Dear Mama, As a stay at home mom, I know it can be lonely at times, especially if your husband is always at work. My situation is a little different from others. I am alone more than MOST stay at home moms. My husband works full time three days a week (12 hour shifts) at a hospital, and on his off days he works 8 hour shifts at a family run real estate office. My husband never really gets a day off. Every once in a while (perhaps every three weeks) we will be blessed with a ...

I Don’t Miss The Life I Lived Before Becoming A Mother
I was having a rather thoughtful conversation with someone recently who asked if I missed the freedom I had before becoming a stay at home wife and mother. This was a great question because I know at the time the person who asked me this, was able to see the look on my face of frustration as I juggled both of my toddler girls through the mall during our lunch date. My hair was in a messy bun under a visor that was suppose to mask the ”effort” it took to do it. I wore a loose shirt for easy ...
Overwhelmed With Your Gigantic To-Do List? Tap Out!
I have so much on my plate right now it would be an understatement to say I was overwhelmed. People might think that being a stay-at-home mom is an easy lifestyle but contrary to popular belief it is not. Being a stay-at-home-mom is a J-O-B. We just get paid differently.

On top of making sure my toddlers don’t strangle each other over the only Peppa Pig toy in the home (since the rest have expectedly ...

Keep This In Mind To Choose The Best Car Seat
Deciding on a car seat for your little one can be a daunting task for some moms. I know this because I was one of those moms. I remember when I was a mommy-to-be researching through out the night and comparing car seat models and brands. I had no idea where to start or if the reviews I read online for each car seat was honest. I constantly had a sea of questions rolling in and out of my mind. Should I get a separate infant car seat? Should I use the one that comes with the stroller I plan on ...
A Day In The Life of A Stay At Home Mommy of Two
Spend the day with this stay at home mommy of two little girls. We will start today off with some yoga in my living room while my daughters play with their toys. After yoga, we will eat a fruit filled breakfast and sip on our green smoothie, which is filled with vitamins and nutrients from herbs such as moringa and spirulina. We will get dressed up and head to Lake Eola Park at the heart of downtown Orlando where we gaze at the beautiful swans during their swim. A trip to the ...
