i continuously reference 👶🏽💕

full disclosure, i’m not sure how to parent.

i’m just hopeful my best is enough & i hold enough clarity each day to know if my best was done. ✔️

these books have helped in my journey & made it through multiple moves. they’re the keepers i’ve referenced again & again

do you have a parenting book you keep on hand to review in times of question?!

... Read moreIn the journey of parenthood, having the right resources can make all the difference. Many parents find comfort in referring to trusted books that offer insights into child development and effective parenting strategies. For instance, the American Academy of Pediatrics provides an authoritative guide, "Caring for Your Baby and Young Child," covering vital information from birth to age five. This book is essential for understanding your child's growth phases and health needs. Another excellent resource is John Medina's "How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five." This book is based on research-backed principles that foster cognitive and emotional development, emphasizing the importance of nurturing empathy in children. Parents seeking to understand their children's emotional landscape may also appreciate Dr. Dunckley's work, focused on creative strategies to manage children's activities in a balanced way. Additionally, works like "Women Who Run With the Wolves" provide a deeper understanding of personal growth and self-care, ultimately benefiting motherhood and personal well-being. Each of these books has played a significant role in enhancing the parenting experience by combining expert knowledge with personal narratives. Engaging with a community can also enrich your parenting journey. Online forums and platforms like Lemon8 offer spaces for parents to share their recommendations and experiences. Connecting with fellow parents can help identify useful books and techniques, ensuring you never feel alone in your quest for effective parenting. Do you have go-to books that offer you comfort and guidance? Share your thoughts!

A woman hangs from a pull-up bar, demonstrating a dead hang exercise. This is recommended for building grip strength, shoulder mobility, and flexibility as part of a warmup.

How I improved my grip strength to lift heavier!
You know in order to make more progress in the gym you have to continuously practice progressive overload (which is more weight or reps over time). My muscles used to be able to lift more but my grip would give out before I could challenge my muscles. So if this happens to you here are 2 things
