My Pregnant Stay At Home Mom Routine
As a pregnant stay-at-home mom, I think figured out a routine that will work for me during this pregnancy. Many would think that since I’m already home that this would be ideal for any pregnant person. Which is true and false. As many of you already know, I have a 2-year-old daughter which means I’m a pregnant stay-at-home mom with a toddler. Being a pregnant stay-at-home mom with children is completely different from being a pregnant stay-at-home wife with no kids. A stay-at-home wife with no kids can enjoy her pregnancy without having to deal with children being present that…

Feel Fulfilled As A Stay At Home Mom
How many moms can truly say they feel fulfilled as a stay at home mom? If you would have asked me that a couple of years ago when my daughter was born, I would have definitely said absolutely not. In fact, I was struggling with postpartum depression and just feeling lost. There isn’t exactly a manual on how to be a stay-at-home mom and there is not any way to even know if you are even doing it right. The only rule that I know for sure that would be in that manual if it were to exist is to…

My Experience With Stay At Home Mom Depression
So is stay-at-home-mom depression really a thing? For anyone who has never been a stay-at-home mom, most think being home with your kids all day must be nice because you don’t have to worry about going to a job every day. You get to just be home all day and don’t have to worry about a thing except taking care of the kids. Sound easy right? Wrong. When I transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom after my daughter was born almost 2 years ago, no one told me about the amount of pressure I would face being home with my…

Easy Ways To Look Put Together As A Stay At Home Mom
As a stay-at-home mom, I want to look put together and polished while I’m home taking care of my daughter and the house. I know that quarantine has had all of us looking a little frumpy these days with us being home and not really getting the chance to go out. I could be just talking about myself here, but when you get used to being at home, you kind of just get lazy about the way that you look. And why should you care right? If I’m not leaving the house that often, why I do need to get…

How To Be An Organized Stay At Home Mom
The moment that I knew I was going to be a stay-at-home mom when my daughter was born, I knew that I need to be an organized stay-at-home mom. As some of you may know, I do not like clutter. I can’t stand it because it makes me feel so unorganized. And when I am unorganized, I am ineffective. And as a mom when I am ineffective, it makes for a very bad “mom” day. I wrote an entire post on decluttering the different areas of your home and where to start if decluttering feels overwhelming to you. Just like…

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…

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…

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.…

My Simple Morning Routine As A Stay At Home Mom
Having a morning routine as a stay-at-home mom is so crucial. This is especially true for stay-at-home moms with toddlers because we all know how toddlers are. In my experience, your morning can make or break your day and the last thing we want to experience is a bad “mom” day because our morning started off rough. Whether your mornings start off with a crying baby or a hungry toddler, getting off to a good start is so critical and imperative when you have a little person to look after. I know I always find it interesting to see what…
