Beautiful day to celebrate people we love. 🌸💕🥂
Nothing better than baby giggles.

“It takes a village to raise a child” It DOESN’T take a village to raise a child. It takes a village to SUPPORT THE MOTHER! When the MOTHER is held and cared for, then SHE has the full capacity to hold and care for HER baby. Mothers can raise their children just fine but they need hands there to help in the ways she needs support in. Who is filling the mother’s cup? When the mother’s cup is full she then has the ability to fully fill her children’s cups. ❌Mothers don’t need you invading their sacred space within a week of giving birth with your expectation to take their new baby from their arms and feeling entitled to her standing in her own kitchen body aching to make you coffee as she still bleeds. ✅Mothers do need you to do their dishes as she rests and a meal dropped off as she holds and bonds with her baby. ❌Mothers don’t need you to take their kids so they can go do a thousand things and a bunch of errands. ✅Mothers need you to come over and help with the laundry while their kids nap. What’s your thoughts? In what areas of your life could a village best support YOU? #ittakesavillagetoraiseachild #ittakesavillage #village #community #momshelpingmoms #momshelpmoms #postpartumsupport #mother #mothers #motherhood #mothering #wildmotherhood #momstruggles

I became a mother LĀSMA POIŠA - 8th March -19th May Went to see this fabulous exhibition today at Warrington Art Gallery and Museum, UK. If your North of England based I highly recommend a visit. "Since becoming a parent in early 2022, my work has been exploring the themes of birth and motherhood through personal reflections. I turned to this subject because photographing my daughter became the only opportunity for a creative output during this time. However, the work soon transcended the immediate function of the family album revealing lesser-known sides of mothering." @lasmapoisa https://wmag.culturewarrington.org/visit-us/ #matresence #artistmother #artistmotherco #maternalart #lāsmapoiša #maternalbody #pregnancy #birth #mothering #motherhood #embodiment

Learning to set boundaries with anyone can be hard. Learning to set them with your own parents can be an added struggle. Can you relate? If so we have 3 steps to help you set healthy boundaries with your own parents today: 1. Determine the values that are most important to you. This will help you identify which boundaries to set. For example, "I value my baby's emotional safety." 2. Communicate these values with your parents and how you will uphold them. Example, "It is important to us that we label feelings and validate our baby's feelings when they cry, are upset, etc. so we will be doing this when baby cries and we ask that you please do the same." 3. Give yourself permission to hold these boundaries. Process any guilt that you feel around this. Maybe it has never felt safe or ok to have needs or to set boundaries with your parents so it feels "wrong" to do this. You may need time to challenge this and reframe it. What's the most challenging boundary you have had to set with your parents or in-laws? #childhoodwounds #settingboundaries #reparenting #healingyourself #honestlymothering #honestmom #honestdad #lifeasmama #dadlife #maternalhealth #maternalmhmatters #messy_motherhood #mindfulmama #momcommunity #momlifebelike #momlifeishard #momlifeunfiltered #newparentstruggles #momminainteasy #mommycommunity #mommymoments #momstruggles #couplesstruggles #momsupportingmoms #motherhoodjourney #mothering #postpartumsupport #realmotherhood #survivingmotherhood #thatmomlife

Want to know how I dealt with the job I hated? 🫢 I worked on my business, when I wasn't in the office, so I could plan to quit! 😅 And how much time did I spend on it? Literally, an hour or two a day... It's nothing. And I still had time to watch my favourite programme after or go to the gym at the weekend or see my family and friends. Sacrificing a couple of hours a day doesn't necessarily mean you have to sacrifice ALL of your time but, let's be clear, the more time you put into your business, the more you get out of it, so prioritising your time is key!! Would I change anything? Absolutely not! This is my business, my third baby, and i will nurture it as much as I can because the rewards will last a lifetime 🤩 #mumsofinstagram #mumlife #workingmum #workingmumlife #corporatemum #workingmom #workingmumlifebalance #motherhood #mumssupportingmums #modernmum #millenialmum #honestmotherhood #realmumlife #imamum #mummy #mums #affiliatemarketing #diaryofamum #mother #mothering #worksmarternotharder #mumofboys #mumpreneur #reels #trending #easterfun #bossparents

NewBaby101 p93: Humans have evolved over many thousands of years and in spite of very recent technological developments the biological foundations of conception, birth and nurture of babies are still exquisitely embedded in human instincts. Our babies are "hardwired" to be close to their mothers and to demonstrate their needs with non-verbal signals which attentive parents recognise and respond to accordingly. Parents are swimming against the tide of human DNA when they try to manipulate their baby's natural instinctive behaviours to fit the western world's demands about feeding and sleep. Yes, we live in a modern sophisticated environment, but a human's biological functioning is the same as it was a hundred, or a thousand years ago, or more.

We've met so many mamas in the work that we do that are struggling with irritability. And although there can be several reasons why a mom is experiencing this, if she's not getting sleep, it's likely a HUGE contributor to her mood. Sleep impacts our mood in health in a significant way. Telling ourselves that we just need to "try harder" or suck it up because it will get better soon, doesn't actually help. Instead, leaning into... right now I'm not getting much sleep... what do I need to be okay right now? Maybe it's doing less, prioritizing rests when you can, asking family and friends for more support while you go through this, etc. Looking for more support with managing feelings of irritability or overwhelm? Comment MEMBERSHIP to get the tools you need to manage this and so much more! We help take mamas from overwhelmed to confident! ❤️🙌🏽 #4thtrimester #anxiety #postpartumdepression #anxietysucks #baby #fourthtrimester #honestlymothering #honestmom #lifeasmama #makingovermotherhood #maternalhealth #maternalmhmatters #messy_motherhood #mindfulmama #momcommunity #momlifebelike #momlifeishard #momlifeunfiltered #mommemes #momminainteasy #mommycommunity #mommymoments #momstruggles #momsunite #momsupportingmoms #motherhoodjourney #mothering #postpartumsupport #realmotherhood #survivingmotherhood

Oof. So much to relate to here. I'm sure there are folks who would look at the actions of the main character as awful and selfish. Sometimes (often) women get pushed too far and it's only the extreme that breaks thru and shakes up those who are taking them for granted. It's important to carve out time to take care of yourself, but I'm our busy, non-stop, high pressure world... Easier said than done. This book was an escape and a reminder. #leaveme #leavemebook #gayleforman #moms #mom #family #pressure #toomuch #selfcare #mothering #takecareofyourself #takecare #escape #getaway #health #healthissues #heartattack

Surprise! I’ve been focusing on life + my family these last few months, but finally feel ready to share the happy news 🥰 We’re expecting another bundle of joy this August! Life has been very life-y lately with being pregnant, taking care of a toddler, working, and moving to a new city 😅 But life is finally starting to settle into a new normal and I’ve been missing my motherhood family! I’m not sure how much I’ll be showing up on here because my family takes priority of my (dwindling 😅) energy, and to be honest sometimes I need to process in real time first before I feel ready to share - there’s a reason I didn’t start this account until my son was 2 because it took me about that long to come out of the new mom fog 😅 But I know that showing up on here honestly, sharing about the transition of motherhood, and creating this community has been immensely helpful in making me feel less alone in motherhood, so I hope to keep you all along for the ride! Here we go again! 🫣😆 #pregnancy #pregnancyannouncement #pregnancyannouncements #6monthspregnant #newlifemotherhood #motherhood #mothering #communityofmoms #encouragingmoms #highachievingwomen #momlife #highachievingmoms

It’s no secret that "mumming around" can be overwhelming. Exhaustion, anxiety, mum guilt and fear can all come into play alongside the love and desire to mum around really well. If this resonates, this book is for you. - #motherhood #mothering #amwriting #amreading #indieauthor #authorgram #authorlife #writingadvice #writingcommunity #mums #mumsofinstagram
When you share your story you are sharing part of you... most likely your heart. Especially if you're sharing as a mother. This is both challenging and rewarding. It's hard to put your heart out there. It's hard to share parts of you that are special. What if someone judges you? What if someone doesn't like your story? These are thoughts that swirl around in your mind. But... what if someone sees themselves in your story? What if someone finds strength and hope in your story? What if someone's life changes because of your story? Those odds are worth it to me. Share your story is more than just your story. Will someone not like your story, yup. But could someone be so moved by your story that it changes them for the better, also yup. And that's worth it! So, let's keep sharing our stories and so we can connect and celebrate each other and all that it means to be a mother. Stick around to learn more about telling your story.💛

Yesterday’s Masterclass with Wise Elder Barbara Essman is one to sit down and listen to, especially if you’re considering parenthood in this lifetime, or are already on your journey towards birth. Through the telling of her own birth story, Barbara carefully illuminated the way in which our own births continue to be re-told throughout our lives and show up in all the ways we experience life. She hones in on the opportunity we have to re-write these stories for ourselves as well as our children… and how we can welcome babies with love and respect from the very beginning. “When we do this work, we heal 7 generations back and 7 generations forward”. B.E Barbara also shared an amazing suggested reading list with us, to learn more about everything healing birth and pre- birth imprints and how our experiences from conception to birth influence our experience of life. Comment 🙌🏽 below and I’ll send it directly to your inbox. Want to learn more and discover how you can begin to heal and rewrite your own birth? I’d love to chat with you. Book a free consultation via the link in bio. Replay of yesterday’s class is also in the bio!

This came to me, as I was jogging today (yep still doing that - told you once I start something I will commit 100%, that’s my Pitta dosha showing up strong) Back to the subject at hand, on my route I passed a woman close to my age, perhaps younger, whom sat in what looked like her PJ’s, with her jacket hood up, knees up. The part that struck me most was that her back was to the sun, and since we are now in spring and sunshine is what we are all longing for and turning to I thought, somethings not right there. I contemplated asking her if she was alright, and then thought, no way she’s gonna think I’m nuts. Such is our world today we are so disconnected from each other, so isolated in our own universe yet so connected at the same time. I know this concept is far from new, and I’ve discussed it here before in relation to the loneliness being highest mortality rates above others. As I kept running I thought, well who is going to check in on her, where is her community, her social network? Her village? Infact, this is a topic that I’m working on with @adinabelloli (details on this coming soon) it brewed further in my mind and I wanted to get you thinking too. What if we were to reach out with small acts of kindness, creating connections to people to help them feel less alone? I think of this a lot in relation to mothers, and parents whom have this huge responsibility of parenting where so much can be had from a village where a child can gain so much from the relationship with people that are not their parents, role models and friends that can have a huge positive impact on the mental and physical wellbeing of the child. Also I believe so much of the overwhelm / anxiety / worry mothers feel after birth is a lack of social network, the village. In ending, I do wonder if I could have made a difference to the lady sitting on the bench with her knees and hood up facing away from the sun - what if one act of kindness by asking her if she was ok, by acknowledging her body language as not ok, making her feel seen and valuable enough to check in on? see comments...
This is definitely not an exhaustive list 😂 But here are 3 things that we mothers need when transitioning from maiden to mother and as we continue on our motherhood journey. 1. Spaciousness Spaciousness is not just about time to ourselves, though some time here and there is beneficial. It also relates to a slower pace so that we can be aware and attune to the changes that we are undergoing as a woman. This awareness can lead to a smoother transition not just when we become a mother but as we journey through the many challenges that motherhood brings with it. Spaciousness is a gentle and subtle moment to moment allowing of what is in the here and now. 2. Village We’ve all heard the term it takes a village to raise a child. Your village can include your partner, parents, family, friends, neighbours and social networks or groups. Support helps us better take care of ourselves. It allows us to shower, feed ourselves when we need to and feel safe in talking about our challenges and fears. Asking for help or knowing where to find support can sometimes be the most difficult part. 3. Nature Being out in nature has proven to improve mental health and well-being. Not only does it drive us to move our bodies, which is also extremely beneficial, it allows us to plug into another source of energy. This plugging in energises us when we feel exhausted, helps to bring balance to our nervous system when we are feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed, reduces stress and allows us to immerse ourselves in a world is sensory activation which promotes relaxation and mindfulness. It gives us time away from screens (if we put our phones away) and bonding time with our children. It also helps us mothers and our children sleep better. 🩷🩷🩷 • • • • #somaticguide #somaticawareness #motherhood #selfcare #somaticinquiry #mindbody #mindfulnessformothers #mothers #mumlife #maidentomother #sw19 #wimbledonmums #wimbledon #selfcareformothers #selfcompassionformothers #mentalhealthformums #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #mothering #mindfulmother #embodiedmother #mumcoach #nurturethemothers #embodiedmotherembodiedchild

And here we are at the lucky last! The fifth and final need for postpartum women. Connection to nature I’ve just had a baby - girl hit do I need to spend time with a tree??? 🤪 Nature is so powerful for our physical, emotional and social health and wellbeing. And we even have research now showing how helpful it is to mothers - newborn and later stages of the mothering journey. Nature provides accessible support for our nervous system - in additional to the touch and connection to wise women that hopefully we are also receiving. It provides cues of calm and safety, and make a big difference to how we feel and respond to the world around us. I love how nature connects us to rhythms. It gives context to the different seasons we experience through mothering and our menstrual cycle - and reminds us that things will shift and change. Nature also creates opportunity for us to shift up the environment around us and move to a different location, something that can be equally helpful for mums and babies. The earth also has a grounding presence that can anchor us as we navigate the unknown and liminal spaces of postpartum. Nature reminds us we are part of something bigger than ourselves, and that in fact we are nature too. Did nature support you through postpartum? Or how could you consciously bring it in as you plan for an unexpected coming mother transition? #WomensHealth #OccupationalTherapy #OccupationalTherapyInWomensHealth #MaternalHealth #Pregnancy #Birth #PostpartumRecovery #PostPartumCare #Mothering #MentalHealth #PelvicHealth #MenstrualCycles #ArvigoTherapy #HolisticPelvicCare #BirthHealing #SunshineCoast #Melbourne #Wollongong #TheWildOrangeTree #Nature
I brought this book with me on my trip to visit my grandma but haven't read a page since I got here! She comes with me on all my food adventures and we spend a lot of time watching Chinese shows together. She is 100 years young and was my first caretaker/mom! I can't wait to read this one! 📙 [Orange book emoji] Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer black feminists of the 1970s and '80s, Revolutionary Mothering places marginalized mothers of color at the center of a world of necessary transformation. The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender, and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist, and queer liberation are the same challenges that many mothers face every day. Oppressed mothers create a generous space for life in the face of life-threatening limits, activate a powerful vision of the future while navigating tangible concerns in the present, move beyond individual narratives of choice toward collective solutions, live for more than ourselves, and remain accountable to a future that we cannot always see. Revolutionary Mothering is a movement-shifting anthology committed to birthing new worlds, full of faith and hope for what we can raise up together. Contributors include June Jordan, Malkia A. Cyril, Esteli Juarez, Cynthia Dewi Oka, Fabiola Sandoval, Sumayyah Talibah, Victoria Law, Tara Villalba, Lola Mondragón, Christy NaMee Eriksen, Norma Angelica Marrun, Vivian Chin, Rachel Broadwater, Autumn Brown, Layne Russell, Noemi Martinez, Katie Kaput, alba onofrio, Gabriela Sandoval, Cheryl Boyce Taylor, Ariel Gore, Claire Barrera, Lisa Factora-Borchers, Fabielle Georges, H.

Do your children have a hard time getting up in the morning?

The concept behind this logomark has been about finding our Life source in the SON. Connecting to the Light and flourishing in our role as a mother. We find ourselves drawn to this language of Flourishing and Blooming in motherhood, but what do we actually need in order to accomplish that? We need to be fed and we need light. All the #selfcare spa days and girls nights in the world won't equip us to face the long and often lonely days with these tiny people we most love, but who, in many cases, see the worst side of us. These hard days can leave us feeling like we've failed or like we are not enough for this sacred role. It's true, we are not enough —not without the help and the daily nourishment of our Creator. "For the wellspring of life is with you. By means of your light we see light." -Psalms 36:9 CSB #motherhood #raisingarrows #raisinglittles #mother #mothering #momlife #purposedriven
My aim is to speak to mothers in the thick of it, that need to be celebrated and need hopeful, Christ-centered messaging for daily life, when it starts to feel mundane, lonely and overwhelming... because I AM THAT MOM! #motherhood #raisinglittles #raisingarrows #intentionalmom #mother #mothering #momlife
Hello mama, I'm so glad you found your way to my little corner of Instagram. My hope is that my content helps you feel motivated and empowered to embrace this season of motherhood, knowing you were created for this and called to step fully into the role of Nurturer because of the One who has equipped you for it!

. E allora chi è la madre? Colei che porta con sé la matrice da cui è stata informata lei stessa, e che a sua volta informerà la nuova vita. Colei che contiene, protegge, che talvolta nasconde, o che è già nel tempo di mostrarsi piena, completa, rotonda, gravida, lunare. Colei che contiene le acque e le onde, lei sola che è passaggio a questa vita terrena. Colei che si è lasciata tutto alle spalle per portare avanti la visione della Vita. Con l'augurio che l'umanità si riprenda questo tempo potente che porta con sé trasformazione, consapevolezza, intuito, risveglio. Una madre alla volta, una nascita alla volta, un bambino alla volta. Chi è la Madre? Una piccola riflessione sulla Madre, colei che porta avanti la visione del mondo. Come possiamo alleviare la sofferenza delle Madri che stanno continuando a dare la Vita per noi tutti? Come possiamo anche solo avere la presunzione di poter volgere il nostro sguardo altrove da questo ritratto di Vita che chiede di essere visto, accolto, preso per mano e accompagnato verso il calore di un posto sicuro? Con quale arroganza ci permettiamo di separare la Madre dall'umanità che ci ha donato mettendo la propria salvezza a rischio? #savegaza #savechildrenofgaza #mothersagainstgenocide #adoulaforpalestine #doula #doulalife #mothering #breastfeeding #gentleparenting #montessori #gentlebirth #birthkeeper #homebirth #babywearing #gaza #palestine #freedom #love #life #friendship #pancake #midwife #family #familytime #twins
La famiglia di Saeed è composta da 6 adulti e 3 bambini. Ci sono i due genitori anziani, tre figli maschi tra cui Saeed che è sposato e ha questi 3 meravigliosi bambini, di cui l'ultimo di un mese di vita nato sotto le bombe. Sono scampati alla morte più volte scappando da un posto all'altro dall'inizio dei bombardamenti, le loro case distrutte, il lavoro perso e con esso ogni possibilità di avere un introito economico di qualche tipo da 6 mesi. Questa è la storia di praticamente tutte le famiglie della Striscia. Cosa possiamo fare noi? Donare anche piccole cifre e far girare più che possiamo. Redistribuire la nostra ricchezza a chi in questo momento sta affrontando da 6 mesi giorno e notte continui bombardamenti. Questa famiglia sta cercando di evacuare in Egitto dove si trova la sorella @ashidina che mi ha contattata tempo fa per aiutare la famiglia rimasta a Gaza. C'è poco altro da dire. Non siate timidi, donate, fate girare, donate, fate girare, donate, fate girare. #adoulaforpalestine #mothersagainstgenocide Trovate il loro gofundme nel profilo di @hamoda_ashi . #savegaza #savechildrenofgaza #mothersagainstgenocide #adoulaforpalestine #doula #doulalife #mothering #breastfeeding #gentleparenting #montessori #gentlebirth #birthkeeper #homebirth #babywearing #gaza #palestine #freedom #love #life #friendship #pancake #midwife #family #familytime #twins
