Just remember, mama loves you.

Mommy's Ready to Fight
You definitely should watch out when a mama is feeling defensive. That's right, their little babies are treasured, and she won't think twice to defend them. If you bother her pride, prepare for a fierce battle. This isn't the time to be brave. Better scramble while you still can.
- Chill Out.
- Let her be.
- Keep your voice down.
Taming Dragons Doesn't Come With A Manual
Let's be honest, raising a dragon isn't comparable with disciplining your typical house pet. There are no veterinarians who fully understand the intricacies of their unique biology, and forget about finding a manual that outlines everything from emitting hot breath to inter-species communication. You're on your own, adventurer, and the only lesson plan is trial and experimentation.
Sorry What I Said When I Was Hangry

Cherish My Kids A Lot But Also... Wine
Being a parent is seriously amazing, but sometimes you just need a tiny dose of wine. Let's be honest, those tiny humans are adorable, and they definitely drain your sanity. After a long day of playing, a glass of sparkling can be just the magic potion you need to unwind. It's not about being a bad parent, it's about self-care!
