    My Insta – Life
    • Perspective is powerful. I say this often because it’s so true. I had three kids and often felt like I was drowning. Drowning in guilt because I wasn’t enough for them- they must have wanted their biological mother more than me. Then that passed. Then I had my own baby and I remember thinking how will I survive this exhaustion? And I had guilt because my love for her must have seemed greater. Then that passed. Now I have guilt because I work so much and they’re left to their own devices for a chunk of the day. Will it pass? I’ve started to realize that most of my troubles are through my eyes, created in my head. Not less real, but a singular perspective. If I sit down and slow down and look at life through my children’s eyes things are very different. If I really look at it through there eyes I think, I hope, my children will remember someday that I was always there for them. Imperfect, yes. At times exhausted, yes. Hard working, yes. But present. What guilt or struggle are you dealing with currently? Could a shift in your perspective help? Slow down a little, take a breath and evaluate. Or share below, let us help with your perspective shift!

    • It’s time for you to not only reach your dreams but to stop the asshaatery (my word) and join my private group with like minded Mamas. - www.facebook.com/groups/mompurpose/
    • Ej: “wait, it’s Mother’s Day?! Daddy: “yep” EJ: “so you guys are going on a date?” Daddy: “no, you gotta take care of momma; brush her hair and give her a bath...” EJ: “I’m stinky, can I take a bath?” *five minutes later* EJ: “Momma, I’m hungry can I have some of your food?” . Nobody ever prepares you for how much food your children will take from you. . But, also nobody can ever quite convey that the very best things about motherhood are the very very small, almost undetectable moments. The moments when your kids, start to become the kind of humans you hope they will. . There are SO many moments of question and frustration and fear. But if you pay attention you catch those smaller moments. And in those moments it’s a reminder that all those little lessons that you are constantly instilling, are working. . I’m immensely proud to be my kids momma. I’m so proud of what they have overcome. So proud of the thoughtful, compassionate, strong, sarcastic kids they’re becoming. . It’s hard yes, it’s all hard if you look at it that way. But it’s also worth it. Today there will be many of those small moments. Watch for them Mommas! Happy Mother’s Day. You are loved. #mothersday #happymothersday #fullheart
    • Homemade Folar da Pascoa (Portuguese Easter Bread)- my first time making it from scratch. Brunch and Left Center Right. More cooking- some of my favorite family (Italian) foods like homemade stuffed shells and wine biscuits. Dinner and more Left Center Right; and, Farkle. . In other words full bellies and hearts here. . Happy Easter! . #easter #familytime #momlife #stepmomlife
    • Maria Kondo’d the shit outta my closet today! . There’s a lot of shit about a lot of shit out there on social media right now. And my honest opinion is that I think most people are doing the best the can within the limits of their reality. Beyond that, I find it all exhausting and high horsey. Yep I made that word up. . So today, I did something for me. I kept telling myself I’d do it when soccer season was over. And then soccer season didn’t even begin. So I was out of excuses. 🤦‍♀️ . Working out clears my head. But so doesn’t accomplishing a big to-do on my big to-do list. . Do something for YOU, that makes YOU feel good. Oh, and it doesn’t have to cost a million dollars. A nice shelving unit isn’t in the budget. This was less than $75 total (I bought it 2 months ago). And you’ve seen the before- so honestly who cares? 🤷‍♀️ . #mariakondo #declutter #declutteryourlife #organize #takecareofyourself #momlife #stepmomlife #mindset #mindfullness #wellness
    • Not just our 5th wedding anniversary. But 5 years of being a step mom to 3. 5 years of having a step mom. 5 years of navigating blended family life. 5 years of trial and adventure, of confusion and joy. . It’s about our marriage yes. We are their foundation. But it’s about them too. Proud to be their [step]momma. . #blendedfamily #stepmom #stepmomlife #raisingstrongkids #raisingstrongfamilies #raisingkids #stepmomstruggle #stepmomsupport #stepmomlove #mom #momlife #marriage #love
