Unapologetically Imperfect

We are back from our Summer break and thought it's time for another check-in to see how you are coping right now. The last time we spoke about this we were closer to the begin of all the stay at home orders. We are now much further in, our kids are distance learning for how long we aren't completely sure. We know it can be hard to stay positive and be the rock for your family...however, you have to take care of yourself. You cannot care for others if you aren't doing well. Be honest...how are you doing? Check in with your virtual village of support, avoid negativity and choose happiness. 

This week we talk about things our kids have said or done that were just pure comedy. You know there are moments when your kids do or say something that you just wonder...where did they get that from. 

Sit back, have a laugh and enjoy. Feel free to share your funny stories with us!

How are you doing? It seemed we were moving in the right direction as things have slowly started opening up but now things are shutting back down. With all the uncertainty of the rest of this summer and the school year ahead, we wanted to check in with you mamas and see how you are hanging in there. Let us know...we are here!

We felt it was worth an episode to revisit the episode we did back on January 8, 2020. It was a very different time back then...and that was only 5 months ago. So, where are we now and what can we do to still push forward with the goals we set at the beginning of the year? Enjoy this episode and remember...there's always time for a reset!

Even though this episode is all about Moms we are truly grateful for the men we get to call our children's father! Remember, they will not do things like you do, they have "dad jokes" and they love our children with all of their hearts. This episode is dedicated to our husbands that support us in all our endeavors and help raise our children. 

It can be hard when your kids start changing from babies to toddlers, from toddlers to kids, kids to teens and teens to adults. Enjoy the ride! Sometimes it's hard for us to see them changing because we know that one day they will be adults. We are with you...

This episode is about taking time to rest and recharge your batteries U I Mamas. It's so important that we take care of ourselves so we can take care of others. With all the extra stressors we've had these last few months...it's very likely you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Remember to take time for you. Whether it's to read a good book, sneak away for a snack or just disappear in a bubble bath.

Right now you are probably having some discussions with your kids about many things from COVID-19, to political and now the recent protests. Take advantage of these times to help your children develop the skills to have these conversations. Let them be privy to your decision process for instance to why you have chosen a certain side. For instance, when you kids don't understand why you have chosen to continue to social distance and play it safe even though things are opening back up. Let them do the research and share their take on things. We hope you enjoy this episode and take away some great tips on having those difficult discussions with your kids.

Summer may have a bit of a different feel this year. But what are some things you are looking forward to this summer? Any plans to do anything special?  Maybe you are just happy distance learning is over! We'd love to hear from you.

During COVID-19 we've had to become many things to our kids...teacher, principal, PE teacher, counselor, and more. How are you coping? Hang in there...we are with you. Take it one day at a time.
