Parents Seem to Overthink so Much

Parents Seem to Overthink so Much

I must admit, I am guilty from time to time of feeling overwhelmed and wondering “am I doing this right?!” Then I stop and really calm down, get those nerves settled and realize that I am doing this right. Who are you to tell another parent that they are not doing it right? For example; with my youngest having separation anxiety in the mornings — many will say I need to just leave him kicking and screaming, that is not something I am comfortable with. The reason I am not comfortable with that is this; I feel its my job to safely and securely get him into his classroom ready for his day, I feel it’s a job between the teacher and myself to have compassion yet firmness about ensuring …

Separation Anxiety is a Pain in the Bum Bum

I love my children. All of them. Everyone knows this. You can see it in how I write about them, talk about them, and share moments with them. Sure. I adore my children and I adore being a Mama.  The only problem, thus far, out of all I have experienced up until this point of parenthood is that I cannot handle separation anxiety.

I do not do this to be mean, but in all reality parenting can come off pretty “mean” at times, you know, I am the meanie of all meanies. I am hated, I am loved. I am disliked, I am sort of liked. That goes with the job of parenthood. I wouldn’t have it any other way! From the smallest examples of going swimming; my oldest wears no floaties and only …

Personalised Wall Art for Your Tweens Room

There are so many fun personalised wall art bedroom options that girls can use to make their room unique… I foresee the girls having personalized wall art stickers and framed art in their bedroom that says their names with a creative design around their names on each side of their bedroom. Some other personlised wall stickers that the girls have mentioned in the past have been positive quotes and sayings. As an optimistic person, I would love to walk into their room and see a variety of positive phrases and quotes done in personalised wall art stickers. I believe the more positive you can have around your living space, the happier and more optimistic of a person you become. The options are endless with the option of creating your own …
