I have been a stay-at-home mom since my first child was born in 2017. No woman in my immediate life gave me any solid advice on how to save money as a stay-at-home mom. In fact, many of the women in my life could not relate to not having a job and being home for a long stretch of time to take care of their child or children.

20 weeks, baby, baby! In my best Biggie Smalls impersonation voice! We are halfway there, and I can’t believe “well I can” how fast these five months have come. We know the gender of our baby, and we have started buying clothes and baby essentials.

Whew! Time is passing by with this pregnancy. In my last update, I touched on my 14 weeks pregnancy update. That was officially a month ago, and now I am 5 months pregnant. I have been taking time each day since those four weeks ago to love myself. 💛

Just baby bumping

It’s time. It is time that you allow yourself to stop walking on eggshells to accomplish your dreams. It is time that you stop looking for your close family members or friends to encourage you. If you feel stuck in life right now, I know how hopeless it can feel. The better that you crave to have seems only to be a daydream. The better that you crave only seems to be depicted in others' lives on social media, in the media, or on television.
