Quite kid!

7/3 Edited to

... Read moreLiving as a stay-at-home mom offers a unique blend of rewarding and demanding experiences that often go unrecognized. From my personal journey, I’ve learned that embracing routine and finding pockets of focus are essential for mental clarity and managing household responsibilities. One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is maintaining a sense of individuality while dedicating most of my time to my family. Staying organized with daily to-dos while caring for energetic kids requires patience and adaptability. Using tools such as to-do lists or apps has helped me stay on top of chores without feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, I’ve found that setting aside moments for self-care, even just a few minutes a day, is crucial. Simple actions like deep breathing, reading, or even stepping outside for fresh air can recharge your energy and mindset. Technology has been both a help and a distraction. For example, watching informative videos on platforms like YouTube can provide parenting tips and motivation, but it's important to stay mindful of screen time and remain present in daily interactions. Sharing my true crime interests during downtime has been a personal way to unwind and grow hobbies outside of parenting, proving that balancing interests is possible even with a packed schedule. Ultimately, being a stay-at-home mom is about constant learning, seeking support from online communities, and celebrating small victories each day. This real-life approach to parenting and household management is both challenging and deeply fulfilling.

I saw this recipe and remembered my Grandma having these on every Christmas cookie tray when I was a kid, so I had to make them. They are a simple little cookie to make, you can bake quite a few at a time, they don’t spread a lot. Recipe is in photos above, just swipe. #holidayrecipes #lem

Activities I do with my kid to prepare for Pre-K
We bought this for our 2 1/2 year-old, and while he doesn’t seem to understand how to use it quite yet, I think it will be perfect for him to help learn how to write and learn his letters! Since it has dry erase pages, it’s really easy to clean up and reuse. 🏷️ #prekactivity #preschoolactivity

People are in a constant debate about flight ettiquite, but this is my take! • ask before reclining or at least make the passenger behind you aware (they may be super tall, be disabled, or have drinks etc on their tray table that can spill • try to minimize overhead bin use to just your lugagge (
