Dogs, Toddlers, and Coffee: The Real Holy Trinity of Motherhood

(Bless This Mess and Brew It Strong)

Some moms get by on patience.

Some rely on routine.

But me? I survive on three sacred things:
Dogs. Toddlers. And coffee.

Individually, they’re chaotic. Together, they’re the real Holy Trinity of my daily life—a perfect storm of spilled snacks, muddy paw prints, and reheated caffeine.

And I wouldn’t trade a single part of it (okay, maybe the glitter explosion under the couch).

Here’s a breakdown of this blessed trifecta and why it’s the real backbone of modern motherhood.

👶 Toddlers: Tiny Dictators in Footie Pajamas

Toddlers are wild.
They cry because you gave them the wrong color cup… and then again because you didn’t read their minds to know that they secretly wanted the wrong color cup.

They’re sticky. Loud. Hilarious. Exhausting.
They ask “why?” 78 times before you’ve had your second sip of coffee.

But they also give the best snuggles. The biggest belly laughs. And the most unconditional love—right after throwing a waffle at your head.

🐶 Dogs: The Fluffy Emotional Support Units We Don’t Deserve

Dogs don’t care that your house is a disaster.
They don’t judge your messy bun or your toddler’s meltdown in Target.
They just want to be near you. Always. Even in the bathroom.

They greet you like a queen every time you walk in the door—even if you just went to the mailbox. They clean up food spills like tiny vacuum cleaners. And when the toddler finally crashes, they curl up at your feet like a living weighted blanket.

Bonus: they’ll happily listen to you talk about your day. Or cry into your mug. Or both.

☕ Coffee: The Glue Holding It All Together

Coffee doesn’t ask questions.
Coffee understands.

It fuels the morning chaos, powers through the playdates, and helps us form actual sentences by 10 a.m.
Whether it’s brewed strong, poured cold, or forgotten and microwaved three times, coffee is the constant. The comfort. The fix.

At Mommy Needs A Fix, we believe coffee is more than just a beverage—it’s a survival tool.
One that’s tailored to your level of tired (and trust us, we get it).

🙃 Together? It’s a Beautiful, Exhausting Circus

Here’s a typical scene:

• The toddler is yelling about toast.

• The dog is barking at a squirrel.

• Your coffee is cold.

• And somehow… your heart is full.

Because as messy as this season is, it’s yours.
The sticky kisses. The wagging tails. The sips of sanity. They’re all little reminders that even when it feels like too much… it’s also enough.

☀️ Final Sip

To the moms juggling barking dogs, curious toddlers, and barely-warm coffee:
You’re doing holy work.
You’re raising tiny humans (and fur babies).
You’re holding it all together with caffeine and grit and love that never runs out.

So here’s to you—and your holy trinity.
May your coffee be strong, your toddler nap long, and your pup never eat the last muffin off the counter again. 🙏☕
