1 mommy 2 hands

All too often I hear from other mommies that they are invisible to their kids, invisible to their partners, Invisible in life. STOP! You are not a Victim, you are not Invisible, You are a Powerhouse! It’s time to step into your power and be accountable for yourself!

Are you harder on one child than the other? Does one kiddo grate on your nerves more so than the other? Here’s my take on it.

How do you feel when you look in the mirror after having a baby? Do you wish you had your pre baby body back, I do and I’m trying my hardest to appreciate every roll and dimple that was created as I grew two beautiful boys.

I finally “get” what motherhood is all about. It’s an honor to be called “mom”.

What do you do on the bad days where you want to give up and not deal with your irrational child. These are things I do to “flip the switch” and make those moments less defeating.

While it’s easy to take on the accountability of our children and their actions, they truly are their own person with their own individuality and personality.

I don’t have an hour to dedicate to myself every day but I do have 5 minutes and I believe that something is better than nothing. I want to share with you my 7 day guns, buns and abs challenge so that we can learn to give ourselves 5 minutes a day.

It’s so common to self doubt and feel like you are lacking but I’m here to tell you that you are enough, you are more than enough! Trust that!

Dedicated to all the mommies out there that feel like that have to have it all and do it all. It can be exhausting and overwhelming. Know that you are not alone!

We are so hard on ourselves as we start our journey into motherhood. It’s important to be kinder and more loving to ourselves.

When you find out the gender of your baby and become disappointed when it’s not what you hoped for. It’s okay, it happens, it happened to me and this was my take on it.

At some point in the journey of motherhood we are overcome with mommy guilt and we need to realize that it’s okay and we truly are doing the best we can.

Prior to becoming a mother, I had a successful career; work was part of my identity. Post baby, that identity changed and there is a sense of loss in what defines me and who I am. How many of you feel the same?

The 4th Trimester is the loneliest trimester in my experience.

The benefit to being older and pregnant is you are willing to use your voice, stand up for yourself and trust your “mommy” instincts.

For all the mom’s out there that feel alone in their thoughts and in this journey we call motherhood - you are not alone.

I became my own advocate because I was tired of Doctors telling me, “because of your age”.

It’s okay to wait. Not all women in their 40’s need fertility treatments to conceive.

The transition from zero to 1 kid then from 1 to 2 kids.

Building a community of mom’s everywhere!
