Shaking Off A Bad Mom Day
Ok, so you are having a bad mom day and in need of a way to shake off this bad day. Kids crying about any and everything. And your significant other is getting on your nerves and they might as well be another kid. Not to mention the house is a mess and your children just keep adding to it. It is just all-around a bad day with no end in sight. Some days don’t always start out bad. They just turn south the moment something bad happens. For me, it’s when my daughter has a big meltdown. Meltdowns can occur at any point during the…

Loving My Body After Having A Baby
I love my daughter, but learning to love my body after having a baby was something that I had to do since it was my body that brought her into this world. And I thought my body going through puberty was a crisis in itself when I was a teenager, Boy oh boy was I wrong. As a woman, I feel like we just can’t catch a break when it comes to our bodies. First, we have to deal with puberty and all that comes with it such as achy boobs and menstruation. And then we are the ones who…

Babyproofing Essentials For Your Toddler
Well, your baby is officially mobile so you are in need of babyproofing essentials to protect your baby from anything that could hurt them. Which is pretty much everything in your house. The moment my daughter started crawling was when I knew that I needed to start babyproofing our home. And when she started walking was when I had to really make sure our home was secure and safe while she explored her new legs. They call it babyproofing, but essentially you are “toddler-proofing” your home when you are taking these measures to ensure the safety of your little ones.…

It’s Time To Ditch The Mom Guilt For Good
Alright, mommas, it’s time to ditch the mom guilt. I refuse to let myself wallow in shame as a stay-at-home mom and wife, because I know I am doing the best I can. And I know I am not the only one who feels this way. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to be these superwomen who do everything and run ourselves into the ground doing so? Of course, we want the best for children and our families. We want to make sure they are thriving and doing well in whatever they pursuing. Yet for some odd…

My Daily Cleaning Routine As A Stay at Home Mom
When I became a stay-at-home mom, I just knew that I had to develop a daily cleaning routine that would keep my home clean and somewhat organized. Because keeping my home clean and tidy with a toddler is a lot harder than what it was before we had a child. If you have been keeping up with me, then you know that I talk a lot about my daughter who can be a little ball of chaos in a toddler’s body. All day long she is playing, eating, and getting into whatever her little hands can get a hold of. The…

How To Be A Calmer Mom With A Toddler
Now would I like to start this post off by saying that I am no expert on how to be a calmer mom with a toddler. Toddlers are an absolute handful and I’m sure my toddler moms know exactly what I am talking about. My daughter is currently 18 months and she can be complete chaos in a size 4 toddler shoe. Toddlers are at a very unique stage in life where they are walking, talking, and can do some things on their own. But they still require a lot of attention and they can’t quite verbalize everything they are…

Recover From These 5 Symptoms Of Mom Burnout
As a mom, I feel like I’m constantly on the edge of what I like to call “mom burnout”. This is especially true as a stay-at-home mom. I am constantly in mom mode and can’t even seem to find a corner in my own home to myself to just think. Life begins to feel very overwhelming and the next thing I know I am stuck in a rut that feels like it will never end. Most of the time, we know when we are on the verge of burnout, but we still find ourselves experiencing it. Now you all know…

Self-Care Ideas For Stay At Home Moms
Managing motherhood at home can get overwhelming really fast which is why self-care is so important for stay-at-home moms. If you have more than one child, then double that overwhelm. I only have one and she can make me feel overwhelmed at just 18 months old. She is at that stage where she is curious about everything and everything has to be touched. Between keeping her occupied while she is not napping, keeping our home from being overrun by toys, and working on this blog, there is barely any time left over for me. In a previous post, I stated…

You Are More Than Just A Mom
It took me a little while into motherhood to realize this, but I am more than just a mom. Becoming a mom is a life-changing event in so many ways. Your body goes through some drastic changes from stretching to accommodate a tiny human to birthing that tiny human. Afterward, it shrinks back down and sometimes leaves behind those lovely stripes of motherhood. Your body not only changes, but you get a new title as well. Mom. One of the best titles in the world to have besides your name. You stare down into those little eyes as they stare…

Start Thriving As A Stay At Home Mom
In order to start thriving as a stay at home mom, we have to see our value even if others don’t initially. Some people have a way of brushing off being a stay-at-home mom as being easy or not that hard to do. Another one I hear is “You are so lucky that you don’t have to get up and go to work every day.” Does getting up every 2 and a half hours throughout the night to breastfeed a crying newborn baby count? The average working individual has set hours that they can clock in and out to work.…
