Super moms, remember your strength, but also embrace self-care. Saying 'NO' is okay. Prioritize yourself to recharge and shine! Read the following post from our owner as a reminder that just because you can do hard things, doesn't mean you always have to.
Having three children has brought new levels of complexity and challenges to my life. With two kids, it was easier to divide and conquer, but with the arrival of our third child, everything changed. As the primary source of nourishment for my baby, I find myself constantly meeting his needs. Balancing the needs of my other two children, one with anxiety and the other on the autism spectrum, adds an extra layer of responsibility. Some days, it feels like I'm falling short and struggling to take care of everyone while maintaining my own well-being. This journey has taught me the importance of seeking support and practicing self-care. It's a daily battle, but I'm determined to navigate motherhood with love and resilience, knowing that I can't pour from an empty cup.
Whether it's your first or your fifth, birth never gets any easier. And while you and your partner might be nervous and excited to welcome the newest member of your family, let's face it: There's nothing like having a nurse in the room you can trust completely with you & your baby's health. Take a look at my "thank you" letter to all the Labor & Delivery nurses I've come across.
Its hard to remember all that you have accomplished when your cup is empty. We as women do so much and don't get the praise that we deserve. I am just now realizing the magnitude of all of this and I am writing about it for the world to see.
You can't help others if you're not taking care of yourself. Self-care is important, and it's something that we often forget about. We're always trying to help others, but how can we do that if we're running on empty? Lets catch up and let me tell you about my postpartum journey thus far and what I've done to get out of the funk that I was in.
Finally here with round two with this three part blog series. The first part was hit or miss with some people. I do not apologize for what was written because so many women have gone through this process and have been told those things. The first blog was an eye opener that you have to be mindful of what you say to women who are struggling with infertility. Here are somethings that you should not say to women who are already pregnant and realize that not all advice is welcomed/needed.
There is this saying that was super popular when I was growing up “sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt me”. As I grew older I have determined that to be an absolute LIE. As I sit here pregnant with my 4th child [my first passed due to stillbirth] I reflect on the things that have been said to me over the last 13 years. Whether I was trying to conceive, already pregnant, post pregnancy or after the loss of my child. I have also asked this question in a mom group that I am in and got their input and there have been a lot of repeated things said to women that are extremely offensive but are said with “the best intentions”.
Its Wednesday morning, April 6th and my period is due. Usually, I wake up and aunt flo is just there waiting for me, but not this time. I woke up...
Need the inside scoop on how to stay productive while dealing with sick children. I have all the tips and tricks to help you in your time of need. It worked for me, and i'm sure it will work for you.
Trying to get pregnant is harder than it looks. I make the joke that it is easier to not get pregnant in your 20's than it is to get pregnant in your 30's. Here is how the journey is going thus far.
Keeping it 100% real in 2022 and wanted to keep you posted on what changes are [hopefully] happening in our life this year!
I get asked a lot how I do it all...running my business, maintaining my household and keeping my sanity. Its all about figuring out what tasks you can simplify and what tasks aren't even that "important". Take a look at how I do it and what items I use on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
