Oh what joy to be a mother. To hold a munchkin and kiss away their tears. To have sleepless nights soothing their aches. To have your title changed, your body shifted, your schedule reordered, your money prioritized in new ways. ❤️ There are so many places that talk about the early years - the joys of toddler-hood as they take wobbly steps and squeal with glee at dandelions. So many notes on those chubby hands that grab for yours. Sweet tributes to elementary children gaining knowledge and stepping into new adventures while still firmly holding onto you, onto home. ❤️ But then they become teenagers and middle schoolers. And the culture’s acceptable narrative is frustration and annoyance. Mocking notes of smelly feet and awkward bodies. ☀️ But it should not be. Because it is still an utter joy and delight to see them adventure and grow. To watch them become themselves and be a part of the process. To learn from them. ☀️ To DELIGHT in them. This weekend I had the completely overwhelming joy of working with my son. We hosted a 5 year old girl’s birthday party here at the farm, and the guest number needed 2 staff members on hand. ☀️ Landon was the one. I could not imagine being more thankful for or more proud of my son. And while it is acceptable to celebrate and praise our little ones - it just really isn’t the norm with our old kids. ❤️ But I don’t care that it isn’t the norm. ❤️ Because he was marvelous. And pure joy. 😊 And I am so thankful for him - and his sisters, and his friends - because I know that there are hard working people growing up right now. There are people delighting in the miracle of a dandelion and celebrating the ability to work. (And yes, those 2 things do relate to one another!) ❤️☀️ I want to hear the awesome shoutouts about YOUR PEOPLE!!! Tell me about their big heart, or their diligence, their attention to detail, their kindness, - because when we hunt for those things, we find them. #motherhood #parenthood #nohoodlikemotherhood #boymom #raisingadults #joyfull
Raising kids is probably the hardest, yet most rewarding job you will ever do. Between trying to teach them to be kind humans, and keeping them alive (we've got boys y'all, IYKYK 😂) - parenting is not for the weak. We always hear "it gets easier." I don't know if it gets easier, but rather we grow and adapt to all the new stages of parenthood. One way or another, we're all out here trying to do our best. If no one has told you today or ever... You are enough. 🤍 . . .

Having girlfriends that share the same struggles such as motherhood just hits different. We are able to talk mommy tips, the “oh hell no’s” and the are you f*cking kidding me moments. We laugh, we cry, we eat and sometimes drink but never have I left a mamas night unfulfilled. Cheers to making friends! I also love that I have met every single one of my close friends in this group! #friendships #mama #nohoodlikemotherhood #drinks #taco #laughs #storytime

In the past I have heard multiple talks that emphasize play and playing with our children. And I GET IT! Having fun with our kids is marvelous. Not seeing them as burdens but as gifts is pretty clutch. However, I think I would shift the focus ever so slightly. I would NOT encourage people to play. Or just be silly. Because not everyone naturally does life that way - I DO, but not everyone does! But I don’t just play or laugh or do silly things because of no reason. And I don’t think other people should lack intention either. I would say DON’T play - DELIGHT. Delight. Delighting in our children, in our homes, in our families - in our MISSIONS. Don’t just play - D E L I G H T. Delight in the tasks God has placed before you. Delight in the people He has brought in your life. Even (maybe especially?) in the hard. Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS, and again I say Rejoice!” Rejoice in the chaos, in the difficult, rejoice because God is good. And what we have He has given us. He promises to give us what we need - so what we have (however not what we want it is!) is what we need. Don’t just play and check the box and walk away to the “important” part of your day! Delight - delight in your day - show that you as mama believe God is good ALL THE TIME. And then watch the shift in your home and in your world. When we live in the Joy of our salvation - when we walk in the Joy of the Lord, we are actively causing a ruckus for the Devil to deal with. Joy and delight - IN YOUR FAMILY - Is an overt act of war against the lies and heaviness in this world. Oh taste and see that the Lord is GOOD! Psalm 34 Do I do this all the time? NOPE. I holler. I struggle. But I pray that God helps me to live a life delighting in where He has me and doing joyfully what he’s placed before me. Because I don’t want my children, my husband, (really anyone!), to see following Jesus as a misery. Because it isn’t. Because He IS Good!

Appreciation post : ‘Mum you go have a shower I’ll lay down with him and keep a eye on him’ how sweet is she.. ❤️ puts a lullaby on and slowly falls asleep next to him, this darling boy doesn’t have 1 mum he has 3 😂 me and his two older sisters. It’s the small things that have the biggest impact and make you so thankful. The kids all fight like cat & dog but when push comes to shove I know they all love each other and have each others back.

I was always terrified of being a single mom. I thought I couldn't do it on my own. Until I realized I had always done it on my own. From the beginning. The feedings, the bathes, the ups & downs, good cop/bad cop, played the role of daddy so he could rough house & be a boy. I was the fun & bad parent. • I thought he needed a family, a brother and/or sister to show him things & a man to help guide him in ways I maybe couldn't. Until I realized I was enough all along for him. I'm his family and he's my family. Neither of us ever needed anyone but each other. • Sometimes the things we think we lack or think we need aren't really any of those things other the world telling you how things should be or look. • Every family looks different & I'll never be anything but a package deal with my baby boy! He's my world, my #1, my family, my life & no one will ever come before Jaxson Avery. At the end of day all we need is each other's love & will can get through anything. • #dynamicduo #momandson #sonandmom #mom #son #momlife #sonlikemother #amotherslove #singlemomlife #singlemom #motherslove #nohoodlikemotherhood #family #justthwtwoofus

Hey, hey👋 I’m Sonya of @sleepbebesleep! My job is to help families get the sleep they deserve! But I’m not just all about sleep! I am also a partner and mom to an almost 5-year-old son and stepmom. Fun facts: - I am a middle child - I had my first grey hair at six years old - I am the same height as I was in sixth grade🙈 In my spare time, I love to cook & eat 😜, and spend time with my partner, family and friends. I also love to move my body and laugh. It’s important to me that I’m not JUST a Sleep Coach. Not JUST a mother. There’s a lot more about ME that I love, and it doesn’t involve sleep or family! What about you? Besides your role as a mother, what do you love to do? Or, what would you love to have time for one day? Leave it in the comments⤵️ I would love to know more about YOU!🥰 #canadianmom #monctonmom #firsttimemommy #firsttimemomma #childsleepcoach #babysleepcoach #childsleepconsultant #babysleepconsultant #sleeptraining #balancedlife #balancedlifestyle #balancedlifestyleliving #balancedmotherhood #exhaustedmommy #tiredmama #sleephelp #sleephelpbaby #babysleeptips #lovecooking #halifax #motherhoodcommunity #momlifeishard #tiredmumsclub #nohoodlikemotherhood #normalizeinfantsleep #certifiedsleepconsultant #babysleeptraining #bedtimeroutine #bedtimebattles #babynaptime

Your little bundle of joy is on a whole new adventure in the outside world! Imagine the shift from the snug womb to all the new sights and sounds, it's a significant change. They might not fully grasp the care and feedings just yet, but with time, they start dropping hints—little cues for when they're happy, sleepy, or tired. So, the next time you're curious about your newborn, remember, they're still adjusting to life outside the womb. Give them some extra love and understanding.❤️

Not gon’ lie. Had a snotty cry this morning when I realised it’s been 10 years since the girl who made me a mother, was scooped up out of the water and placed into my arms and I wailed “I don’t know how to hold her!” Everything I thought and believed about motherhood, parenting, raising girls - and even feminism, the patriarchy, and gender roles - has been flipped out onto the table, jumbled up, studied, and rebuilt from scratch, beginning on this day 10 years ago. Double digits. You guuuuuyyys I have a TWEEN 😳

Have you felt this before?? 《 sometimes working feels far easier than parenting 》 You know those days where you wake up & decide it's easier to pop the kids in front of their devices & work rather than go out for the day with kids, because of all the things they need?! The beach. The beach tent. Two changes of clothes. *snacks* & more snacks. Water bottles. Nappies. Hats. Goggles. Beach toys. + everrrrything else. Then you arrive & someone needs to 💩 And there's no toilet. Then you're out of snacks. And the water runs out. And so on. And even the thought of a beach day with kids sometimes feels really bloody overwhelming! Resonant? But amongst the overwhelm you acknowledge that you have some stuff coming up within you. You pause. Allow space between the thoughts. And in that moment of pause... You decide. Remember to breathe. Allow the overwhelm to consume you or remember what you value. You surrender. And focus on one foot in front of the other rather than the sheer amount of 'stuff' you need to do to get there. Embrace the messiness, the uncertainty. And trust it will all work out. You go on to tackle snack bish like a boss & end up having a wonderful day. Glad you didn't choose the screens over creating memories (even if they weren't insta worthy perfect). Today was one of those days.
Just wanted to drop a little note of love and understanding your way as the new year unfolds.✨
Happy birthday to this little one. I almost can't call her that anymore. She's only 5, and I can tell my days of being able to pick her up are numbered! Being a 5 foot tall mom will do that to you! ●Her favorite colors are pink and yellow. ●Her favorite animals are unicorns, narwhales, and hippos! ●She loves preschool! ●She loves to sing and talk (nonstop) ●Her favorite foods are bacon, chocolate, Old McDonald's, broccoli cheese soup, potatoes, chicken pot pie, and green apple juice. ●Her favorite movies are The Little Mermaid and Alice and Wonderland. ●Her favorite song is "Part of Your World" ●Her favorite thing to do is color! . . . . #helloartistcreative #christmasbirthday #christmaseve2023 #kaylisueandcrew #delight_in_childhood #bee_joyful #addiesue #momtogcollective #nohoodlikemotherhood #photomoms_pro #one_magic_moment #lensloveandbeyond #stunning_childhood #magic_in_the_details #bicfp #follow_this_light #galleryoflightfeature #kidsphoto #letthekids #littlefierceones #memoirs_of_childhood #napcp #therootedchild #theeverydayportrait #ShareYourLoveHub #the_sugar_jar #kidsinmyworld #wildchildmoment #thesincerestoryteller #theartofchildhood

Embracing the journey of childbirth in December brings its own set of challenges – from braving the cold winds to handling temperature drops and transportation hurdles. 😮💨 If you're anticipating the arrival of your little one this December, dive into this post for essential tips to make the experience smoother and more comfortable.✨🎄
Here is something no one tells you about motherhood….. When you birth your first baby, you also birth a new version of yourself. Just like them, we are learning every. single. day. There are no instructions for your child and their unique needs. It’s our privilege (and responsibility) to get to know them and figure it out as we go. This includes incredible moments where you will surprise yourself with your intuitive wisdom and unconditional love. It will also include moments that make you feel like you are failing and leave you feeling disappointed in yourself. Do me a favor…… Show yourself the same unconditional love and patience that you give to them. In turn, show them that real love and understanding starts from within ❤️ #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #nohoodlikemotherhood #raisingwomen #strongwomen #mayweraisethem #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #girlmomlife #maroonbells

To the Mummas and puppas who are getting their juggle on.I see you, hear you and feel you. Some days can go so smoothly and others...🫠! . It's a wild bender that seems to never end. The most beautifully, chaotic and sometimes brutal stage we will journey through. Although it is sometimes blinded by the busyness and STUFF we feel we have to be and do to feel like we are not failing. Or the feeling of "am I doing or being enough?" The pressure of todays society is F'd!!! It's easy to fall in the trap. . If you are showing up, giving time, love and care. You are killing it. It's so easy to get caught up in all the STUFF and forget the simplicity. They just want us. Our cuddles, connection and wisdom. . Today, when you're juggling the parenthood gig, remember we are all here doing our best with what we got. We are not alone. We are all learning and juggling this chapter together. reach out, check in and spread the 🤍. . It's a wild ride✌️. #nohoodlikemotherhood #wildride #mumlife #mumma #connection #showingup #time #love #whatmattersmost

Illness affects sleep. The first 24-48 hours are likely to be the most affected. Fevers, coughs, colds and even immunisations can cause our little ones to become restless and wake more frequently in the night. We all have sleepless nights when our children are unwell. It can feel really tough at the time. Sometimes we feel unsure on what to do and what not to do. If your little one sleeps well on the whole it’s important not to change their sleep habits when they become unwell. Ask yourself if the change you’re making is one you’d be happy to live with on a longer term. If the answer is no, then don’t do it in the short term. Here are some tips to help you feel confident around managing your baby’s sleep when they are unwell. ☁️ you can provide pain relief if needed ☁️ you can use age appropriate cold/cough remedies ☁️ to help your baby breathe you can elevate one side of the cot bed. If your child is over 12 months of age you can provide a toddler pillow ☁️ you can provide extra reassurance ☁️ try not to change where your little one sleeps. ☁️ If your little one is resisting you leaving them stay with them until they are sleepy and then leave allowing them to do the last part of the settle themselves ☁️ you can camp out in their room if you’re worried about them Remember we all have a few rough nights sleep when our children fall ill. It’s unavoidable. But it also won’t last. If you can keep to your usual routine and settling methods you won’t have any work to do to ‘get back on track’ after your little one is feeling bright and cheerful again. It’s cosy season and flu season. Save this as a reminder 💜 . . . . #mumlife #motherhood #postpartum #maternity #parenting #newparents #newborn #newbornsleep #sleepconsultant #babysleep #sleepcoach #sleepsuccess #sleeptraining #firsttimeparents #toddlersleep #tiredmama #sleepdeprived #sleepdeprivation #gentleparenting #babysleepexpert #parenting101 #postpartum #postpartumsupport #mamaselfcare #parenthoodunplugged #parentingstruggles #parenting101 #nohoodlikemotherhood #mumofgirls #silverlining
Oh Baby-Lou💙 Die erste Kita-Woche. Wie konnte das so schnell gehen. Wie bist du über Nacht so groß geworden? Irgendwie war diese Woche total verrückt. Seit Monaten weinst du jeden Morgen weil du mit den Mädels zur Schule&Kita gehen wolltest. Und jetzt ziehst du plötzlich deinen Rucksack an und es ist soweit. Du hast so viel Lust darauf. Bist so stolz auf deine eigene Brotbox und fragst mich auf dem Weg mindestens dreimal ob ich deine Tasche dabei habe. Ich freue mich so für dich. Auf viele neue Abenteuer, auf neue Freunde und unendlich viel Spaß. Und dabei bin ich grade so überfordert. 9 Jahre bin ich Mama, ich hatte immer ein Kind zuhause oder habe gearbeitet. Nie hatte ich Zeit alleine, nur für mich. Und grade weiß ich noch gar nicht so genau was ich jetzt machen soll. Fühlt sich irgendwie seltsam an. Dabei freue ich mich auf Sport machen am Vormittag, nicht in der Nacht, ich würde gerne wieder schwimmen gehen, mit meinen Freunden in Ruhe frühstücken und quatschen,in die Stadt fahren& ganz vielleicht wünsche ich mir noch ein Tattoo 🍀❤️✌🏽 #nohoodlikemotherhood #momgoals #momofthree #momlife #Fitness #mom #Kita #elternzeit #Sport #sportaddicted #fitnessmotovation #Tattoo #newchapter #newgoals

Instagram grid - it’s been a minute. 👋🏼 Currently in my “this shit is HARD” era 😮💨 Some days I swear I’ll give up. Some days I swear I’ll never give up. Some days I just swear. But every day I keep going 🫶🏻 Shoutout to everyone lost in life & parenthood right now - I see you 🤍 . . . . . #thisshitishard #lifelessons #healing #workinghard #keepinggoing #motherhood #nohoodlikemotherhood #staystrong #mindsetmatters #iseeyou #youarenotalone
I’m gonna toot my own horn for a moment, because I’m so freaking proud of myself! I still have 23 books to read/listen to before the year is out. But the fact that I am more than 3/4 to my goal and on track to finish by the end of the year is pretty amazing. For the first time since having kids I am finally able to pick up an interest that I love and get to do it consistently. #readinggoal #goodreadschallenge #100booksinayear #settinggoals #crushingit #findingmyselfagain #nohoodlikemotherhood #onebookatatime📚
