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…

Having A Happy And Positive Pregnancy
As I come to the end of this pregnancy journey, I can honestly say that I have had a happy and positive pregnancy. Don’t get me wrong, pregnancy has it’s moments where it definitely sucks. If I could skip the whole being pregnant part with the morning sickness and sciatic pain, I would gladly skip that whole part. But then I wouldn’t get to feel those fetal kicks. And let’s be real. That’s the best part about being pregnant besides everyone catering to you because you are pregnant. I also feel like I had a great pregnancy with my first…

Maintaining Healthy Habits During Pregnancy
It’s important to maintain healthy habits in general, but it’s really important to maintain some good healthy habits during pregnancy. Many of us often wonder and want to know if our baby is healthy during pregnancy and I personally believe that starts with ourselves trying to be healthy. As a second-time mom, this is obviously not my first time being pregnant. When I was pregnant as a first-time mom, I did not know what to expect. A lot of that pregnancy was going with the flow which let’s be honest, we are all going with the flow of pregnancy no…

Get A Good Night’s Rest With The Sutera Dream Deep Pillow
I found a way to get a good night’s rest and I did it with the Sutera Dream Deep Pillow. When I became a new mom, sleep became a luxury with a breastfeeding newborn. Sleep became something I took for granted because I thought I would always get plenty of it one way or another. Boy was I wrong. When I was up throughout the night breastfeeding my daughter when she was younger, my sleep schedule was thrown completely off and I struggled with getting good quality sleep that would actually leave me feeling rested. There is definitely a difference…

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…

How To Get Yourself Out Of A Funk
Don’t you just hate when you find yourself in a funk that you can get out of? I’m not even going to lie. With the way things have been going in the world recently, I have found myself in a few funks. You all know what has been happening in the world, so I think we can all agree that this will put anyone in a funky mood. However, this is our reality and what we all are facing right now. It doesn’t take a pandemic to put someone in a funk. It can be something as simple as stubbing…

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…

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…

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…
