There are many things to consider if something were to happen. I’m one of those freak shows that have anxiety about this stuff, constantly. Yes, I called myself a freak show. I’m always thinking, what if I don’t have enough food storage? What if I don’t have enough water? Will my kids be ok if something were to happen? I think about these things daily and honestly, you should too! Having an emergency kit is super important to…

I’m not sure why or what I’ve done to be living with anxiety but I can tell you, it’s miserable. I’ll be totally fine then the next minute, I’m just not. I know there are triggers to my anxiety and I really try to avoid those at all costs. Sometimes, life just comes at you like an iron fist and I can’t stop it. People die, get sick, there’s stress, things I can’t control, etc. I have the hardest time dealing with the things I can’t control. This is the hardest thing for me and for many others as well. When my anxiety kicks in, I know I’m being irrational…

I’m a mom to three kids and I’m a registered nurse so, I know a thing or two when it comes to pregnancy. There are some things to avoid in pregnancy to keep you and your baby safe. Pregnancy is an exciting and also scary time in the lives of many women. It is exciting because of the fact that you’ll be having a tiny human to care for soon. It’s also scary because you are responsible to care for your unborn child while in the womb to make sure they have the best chance at a healthy life. The things we put in and on our bodies matter to…

Tantrums are the worst thing to deal with whether you’re in your home or outside of it. They drive me crazy and make me really angry. When you have a small child, tantrums are inevitable. They are still learning how to control their emotions and most of the time, they lose the battle with their emotions. Here is exhibit A: While I am dealing with a tantrum, I am trying not to start my own full-blown toddler tantrum. People will think I’m insane.🤷‍♀️ With these tantrums, I’ve noticed a pattern that has worked for me. Obviously, I don’t have a magic pill to completely stop it but I have found…

Having Kids While I was dating my husband and after we got married, our idea was to have 4 children in our life. Since starting my motherhood journey, I had my first child when I was 24 years old. I would have had a baby earlier except I lost my first baby. If you want to read about that, take a look here. Now that my youngest is 3 years old, I have talked it over with my husband and we feel like we don’t need any more children. I might have had another one but my youngest is a very big hand full. I love him but he exhausts…

The past few months, I’ve been feeling a little lost, down, confused, and just exhausted. I have always been a positive and happy person but lately its been harder for me. I have so many things in my life to be grateful for so even talking about being down makes me feel ungrateful. I think it’s normal to feel this way at times. Finding joy in motherhood is harder than I thought it would be. My children are happy and healthy. We have a nice home we live in and cars that work well to get us around. We are able to eat well and also have some fun at…

As a mom of three children, I know how hard things can get. I have had several times where I have totally lost my mind. Usually, I end up feeling like a horrible mom. I have to remind myself that I am only human and try to forgive myself for losing my patience. There are several reasons why we lose our patience. We all do it. Nobody is Mary Poppins here. I’m not perfect in every way like Ms. Poppins. I have my downs and I can accept this. The important thing is to try and learn from your shortcomings. Here are some big things that can cause you to…
