Self Care-What is it?-Why Do We Need It?
What’s all this talk about self-care? What even is it? I have no time for self-care. I’m a busy lady. Between being a taxi driver for my kids, cooking, cleaning, laundry, extracurricular activities, how do I fit in self-care? To be honest, I don’t really. There is the occasional pedicure or night out away but that’s about it. Self-care for most moms consists of hiding in the closet to enjoy some red vines alone. I know for me, it’s going to the bathroom without being bombarded by children asking me for this or that. For the love, go ask your dad! Self-care can mean different things for different people. It’s…

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.

How Do I Know When I Am Done Having Kids?
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.

Finding Joy In Motherhood
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…

How I’m Getting Ready For My Summer Body With MD Diet Part 4
This is a sponsored post on behalf of MD Diet. All opinions are my own. I have been with MD Diet for over two months now and I can say that I’ve learned a lot about self-discipline.

I make sure to ask myself these questions before wanting to eat something unhealthy. I’m not going to stop eating the occasional swig cookie though. 😉 All in moderation, right? Life is all about a balancing act! My exercise routine is still…
Top 10 Disadvantages Of Breastfeeding

Usually, I would be highlighting all of the amazing advantages of breastfeeding but today I wanted to turn the tables a bit and talk about the top 10 disadvantages of breastfeeding. I was never able to nurse my first child, as she was in the NICU and would never latch after she got the bottle for almost a week. However, I was determined to breastfeed my boys and I did!
