People often compliment my premature son because they haven’t seen a 1-year-old so active.
I always smile, and with wholehearted joy, I explain that my son is actually 2 years-old. And then I say, out of habit, “He’s just small.”
But he’s not just small.
My son was born at 31 weeks of gestation after many complications with my pregnancy.
When I started my blog, I struggled to find balance when working from home.
I didn’t even consider it a business venture for the first month!
As a brand new blogger, I was stressed that the house was a mess and all I wanted to do was write.
Pregnancy is a huge blessing and life-changing experience for many moms.
It’s a beautiful thing and it does have its perks, but it also comes with its own set of challenges – like weird pregnancy symptoms!
Ever heard of the saying Not everything that glitters is gold?
The people on the outside see you in all your pregnant glory and all they can talk about is your cute bump.
Finding out I was pregnant with my second child when my first – my daughter Samaiya – was only 6 months old, was shocking, to say the least.
Excitement, joy, shock, anxiety, and a bunch of other emotions I couldn’t exactly name at the time, took over me.
I was about to be a part of the two babies under 2 club.
The emotions I felt when that unmistakable line showed up in the result window of my HPT, were so intense they could’ve knocked a grown man down.
Summer’s almost here, mamas!
And that means it’s time to get your summer plans in place now, so you’re not feeling overwhelmed when school’s officially out!
If all your kids are school-aged and you work from home, summer can feel like a major source of anxiety. Suddenly, all your kids are home and looking for fun and entertainment.
This holiday season has been especially fun for my family.
It is the first time our daughter (3) has recognized the lights on houses, decorations around the house, presents under the tree, and all of the other fun Christmas traditions.
Yes, you read that right.
Work from home and make a legitimate income as a stay-at-home mom.
We’ve all heard the saying, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Meaning you have to take care of yourself before you try to take care of anyone else.
As parents most of us know that sometimes you have to find a way to pour from an empty cup.
My day consists of working full time as a preschool teacher but it doesn’t stop there.
I am also a wife, a mom of two, and a new blogger.
Not to mention I try to live a healthy lifestyle which can also be time consuming.
Okay mamas! You have done the hardest job of all.
You delivered a precious baby after carrying for 10 whole months. You’ve endured morning sickness, night sweats, and heartburn.
You haven’t had a good night’s sleep, a shower, or a good meal in DAYS! You have put all of your energy into taking care of this brand new baby.
