I Don't Have Time For Picky Eaters It’s dinner time, the plates are set and the meal is hot and ready. “I don’t like that!”, “It’s yucky!!”, “Can you fix me something else?”  You spent time, money, and exhausted efforts on fixing a meal, no matter how fancy or just boxed meals, and your kids simply won’t eat it. Sound familiar? I’ve been there, and it’s not pretty. Being a working parent with kids in school, extracurriculars, obligations, and everything in between, it’s nearly impossible to be ahead of the game with food that all the family likes. Kids go through stages, and what they loved one minute, they hate the next. My seven-year-old ate breakfast burritos like they were a coveted...
Hey Barbie Moms: Celebrating Motherhood In All Its Glory! If you went to the movies over the past two weeks, undoubtedly you’ve seen prissy pink outfits, glamorous heels, and perfectly styled hair as “Barbie” hit theaters. Since its release on July 21st, it has grossed over $700 million, positioning it to be one of the top-producing movies of 2023. I admit I gave in to the hype and took my 15-year-old daughter to see the film, dressed in our pink of course. I opted out of bringing my 6-year-old because I wanted to see it first due to the PG-13 rating. As I watched, I couldn’t help but reflect on my upbringing, my obsession with Barbie as a little girl, and...
New Beginnings After being at home for years, I’m officially back at work. The transition from SAHM to Working Mom isn’t the smoothest. I have mixed emotions. I wish I could firmly say I have a definite opinion on it but that would certainly depend on when and where I am during the day. First, I have massive amounts of guilt. Oh my mommy heart hurts for my babies. I miss my kids more than anything I’ve ever missed in my life. I wonder what they’re doing at school. Are they happy? Do they feel safe? Are they being loved? It's hard for me. When I leave to go to work and I have to say goodbye to my littles, I...
Is Everyone's Life This Chaotic? Let me start by saying that I truly love my children. I have been blessed beyond what I deserve and I am intensely grateful for all that God has given me. I would also like to mention that God has blessed me with the truest form of variety when it comes to these children. Each of my girls are so different from the other, and it keeps our lives in a constantly unpredictable state. I sometimes wonder if that is the root of the chaos that seems to never end, but it could also be that I lack a sense of preparedness and flourish when it comes to last-minute anything. My husband and I recently decided...

You Are A Good Mother

You Are A Good Mother A baby is one of the most beautiful blessings in the world. Becoming a mom is one of my biggest blessings. I am truly thankful for that. My daughter has changed my life in so many ways. The first time I held my daughter, I couldn’t stop looking at her and thinking to myself, "I am responsible for this little human. Everything I do and every decision I make matters." Being a mom is such an amazing job.  We are truly everything to our children. I have learned that being a mom is putting your child’s needs before your own. Getting out of bed even when you don’t have the strength to. Sometimes us moms may...
