As a natural human and mom, it is normal to struggle at times. It’s normal to compare ourselves to others. The big one for me right now is comparing my body to other women’s bodies. I’m not a heavy person. I weigh about 130LB and am 5’4, so why do I care how thin other women are? I’m pretty tired of thinking about it. I shouldn’t care about this at all. The other thing that I do is compare the cleanliness of my home to other women who have cleaner homes. I wonder how they juggle kids, work, and cleaning a home? I have 3 kids. Two of those kids…

I’m a mother to 3 kids and I know what it feels like having mom guilt. Our lives as mothers are so busy all day, every day. We lose track of what’s going on or what needs to happen. Our surroundings start to look like a blur. Are we spending enough time with our children? Do they even know what I look like anymore? Are they feeling neglected? At times, I forget what day…

Nowadays, I have realized that many kids are lacking some qualities that are vital to their well being as an adult. Children are very entitled and expect things to come easy. This quality is so annoying to me and I feel it is partially our fault as parents. Where did we go wrong? Why are kids so entitled? These days, we live in a society of instant gratification. We all have internet on our phones, there are drive-thru restaurants at every turn of the corner, and there are video games at home. Kids have no patience for anything because things are so readily available to them. They want to wait…

I remember when I was pregnant with my middle child, I felt a little bit guilty and sad that my oldest would not get 100% of my attention anymore. It’s all a natural part of life but I couldn’t help but worry about how it might affect her in a negative way. I knew I wanted her to feel the same amount of love as she always had. My daughter just barely turned three years old when my middle child was born. She knew something was going on because of my ginormous belly. I kept telling her she was going to be a big sister. She would light up when…

Congratulations! You’re starting to get big and people are noticing you’re pregnant. This is such a fun time. You’re starting to think about giving birth to your baby. Most women are really nervous about this part if this is their first child. I was super nervous too but after I had my first, I realized it isn’t that bad. The thought of having an unmedicated childbirth was never really a thing I wanted to do. I am all for the epidural. Now, when I think about my labors; I probably could have gone without an epidural. Apparently, my pain tolerance is pretty high. With my first, my water broke and…

When I was pregnant with my daughter almost 10 years ago, I was super excited when I started to show because that meant I could actually wear maternity clothes. At the time, I didn’t know of the maternity clothing must-haves since I never made it that far in my first pregnancy to wear any. You know what though? I was able to go pretty far without needing many maternity clothes while being pregnant with my daughter. I found that all I needed to really have was some basics so I was comfortable. Now once I hit my 7th month, I actually needed more things because my other stuff just did…
