Let’s Confess Some Joy This Week

You know, sometimes it takes a bit of work to find the joy in your every day (especially lately). And sometimes, it’s hard to share that joy out loud. You feel like you’re tone-deaf, you feel like people will find you cringe, you feel like you’ll be judged for looking for the tiniest crumb of joy. But in the latest Scary Mommy Confessions roundup, there are plenty of moms just like you — sharing their tiny wins so they can feel a little jolt of dopamine.

Because sometimes, these joyful little secrets and happy little things we’re holding onto are really what’ll help us through the rest of the week. What could be better than a little golden nugget of happiness in your brain, even if you aren’t saying it out loud? Hold onto it, treasure it, never let it go — and read on for other moms just like you and the little things they’re confessing to feel joyful about this week. It’s rebellious to be joyful.
