Things I Cook for My Kids

Been away for a minute. Lamb chops, red beans and rice, green beans 🤌🏾

2025/2/23 Edited to

... Read moreCooking for children can be both rewarding and challenging. It's important to create meals that are not only appealing but also nutritious. Lamb chops, for instance, are a great source of protein and can be prepared in numerous ways to suit different palates. Pairing them with red beans and rice not only adds flavor but also provides essential vitamins and fiber. Green beans, known for their vibrant color and crunchy texture, are a wonderful complement to any meal. Steaming or lightly sautéing them with olive oil and garlic can elevate their taste and nutritional value. Including a variety of colorful vegetables and wholesome grains in your meals can help kids develop healthy eating habits from a young age. Consider involving your children in the cooking process, encouraging them to explore new flavors and textures, making mealtimes an enjoyable experience for the whole family.

Unhealthy things I am unlearning as a mom 🌸
Being a good mom is my top priority. 1. Punishing emotions. I will not get my daughter in trouble for yelling at me, crying, or anything else. If you were crying and somebody told you you have no reason to be, or that they’ll give you a reason to cry, how would you feel? Worse? 2. Shaming.

Intimacy in Front of Kids? Absolutely Not🙄🙄
I don’t care if they “don’t understand yet,” energy is energy, and kids feel everything. Babies might not have words, but they have awareness. As parents, we’re shaping their sense of safety and boundaries from day one, and intimacy is something that should stay private. There’s a line between

Creative kids
Lately I’ve realized that when my kids are extra emotional, bored, clingy, or bouncing off the walls… they usually don’t need more stuff or more screen time. They need more creativity. More paint. More pretend play. More forts in the living room. More messes. More “look what I made!” moments.

Stop guilt-tripping kids
Children don’t owe us for being raised with love, that was our choice. When parents use guilt or manipulation to demand gratitude, they raise adults who confuse love with obligation. A child’s job is to grow and learn, not to carry emotional debts. Parenthood isn’t about repayment; it’s about respo
