Key Quotes

18:16  Sometimes, the best way to improve our kid’s well-being is to simply go back to basics. Getting our hands dirty with the kids while playing in the garden, even for just 10-15 minutes, can do wonders for their physical and mental health. It's not just about food or exercise, it's about embracing simplicity and rediscovering the joy in life's simple pleasures. - Gen

21:24  I believe in empowering our baby to explore new experiences, including the introduction of solid foods. When you see signs that your little one is ready and eager to try, encourage and support them. It's important to remember that every baby is unique and may be ready at different times. However, I also advocate for following recommended guidelines and waiting until at least 6 months to begin introducing solids, ensuring that your baby's development is supported and safe. - Gen

23:53  There’s no such thing as perfectionism in motherhood or in life. - Gen

25:01 By investing time into my own growth and well-being, I not only become a better, stronger person for myself but also for my children. - Gen

25:38  Motherhood can be messy, but taking time for myself has brought a sense of fulfillment and progress to my journey. - Gen

26:00  To any mom feeling shame, take a moment to reflect on where you may be striving for perfection and setting unrealistic expectations for yourself and your children. Remember that being a good mom doesn't mean being perfect, it means doing your best with love and compassion. - Leashia Arrowsmith
