“Life is better being a mom.”
Do What You Have To Do
Hey mama, are you struggling to get through your day? Are you just not having it with the tantrums, refusals of naps, potty training mishaps, or fighting between children? Well, you are not alone, and I'm here to tell you to do what you gotta do!
Focus On the Good to Enjoy the Growth
What do you see in this picture? You see a baby grinning from ear to ear. You see a happy moment with a child playing in the tub. What you don't see is a baby who peed in the tub, or a baby who threw a large cup full of that gross bath water in mommy's face. Parenting is full of joyful moments and it's also full of tough ones, but we can either choose to focus on the good or allow the bad overwhelm us.
For All Of the Stay At Home Mom’s
The pressure of being a stay at home mom is huge! We are responsible for many things, such as our children's safety, making sure they are always keep clear from choking hazards or injuring themselves climbing too high in a tree. We are responsible for their behavior and becoming a good person, having manors, being kind to their siblings and other people. We are responsible for their learning, both before they enter kindergarten and through high school providing help with homework. This just scratches the surface of our jobs as stay at home moms.
Raising Kids Really Does Take A Village
I would like to sit here and tell you that me and my husband have got this whole parenting thing figured out. I would love to tell you that my children need us and only us. I'd love to even say that when they need help with something, they automatically want to come to us, and whenever they have a question, we are their first choice of people to ask. However, I'd be lying if I said that. My daughters and all kids everywhere need other adults to come alongside of us parents as we raise our children. Okay, so me and my husband are extremely lucky!
Nobody knows you better than your kids
I came to this conclusion in the car the other day while running errands with my girls. Singing <em>obnoxiously and having a dance like nobody's watching attitude. Think about it.
You are....enough.
What if I told you that no matter where you're at in life that you are enough? Do you feel like you immediately want to disagree?
Back to school be like...
All of us moms do it, we set more goals for ourselves at this time of the year than New Year's Eve! We tell ourselves we're gonna pack lunches the night before.... well balanced ones of course, set out <em>non wrinkled clothes on the dresser and backpacks on the counter the night before, we dream of styling their hair oh so perfectly with no frizz, and you know....the list goes on.
What I wanna teach my kids about friendship
Life isn't meant to be lived alone. That's why we were created to be in relationships with others, whether that be marriage, dating, or friendship! Friendship is beautiful if done in the right way. Often times I see and hear sad things in the world though that make me question how people really view friendship. This is why I want to teach my kids how to do them well!
The power of words
As parents one of our goals in raising them is to keep them from getting hurt, whether that be physical or emotional. But what happens when you can't?
