Being A Mom

Celebrations, Lifestyle, Mom Life, Mother's Day

I’m a mom.

Recap of favorite photos of being a mom these last 3 years. #mothersday | spotofteadesigns.com

I’m a mom. I want my kids to learn how to fall asleep on their own but also secretly love them falling asleep on me.

I’m a mom. I love the small times when someone offers to take a picture of our cute family so I can be IN the photo.

I’m a mom. I often rock the mom bun and yoga pants but love those times when I can dry my hair straight and wear nicer clothes.

I’m a mom. I’m amazed at what our bodies can do to house those little growing peanuts for 9 months and how they can (somewhat) go back to their own shape.

I’m a mom. I love to see my girls have their own thoughts and independence. But I also enjoy when they copy me and they act like a mini me.

I’m a mom. I now have new perspectives and struggle with the direction on how to lead. I understand why my mom wanted my sister to play with me as it’s so cute to see them interact together. But as a big sister myself, I also see Brielle’s side in wanting to do her own thing without her little sister tagging along.


Recap of favorite photos of being a mom these last 3 years. #mothersday | spotofteadesigns.com

I’m a mom. I never knew how much I could do with what I had and how much I could live without. I never knew how much weight I could carry when toting around my two girls at the same time. I never knew how much I could do one handed. I never knew how much empowering it can be to see your child grow solely on the milk your own body provides. I also never knew how much I could accomplish on very limited sleep.

I’m a mom. When pregnant it was fun to feel them inside but by the end I couldn’t wait to get them out. Then once they’re out I end up wearing them like an external womb.

I’m a mom. I want to teach them fun things and love watching them learn.

I’m happy to be a mom to these two little girls!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms, Grandmas, Mom-to-bes, and those who are working to one day hope to be!

If yesterday proved anything, it's that girls can If yesterday proved anything, it's that girls can do anything including being Vice President or an AWESOME poet and speaker! Girls can also like science too, which is why I designed these "Great Chemistry" tags for Valentine's day in gender neutral colors for anyone to pass out this February.

#ad Last year was tough for so many reasons, but o #ad Last year was tough for so many reasons, but one of the bright spots for us was the first year of our backyard garden! We’d call my mom on video chat for advice, took turns watering and weeding it, and eventually enjoyed all the vegetables, herbs and flowers for months. 
.
We’re currently planning ahead for this year’s garden which involves sporting our mask whenever researching plant choices. I'm partnering with @choosenewjersey to remind you to #maskupnj and social distance yourselves when you’re not staying home.

Things are changing daily in our state, but you can keep yourself informed with the latest updates on COVID by visiting https://covid19.nj.gov and downloading the free app for info on symptoms and exposure notification.

Do you have any suggestions on easy to maintain plants for our garden?
