Mommy thoughts: “While I feel I have a good grip on my emotional regulation & personal coping skills, I never fail to be reminded by dark spaces, why it’s so important to simply be a good person.”
Pride or Parenting?
There are many things involved with parenting that we don't take the time to think about on a regular basis because it comes so natural. There are also parenting situations that appear to be so normal that most of us don't give much thought or question to the way we were taught. Imagine telling someone… Continue reading Pride or Parenting?
Now We’re Doing Tantrums
I really thought me and Desmond had gotten so lucky that we would be able to say, we couldn't relate to our kid dropping to the ground while kicking his feet and screaming. Especially given that Aiden is able to have and carry full conversations about when he's upset and why. It wasn't until last… Continue reading Now We’re Doing Tantrums
Gratitude, Do You Know What It Means?
My very favorite time of the month is when my power is randomly turned off & we have no Wifi to operate the smart devices in our home, including the TV, said no one ever. At least, that's what you'd think living in such a tech loving society. Last month, we found ourselves waking up… Continue reading Gratitude, Do You Know What It Means?

The frustrations of being in the house with a toddler for five months, is something I haven't been… Continue reading Judge Me Not

Imagine having a passion and love so deep for something all the while deeply despising it at the same time. This is the only… Continue reading I’m Upset
Today is 6/4/2020
Today I woke up not really knowing how I feel, but knowing that a cloud was over me. I tried getting out of bed before Aiden to find a sense of peace, I tried working out despite my mind telling me to climb back in bed & sleep or cry. I tried seeking reasons I… Continue reading Today is 6/4/2020
Quarantine Learning
Funny how in the beginning of quarantine, I was in bliss with finding time to embrace solitude. Two months later and I have now realized that this can also be a formula for leading someone into insanity. Sitting at home for 8-9 weeks at a time, with a toddler who can only understand current times… Continue reading Quarantine Learning
Solitude
Solitude and its power has to be one of the most underrated things to value. I have been wondering why I feel so calm with everything going on around us in the world. It was not until I began writing that I realized exactly why I am in a state of calmness. It is in… Continue reading Solitude
