Casual Summer Dresses For Moms Featuring Closet52
With Summer in full swing here in Texas, I wanted to share some casual summer dresses that are perfect for moms. I don’t know what the weather is like in your area, but it has been very hot here in Texas. Like 100-degree weather hot out here. When it’s hot like this, I just want to wear as less clothes as possible. But the way this mom body of mine is set up, that just wouldn’t be cute if you know what I mean. After having my second baby last year, my postpartum body has left me with a few…

Embracing Being A Girl Dad From A Girl Dad
Embracing being a girl dad was something that came naturally to my husband. This is really surprising considering that he wanted a boy both times I have been pregnant. To be completely honest, we both wanted boys both times I have been pregnant. When we found out both times that we were having girls, my husband actually took it really well and embraced that we were having healthy baby girls. I was actually the one that suffered from some minor gender disappointment. I know that my husband wants a son as I do one day but it just hasn’t been…

Reconnecting With My Husband After Having A Baby
After having our baby girl last year, my husband and I have been making sure we are reconnecting and finding time for one another. It is so easy to get lost in parenting once you have kids. I know my husband and I did when I had my first daughter. It was just the two of us for 5 years before I got pregnant with our first daughter. And once she got here, it really changed up the dynamic that we had before and we had to adjust to being new parents. Nothing really prepares you for being a new…

Making Time For Yourself As A Stay At Home Mom
If there is anything I have learned as a mom, it is important that I’m making time for myself. This is especially true since I’m also a stay-at-home mom. For anyone new here, I’m a stay-at-home mom to my 11-month-old baby girl and my 3-year-old daughter. And as much I love being around my girls, this mama needs some solid me-time every once in a while. My husband works long hours Monday through Friday so it’s just me and the girls the majority of the time. Since I’m the one with the girls most of the time, my breaks usually…

How To Be A Happy Stay At Home Mom With A Baby
When I became a stay-at-home mom, I knew that I wanted to be a happy stay-at-home mom. If you have read about me, then you know that I kind of stumbled into being a stay-at-home mom. It did not come to me naturally. If you want me to be completely honest, I was terrible at being a stay-at-home mom at the beginning of this journey. The only thing I did right was keeping my daughter alive. Which is only part of being a stay-at-home mom. I used to think “How did other stay-at-home moms manage to get things done, keep…

Now that I’m a second-time mom, I have been working on being more preventative in dealing with postpartum depression for a second time. If you all have been keeping up with me on the blog for the past couple of years, then you know that I experienced postpartum depression as a first-time mom. During the first year of my oldest daughter’s life, I was struggling. Even though becoming a new mom was something that I was excited about and looked forward to, it still caught me off guard. I wasn’t prepared for the demand and commitment that comes with motherhood.…

What Stay At Home Moms Need From Their Husbands
There are many things that we stay-at-home moms need from our husbands. Most of you all know that I have two smaller children 3 and under and have been a stay at home going on 4 years on now. And I don’t think I would have made it this far in my stay-at-home mom journey had it not been for the support of my husband. My husband has been involved and supportive through my pregnancies and childbirth. Even after both of the girls were born, my husband was helpful through the newborn phase and continues to be very involved in…

Laundry Routine For Our Family Of 4
Having a laundry routine as a family of 4 has been so helpful for our family. Before I became a mom for the first time, I never thought that badly of laundry. But after having my first daughter, I had different thoughts. I never knew that babies and kids could have so much laundry, but my daughter definitely proved me wrong. Between my husband and I’s laundry and then adding my older daughter’s laundry, the laundry started piling up. And then after I gave birth to my second baby, the laundry now just feels like it is never-ending. You all…
