About The
DGAF Mom

Don’t. Give. A. Fuck.

I spent my first few precious years as a new mom trying to be perfect at motherhood, at being a working mom, at being a wife, at balancing all of it. I tried to spin all the plates, wear all the hats, and make it look effortless and simultaneously totally doable.

Lies.

This blog was the result of a tearful wakeup call.

For the past several years I’ve been helping parents navigate the small moments in our lives that may or may not be worth giving a fuck about. Whether it’s meal planning, breastfeeding, behavior issues, or even how to talk to your kids about important and challenging topics (such as death or race) there’s probably some content to help you live your best DGAF life.

Who Is the
DGAF Mom?

I’m Beth. I’m the DGAF MOM (that’s Dee-gAF).

I believe that being a mom is hard.

I’ve learned that when I don’t give a fuck about things that aren’t serving me, this whole parenting thing can become so much more fun. I also don’t know how I feel about something until I write about it…which is why this blog came to exist. Thanks for being here.

Meal Plan Like a Lazy Bitch

The DGAF Mom's meal planner has been a complete game-changer for our family.

I've been meal planning consistently for the last ten years or so, but haven't ever found a way to make the process really easy and efficient. Using Trello has changed that, and it's helped me build a system that my kids and husband can use too - making delegation far easier. I've now got a month's worth of meal plans set up in Trello, and it's easy for me to just whizz through and add ingredients to the week's grocery list. When we run out of things, other people can add them straight to the week's list, streamlining the process. I haven't figured out how to set Trello so that it stops people putting the empty milk carton back in the fridge, but I'm sure there's a way! - Liz V.

I am chronically disorganized. If I manage to write a grocery list, I can just about guarantee you that I will arrive at the grocery store and my list will be sitting on the kitchen counter. When Beth told me about her genius idea to create a menu plan AND shopping list with Trello, I was immediately on board. My only concern was the Trello part, I'm ok-ish with tech stuff, but I had tried Trello for other things and it didn't click. HOWEVER, this time, it clicked. Beth makes it SO easy to use. Her instructions are on point.

I love this system because it works and it is simple. The first time I used it, I went to the store, got everything on my list (and nothing more, I spent less money than I usually do!) and had dinners my family loves for the whole week. It's amazing to have the brain space back that thinking about shopping for and making dinner used to take up.

Take the small amount of time it might take you to figure out Trello if you haven't used it before. You'll pick it up quickly and the time this menu plan system will save is priceless.

I am LOVING your blog. Can’t wait for all the resources to come. Thank you for what you do. You’re helping so many people navigate a scary and hard world!

I have really been enjoying getting to be a real “boss bitch” and have already gotten four recipes and multiple cards as well as checklists. I have just started getting to grocery lists, I am on day five I think… thank you for being awesome. You rock. - Mandy S.

I was desperately looking for someone who could relate to the type of person I am and who straight up does not give a flying fuck. So bless you for creating this. - Sarah L.

I love your content and your meal planning digitized is just awesome af. - Alyssa S.
