5 Signs You Might Be Running on Coffee and Chaos

(And Why That’s Totally Okay)

Motherhood is beautiful, magical, life-changing... and also a full-contact sport powered by caffeine and pure determination. If you've ever found yourself reheating the same cup of coffee three times in one morning, this one's for you. 💛

Here are five telltale signs that you, Mama, are running on coffee and chaos—and crushing it anyway.

1. You’ve Forgotten Your Coffee in the Microwave... Again

You poured it. You meant to drink it. But then the baby spit up, someone needed a snack, the dog escaped the backyard, and—yep, there it is. Still sitting in the microwave an hour later.
At this point, it’s more of a routine than a mistake.

2. Your Kids Know Not to Speak to You Until You’ve Had Your “Fix”

They’ve learned. The hard way. That nothing—not even a missing shoe or an upside-down diaper—should be brought to you until you’ve taken at least one sip.
Respect the ritual.

3. You’ve Reached the Point Where Half-Caff Feels Like a Luxury

You started the day with full throttle. But by 2 p.m.? You're eyeing the half-caff like it's your reward for surviving snack time, screen time, and scream time.
Quarter caff? That’s your nightcap.

4. You’ve Considered Brewing Coffee with a Baby Bottle Warmer

We’re not saying you’ve done it.
We’re just saying... you’ve thought about it.

Efficiency is everything when you’ve got a toddler climbing the counter and a newborn glued to your chest.

5. You Can Function on 4 Hours of Sleep—But Only If the Coffee’s Good

Your body? Exhausted.
Your brain? Slightly glitchy.
Your soul? Rebooted by that first glorious sip.

Whether it’s full caff or your beloved decaf, coffee doesn’t just keep you awake—it brings you back to life.

☕ Final Sip

If you saw yourself in any of these, you’re definitely one of us. The coffee-fueled, sleep-deprived, chaos-managing warriors we call moms.

And if you're going to run on caffeine and crumbs, you might as well enjoy every single sip. That’s why Mommy Needs A Fix exists—to give you the coffee you need, with the options your lifestyle demands (and the merch to match your mood).

Keep going, Mama. You've got this—and we’ve got the coffee.
