“Life is better being a mom.”
Surviving 10 Days Without Dad
For the last 10 days I caught just a glimpse of what life is like for single mothers as my husband went out of town to take the last class for his doctoral program. I am such a proud wife, but I knew a week and a half with our four girls and none of his help would be interesting to say the least. Here we are, 10 days later. It wasn't easy, but I survived!
Any Transition In Parenting Is the Hardest Transition
As a mom of four girls, I am constantly asked by people expecting a new baby, the question of "which transition was the toughest?". My answer is always the same....every single one!
For those who are new readers or don't know my story, here's a little background. I met my husband when my oldest was 2 months old. We fell in love FAST and we got married just 11 months after meeting.
Girl power
We live in a world where women are constantly having to prove their worth, their abilities, and their competence. Women are degraded by men, intentionally and unintentionally. I have four girls. I'm always worried about them and I tend to overthink how my husband and I should raise them.
Moving with children
We just finished moving from California to Colorado as my husband took on an awesome new job. Can I just mention that I am beyond happy that we no longer have to pay California housing prices? Hallelujah! Anyways, 18 hours of driving with four young children (7, 4, 3, and 1) and I thought to myself...
The stereotype of being a girl mom
I'm sure many of you have seen the boy mom vs girl mom video recently swirling around Facebook. I honestly don't know where this came from. The idea of girls being well behaved vs boys who aren't. I am a mother of FOUR girls. I cannot attest to what it's like with boys, but I sure can say what it's like raising girls.
