Is there such a thing? 

Well, there can be. It may just take some mind work. Although we are creating something so beautiful it may be hard to look at our bodies the same. Some mamas really embrace their bumps while others find it difficult to cope with their new stretch marks, puffy face and growing feet! 

Sometimes we just need to take a step back and learn that this is temporary and all for a much bigger purpose and that's where the beauty is! We are creating the next generation, beautiful souls, growing and feeding a whole human being inside of us and not everyone is granted that blessing. This week you will hear Mama Sareena and Amma Lisas thoughts on this beautiful phase of life!

One parenting struggle we all come across in every stage of their development... getting our kids to mind us. Sometimes it may feel impossible. But it all starts at the foundation of your relationship which we dive into in this episode.

Getting our kids to mind us is not easy and takes a lot of work for us as parents but once you get the basics of it, hopefully it will help in all other aspects of raising your kids.

We hope you enjoy this and if there are some things you are still struggling with we encourage you to reach out to us on our platforms below! We'd love to hear your questions!

This episode is in honor of Aunt Rae! Sareena's landlady that everyone would call Aunt who recently passed at the age of 97! 

We hope that this is a reminder to you all to cherish your elders and soak them up while they are here with us. Whether it may be your grandparents, great grandparents, great aunts, and uncles, or just an elderly neighbor! 

They have so much knowledge and wisdom to share with us and our kids it would be a shame to miss out on that exchange! They can teach us so much and vice versa.

So please reach out and show some love, we wouldn't be here without them. Send a text, make a call, or write a letter! They would LOVE getting a letter in the mail!

We would love to hear about a beautiful memory you have with a loved one! You can connect with us through our social media below!

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift––that is why it is called the present.” Sorry, we are giving it to you real and raw this week as we dive into the conversation of distracted parenting.
Here is a reminder of why it is important to be present. Our kids grow up before we know it and we want to cherish the little time we have with them although it might feel like it's forever. It is a new time and our phones have really started changing the way we interact. Sometimes for the good but within personal relationships, it can become destructive. Let's not give a little electronic box that power. 
Let's take control and live in the moment with our loved ones!
Are you up to the challenge of sharing your screen time? Join this week's challenge of sharing your screen time and let's work on bringing it down by the end of this week! Please share with us on our platforms below!

Early in the new year, we are sometimes inspired to organize and declutter our homes. The singing amma has a couple of good ideas that both encourage independence for our littles ones and also help with keeping our kid's spaces tidy. 
How do you feel about letting your kids decide when and what (healthy options ofcourse) to munch on throughout the day. Listen in to hear about how this can be a very helpful practice to implement for the new year. Also to give yourself a break from constantly preparing them something to eat. Sometimes more small meals are better than three big ones especially when they have tiny bellies that get filled quicker than ours! 
We'd love to hear what your little ones enjoy snacking on. Please share with us on our platforms below!

Ever try not saying 'no' to your child... Sounds crazy, right? 
Well in this week's conversation Amma Lisa teaches Sareena how this technique could help without creating a "spoiled kid". It is a great discussion and Mama Sareena unlearns the tough love approach and learns how to pay attention to why the behavior is happening before trying to silence it. A great listen now that kids will be home for the holidays. Hopefully, while families are together this season, this will help it be a little more enjoyable!

In this weeks conversation, we discuss how to prevent crushing your kids' dreams with the sad truth about Santa. Even though it is hard for us to believe even as adults, there is still magic in the air during this lovely season of giving and cheer. Be sure to listen to this one while the kids are busy! This episode isnt only for those who celebrate christmas either. We mention other holidays and would love to hear what you celebrate over on our facebook group "The Village Parenting Community." We also know there are many diverse families as we are one of them and get into the convo of split holidays with parents and what that looks like. So we hope you enjoy our episode as well as this beautiful time of the year! Happy Holidays everyone!

In this week's episode, we will be discussing "Christmas Consumerism." We will discuss how to eliminate the stress of holiday spending, what we believe the holiday season is actually about, and how getting wrapped up (no pun intended) in all the spending can affect us and our families. The episode begins with Amma Lisa reading a column she wrote in a magazine then we will dive into the conversation while Sareena shares some statistics. We mention Christmas a lot because where we are from Christmas is the main holiday although consumerism has changed the whole point of why we come together. Please feel free to share your comments in our Facebook group "The Village Parenting Community." We would also love to hear what other topics you would like to hear discussed. Thanks for joining us here in our virtual village!
