Hot Mess Mom Tips to Feel Like You Have Your Sh*t Together In one way or another we are all hot mess moms, some of us just have it under wraps a little better than others. On the "Hot Mess Mom Spectrum" there are many different levels to the hot mess-ness, from the mom who is always rushing, to the mom who serves chicken nuggets for almost every meal because they are too tired to fight and hey at least their kid is eating.

Our routine is nothing fancy and generally doesn't take up too much of our time.
