Let’s talk about the never-ending chatter among moms about their love for coffee and wine. Seriously, it feels like it’s everywhere! Every time I scroll through my social media, there’s another post about how moms can’t function without their caffeine fix or need that glass of wine at the end of the day. What’s the deal? Why are these beverages so essential for us?

You’ll see posts like, “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee,” racking up thousands of likes. Or images of cozy settings with captions like “Wine glass, please!” (Okay, I might’ve made that one up too). But why haven’t we moved past this yet? Let’s break it down.

First up, coffee:

• Many of us have kids who wake us up multiple times a night, so our “day” often starts at bedtime, and by morning, we need a serious jolt.
• We might have a mountain of tasks to tackle before 8 a.m.
• Well, let’s face it, caffeine is a legal pick-me-up we all rely on.
• Nobody wants to deal with withdrawal headaches, right?
• A lack of coffee can turn us into really cranky people, and no one wants to face that wrath!
• Our eyes need to fully open, not just halfway—otherwise, we could be in trouble.
• Sometimes, breakfast is a luxury we can’t afford while wrangling kids, so we need some energy boost.
• We can customize our coffee just the way we like it, whether it’s a sweet treat or a simple black brew.
• And yes, we’re just plain thirsty!
• Plus, if we had a bit too much wine the night before, coffee is the perfect remedy to shake that off.

Now, let’s chat about wine:

• By 9 p.m., we might not have had a moment to ourselves all day and just want to unwind. We might be moms, but we’re still human!
• When the kids finally sleep, it’s a mini celebration, even if they only stay down until midnight.
• Worries about our kids, work, bills, pets, or a million other things can cloud our minds, and sometimes we just need a break.
• Let’s be honest, wine tastes pretty darn good!
• Sometimes, it helps to ease into a little romance with our partners if you catch my drift.
• It can be nice to maintain some sanity amidst the chaos of motherhood.
• And let’s face it, tequila and rum can be a bit much sometimes.
• We’re really thirsty, okay?
• There’s something undeniably glamorous about sipping wine from a fancy glass—even if we’re in sweats with messy hair.

So, why do we keep talking about coffee and wine? Here’s the kicker: we share everything with our kids. Beds, wombs, screens, bathrooms—you name it. But coffee and wine? Those are ours alone. The kids can’t touch them! So, let’s raise a glass (or a mug) to coffee, wine, and the beautiful chaos of motherhood!
