Staying Productive And Busy While You Are Pregnant
“Jas, how were you staying so productive and busy while you were pregnant, because girl I was tired!” Someone recently asked me this question over on social media and I thought that this was a great topic to cover in a blog post so here we are! Social media has a way of distorting reality based on images you see because the majority of the time, the pictures and videos I put out there are happy, uplifting, and show me doing things. When in reality, this momma is tired too. After all, pregnancy fatigue is very much a thing and…

Creating A Nursery Nook In Your Master Bedroom For A Newborn
Newborns don’t need much room which makes creating a nursery nook in your master bedroom an ideal thing to do for those first few months. Unlike my first daughter, we had an extra room to create and decorate as her nursery. Which I enjoyed doing very much. But this time around, we don’t have that extra room so we will be sharing our bedroom with the baby until we can transition her to her sister’s room where they will be sharing a room eventually. With this in mind, we ultimately have to create a nursery nook in our master bedroom…

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…

Where To Start Decluttering When You Are Overwhelmed
When I’m overwhelmed by clutter in my home, I don’t know where to start decluttering. I can’t think straight and will likely be highly unproductive at whatever I am needing to do that day. I don’t know if it is still the nesting or the need to be always productive from when I was pregnant, but I am constantly decluttering. It is just something about decluttering and cleaning out my space that feels so relieving and instantly reduces my stress levels. It feels like a weight has been lifted off of me that had just been hanging around for much…

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…
