Are You a Millennial Mom? | Define Millennial | Millennial Definition | Characteristics of a Millennial Mom

Are You a Millennial Mom? Our generation is raising kids differently. A big part of that is because we are faced with many situations that our parents weren’t. I can’t remember the first time I heard the term “millennial mom” or “millennial.” To be honest, I didn’t actually think the term applied to me. I thought it was the generation after me. What I do remember is that I didn’t care for it. Something about it rubbed me the wrong way and I wasn’t sure why. (I’ll explain more on this later). What I do know is that other mom’s similar to …

Letting Your Child Go

by Meghan August 27, 2018August 29, 2018

Letting Your Child Go – To the Mom Who is Struggling with Sending Their First Kid to School I knew this day would come at some point. The day where you hold your child’s hand, walk them to class and then walk away. I just never imagined it would come so fast. As I get ready to send my oldest daughter to preschool for the first time, I am consumed with emotions. I always pictured that it would be her crying, not wanting me to leave or begging me to stay at school with her but nope! Not my daughter. …

A Mom’s Battle with Anxiety – Wearing Two Masks

by Meghan July 10, 2018March 11, 2020

My Battle with Anxiety Anxiety – it’s a word I never truly understood until just within the last couple years. We use the word so often in day-to-day situations when we just feel stressed or impatient. However, true anxiety can be debilitating. My battle with it started at a very young age but got much worse after having children. Google’s definition of anxiety is: “a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.” That still doesn’t even come close to expressing the true feelings and symptoms associated with full blown anxiety. …

NEW BABY ESSENTIALS – THE BARE MINIMUM (Everything you need and the things you don’t!)

When you go to start a registry, it can be incredibly overwhelming! There are a million baby products on the market right now and for new parents, creating a registry can be very stressful.

by Meghan June 7, 2018October 1, 2019

Here is what my baby’s schedule looks like right now. It took forever to get some consistency in our day but we are getting there, slowly but surely! 🙂 I can’t believe baby Stella is getting close to eight months old! I know everyone says it, but time really does fly. If you’ve been following along with my blog, you know that we’ve had a rough start with baby Stella. First, right after she was born, I just couldn’t bond with her. I had a tough time clicking with her and part of that was due to her acid reflux. …
