Maternity Clothing Must-Haves
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…

Pregnancy Stress Coping Tips
Fears I remember when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. The excitement was overwhelming! I had a miscarriage 2 years before that and I really wanted to be pregnant. Once the excitement faded slightly, the fear set it. What did I do? What if I do something accidentally that will hurt the baby? How do I make sure the baby is healthy? How on earth am I going to push a watermelon out of me? These are all valid fears and I was stricken with anxiety! I had my nurse on speed dial pretty much. I’m sure she totally was fed up with me but she never…

This blog post is definitely showing my frazzled side and I am using this platform to get some rantings off my chest. Hope you don’t mind. Today, I needed to run to Costco for two items and I was dreading it the whole time because I had my toddler with me. Needless to say, he is my most difficult child.

Why do I even try to leave the house anymore? I finally grab my toddler by the…

Top Survival Tips For Working Moms To Keep You Sane!
I’m not a full stay at home mom. I have a job as an RN but I do it part time so I can be home more with my kids. I know many don’t have the ability to stay home with their kids and actually work 40 hours a week to pay their bills. I remember when I used to work graveyards as a nurse and came home in the mornings to my small children and I would get about 3 hours of sleep, total! Needless to say, my house suffered because I had no energy! I did that for 4 years! Never again! Most of you don’t work graveyards…lucky!…
