Happy New Year everyone! Over the holiday break, we visited our family in Orlando and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to visit Disney World for the first time with our 2-year old toddler. It was exhausting to say the least, but we had a blast! We made...

As moms, it’s so crucial that we are taking care of ourselves just as much as we take care of our family. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not great at this. Once I became a mom, prioritizing self-care went to the bottom of the totem pole. I stopped working out. I...

Being a full-time mom is filled with so much joy, love and excitement. But it’s also a time when moms may feel the most lonely. There are so many paradoxes in motherhood. If it’s one thing I’ve learned from being a mom, it’s that you can feel two different things at...

Bedtime for toddlers can often be a challenging battleground, leaving both parents and little ones frazzled. The transition from playtime to sleep can trigger meltdowns, creating stress and disrupting the bedtime routine. However, there are tools that can help...

The holiday season is a special time, and for first-time moms, it marks a unique moment in their journey into motherhood. While the joy of having a newborn is unparalleled, navigating the challenges of motherhood can be overwhelming. This holiday season, show the...

Holidays are filled with so much joy and gathering. It feels even more joyful with a little one in the family to spend it with. Yet, holidays are the most stressful times of the year, especially for moms. As a mom, I now feel the pressure (that I put on myself) and...

In a few weeks, it will be one year since I’ve become a stay-at-home mom and I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting. This past year has been the most growth I’ve experienced and also the most challenge, mentally and emotionally. For the first few months, I felt like this...

It’s starting to feel like rainy season in San Francisco and with the recent Daylight Savings time change, it now gets dark out by 5pm. 😟 This didn’t mean much to me before life with kids. But now, with a 2-year old rambunctious toddler in our lives, a rainy day and...

The one thing I did not mentally prepare for before having our son was the strain it would have on my relationship with my in-laws. Relationships with in-laws is tricky enough without kids in the picture. Once you add kids into the mix, it gets even messier. Since...

I recently completed a values exercise with my Coach and surprisingly found that my values haven’t changed all that much since becoming a mom. My values are still firmly rooted in family, growth, and adventure. While my values haven’t changed much, my perspectives and...

It’s been 18 months since our son was born. Like someone once told me, the days feel long but the months fly by fast. I cannot believe our son is already 18 months. I still remember the night we brought him home from the hospital as if it were yesterday, how he...

I get a slight panic at the thought of traveling with our toddler. Even just planning a trip makes me nervous. Our toddler does not sleep well on the go ever since we’ve trained him to sleep in his crib. He doesn’t like to sit still so long roadtrips are out of the...
