1/21 : Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

🌞 Day 1:

I’ve debated a lot on how I would move forward with this platform and if I should even post anything about my life. Like many of us, I’m sure, this app popped up as an ad. I felt compelled to try based off of its aesthetics. My life truly is unaesthetic (which is the beauty of it), especially as a stay at home mom of two. Yet, I still fell safe to post even if this gets no traction and it’s just for me.

A lot of moms out there struggle like I do when it comes to social life and feeling like we need more. Keeping a diary could be exactly what I need to keep myself busy and feel important again. I do love taking care of my babies but I’d like to prioritize taking care of my mental health as well. I did my makeup today! Big win! #realisticmomlife #unaestheticmomlife #embracevulnerability #Lemon8Diary #stayathomemom #lemon8diarychallenge

... Read moreBeing a stay-at-home mom comes with its unique challenges and rewards. Many mothers experience feelings of isolation and the struggle to maintain social connections while prioritizing their families. Keeping a diary not only serves as a creative outlet but also helps in acknowledging small victories that often go unnoticed. Self-care is crucial in this role, and simple acts like doing your makeup can be a big win, as they help boost confidence and promote mental well-being. By sharing our vulnerabilities, we create a supportive community where moms can connect and validate each other's experiences. Social media platforms like Lemon8 offer the perfect space for moms to share their stories, tips, and daily lives, fostering a sense of belonging. Using hashtags such as #realisticmomlife and #unaestheticmomlife allows for genuine connections with those facing similar situations. It’s about finding beauty in the everyday chaos and supporting one another through the challenges of motherhood.

Being a stay at home mom affected my mental health
When my husband and I first had our child. We didn’t expect life to be what it was besides him being in NICU, everything was going good until we had to move. We moved and it was hard for me to find daycares because of waitlists. This made it hard for me to find a job. I was used to working and bei

Time Management for a stay at home Mom
1. Keep a planner and a notebook near by at all times. I can’t stress this enough how helpful both of these are for everyday stuff. With a planner you can plan out your day hour by hour and that helps me greatly. And with a notebook you can use it as a brain dump to remind yourself to get task done
