Natural Ways To Stop Overthinking And Relax Your Mind
Don’t you just wish we all could just stop overthinking and relax? Is anybody else here guilty of overthinking and second-guessing everything? If you are looking for an example, just ask yourself if you are that person when asked what you want to eat, you can’t decide and ultimately just give up trying to figure it out and lets someone else decide. Making decisions is the worst as an overthinker. I know. I know. I’m probably talking to the ladies here, but figuring out what to eat feels like a really important task when the pressure is on you to…

Healthy Ways To Release Your Bottled-Up Emotions
If you are an individual that struggles with healthy ways to release your bottled-up emotions and feelings when things are rough, raise your hand. If you could see me behind this keyboard, you would see me practically jumping up and down with both hands in the air. I have a confession that I want to make to you all. I bottle up all of my emotions and refuse to seek help because I don’t want to be a burden to others with my issues. This is especially true if I don’t feel that this person would relate to what I…

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…

Take Back Control With Positive Self-Talk
In order to take back control with positive self-talk, we have to admit that we engage in negative self-talk. Because at times, we can be our own worst critics. We are so hard on ourselves as human beings when we are simply just that. Human. We make mistakes. Wrong decisions. And slip up. That is part of what being human is. In one of my very early blog posts, I discussed that in order to confront your fears, you have to change the tune in your head to a much more positive one. If you are familiar with the term…

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…

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…

How To Cope With A Sick Family Member
Having to cope with a sick family member is a lot to handle. Especially with what is currently going on. This is a crazy time that we are currently living in. When you really think about it, our own parents didn’t even deal with a pandemic of this magnitude. None of us saw this coming. Grocery stores limiting the number of people in stores. Retail parking lots are practically empty. Waffle Houses closed. (They NEVER close!) As we have all learned this pandemic cannot be taken lightly as this virus spreads with more and more individuals being confirmed to have…

Overcoming Postpartum Insomnia As A New Parent
So I had horrible postpartum insomnia as a new parent. In fact, I still have insomnia and my daughter is 18 months old now. It’s bad enough that I already dealt with insomnia before I was a mom, but when I became a mom, it only intensified. My fiance on the other hand slept like a baby. Here I am lying awake in the bed at night and whenever I would look over at him, he would be sleeping so soundly and even snoring. Yet I am awake stressing about every little noise our daughter makes and wondering why can’t…
