I always hear that it takes a village to raise a child. Where is this infamous village? Check out my new blog post here to hear more of what I have you say about this village. http://www.abbieamescounseling.com/pregnancy-loss-now-what/yzb52qf23doki5u1gqqggfnmh7lv3r

It’s that time of year! Cold and flu… and Covid season. 😷 Every mom’s favorite time of year. If you’re anything like me you love almost everything about this time of year. The cooler days, sweater weather, pumpkin everything, getting out the fall decor, apple picking, pumpkin picking, and so much more! BUT, it’s also cold and flu season. ☕️ 🍎 🎃

Depending on your kiddos ages, this may mean your constantly dealing with sick kiddos, time off from school or work. And even you’re own illness! What happens when we get sick too?! Check out my blog post below!

Your baby, toddler, or child is sick and so are you. Now what do you do? You're miserable. Who is going to take care of you? Read more here for realistic tips.

I’m really loving this training Advanced EMDR therapy for Perinatal and Infant Mental health with Touchstone Institute. Art/coloring was one way I was able to keep myself regulated, grounded, and paying attention as a mom of toddlers! 😉😂🤷‍♀️

Well that happened quickly. I already have a sick kiddo. Anyone else just getting their kiddo back to school and their already sick? 😷 You just have to love the song and dance that is played when it comes to which parent will stay home and cancel their work day. My little guy needs me today though so I’m soaking in all the snuggles while trying not to think about all things I won’t be getting done today 🤷‍♀️

It’s one of those days where my heart is feeling pulled in different directions. ❤️I absolutely love my work and my passion is helping women and moms and supporting them but also helping them heal and grow. AND I also really am missing my boys when they’re away. Working while both boys are at school or daycare is new for me. It’s quiet. It’s just different. It’s such a dichotomy to miss them and want to see them but also crave a break and enjoy working and using a different part of my brain and energy. If anyone else is feeling the transition of summer or seasons in life today and just feeling all the things, please know you’re not alone.

What is the hardest part for you about parenting littles at this season of your life? Is it the exhaustion, sleep deprivation, tantrums, potty training, breastfeeding, lack of freedom, too much on the to do list? Being a mother is such a rewarding and life changing journey and comes with so many peaks and valleys! 🏔For me, this week… it’s sleep deprivation. I’m not one of those people who can manage well with little sleep? I have to be real intentional about getting moments to rest, recharge. Easier said then done sometimes though, right? 😴😉 Comment below! I’d love to hear what your biggest challenge is in this season.

Screen time is such a tricky topic among parents. It feels important to note that shaming parents that are just doing their best, isn’t helpful or productive. 📺 🤔But I’m curious…What are your boundaries, if any around screen time for your child? How do you choose to navigate this in your home? Who sets the limits and reinforces it and deals with the meltdowns and tantrums that may occur if/when limits are placed? Tell me your thoughts or ideas below!
