    Want Well-Rounded Children? It’s All About Healthy Development

    06/21 / 1 Comment

    Researchers believe that the first five years of a child’s life are essential. If you can give them the right experience early on, they’re much more likely to develop into healthy teenagers and adults. You’ll avoid all the drama, tantrums, and emotional complexity involved in dysfunctional development.   But what exactly should parents be doing? Nobody teaches us. Instead, we’re left with the same strategies our parents used on us, and heaven knows, they weren’t always ideal.   In this post, we take a look at some of the things that professionals recommend – the result of decades of research, trial and error.   Unsplash – CC0 License    …

    Our Children Are Our Garden

    09/27 / 1 Comment

    Our children are our garden. They absorb our stress, just as they absorb our peace. They absorb our negativity just as they absorb our joy. And we have the power to control what they absorb, but first, we must tend to ourselves – Rachel Macy Stafford August 2020: This hits home so hard for me right now. I can imagine I am not in this boat alone either. I am not doing a great job of tending to me… I feel like I have been under water since March of last year and slowly drowning. I thought going back to work and having Coop at school would normalize things again,…

    Returning to Work After Baby

    08/17 / 4 Comments

    Returning to work after having a baby is a difficult and emotional challenge that many moms must face. I had three months of paid maternity leave and though I had prepared for the day, so I thought, I never knew the emotional and physical challenge would be so difficult. I had been pumping and stock piling breast milk in preparation. About three weeks beforehand I started teaching little man how to take a bottle. I have heard horror stories about mama’s that didn’t do this and their infant refusing to eat when in childcare so I cannot emphasize how important this is. He hated taking a bottle from me but…

    Postpartum What?

    07/10 / No Comments

    Okay ladies and gents it is a topic no one wants to talk about but it is a fact of life and it happens. If you have been following my posts you will know we are now home with our lil one and attempting to adjust. Of course we were both sick when we came home but that passed after the first week or so. Around week two is when the real fun begins! See I am by nature OCD. I am a counter (literally have numbers running in my mind all day) and things have to be a certain way or in my mind the world is pre-apocalyptic. So…
