I always dreamed of being a mom.⁣
I always dreamed of paving my own path.
⁣
Little did I know how hard it is to achieve both, and that I can easily lose myself in this journey of trying to “do it all.” ⁣
⁣
While I still don’t have a clear answer on how I do it all, I learned that I can pursue both as long as I remember to be kind to myself and master the art of prioritizing. ⁣
⁣
You can’t be all to everyone but you can do that one thing, one person and one day at a time (and this includes yourself.) ⁣
⁣
One day you may be a bad ass woman, next day you may be an amazing mother, next day you may be a loving wife, partner, daughter, sister or friend. Some days you will feel like you are winning and some days you will feel like you’re failing at all. ⁣
⁣
But remember, this is just a part of the journey. ⁣
⁣
The key is that we don’t let these hard days stop us from trying again and again. We fall, then rise.⁣
⁣
While I’m well aware that we still have a long way to go to achieve true gender equality, we can still celebrate how far women have come in all aspects of our lives in both domestic and public realms. ⁣
⁣
When I have rough days, I think about all the women who came before me and all the women who will come after me. It’s this collective strength, grace and courage that keep me going. My life is an ode to womanhood, to all that we have done, to all that we will achieve together in the future. ⁣
⁣
Our goals may be different but our struggles are the same and one woman’s win is a win for all. Happy International Women’s Day! ♥️👯‍♀️ #internationalwomensday

This is the last time I got dressed up, when I got to spend two nights at a hotel by myself for work. I didn’t tell anyone this, but I was 7 weeks pregnant at the time. Who knew this would mark the end of one chapter of my life. ⁣
⁣
Since then I was pregnant, breastfeeding or attached to a kid or two. Sometimes I miss the newborn smell and sometimes I just want a weekend to myself. It’s the perpetual dilemma of a mom, you know? ⁣

Every woman goes through a series of transitions after each child, from her first to second to third and fourth. It’s hard to know what that identity shift will look like, so it’s important to be prepared for such changes with an open heart and mind. ⁣
⁣
Latest on Mommy Diary: The Podcast, I host a candid conversation with Michelle Tangeman from @thiriving.toddler, who is also a child behavior specialist, licensed family therapist, BCBA and mom of two. ⁣
⁣
We discuss what postpartum depression and anxiety can look like and how it looked for us after our second children. It’s an important conversation that deserves to be talked about over and over again, because “shame grows when we don’t talk about it, and talking about it squashes shame.”⁣
⁣

D is so full of energy these days, I feel bad that he can’t run around outside with his friends. He was in preschool for less than two weeks before it shut down and has been home with me ever since. I bought him many toys during quarantine but nothing seems to really satisfy his need for play, fun and action like the Easy Store 3 ft Trampoline from @OfficialLittletikes. ⁣
⁣
This 3 ft Trampoline has been a life saver. He loves to jump on it and get all his energy out throughout the day from the comfort of our home. I love that it’s easy to fold up and store away when not in use, and I can take it out easily whenever he asks for it. These days he’s been jumping on the trampoline with a cape and playing “super hero.” He loves the feeling of flying high and I love that he’s having fun while working on his gross motor skills.⁣
⁣
If you have little ones ages 3-6, I highly recommend this Easy Store 3 ft Trampoline. It’s a great way for your children to get active and have fun right in your home without taking up too much space and time. You can swipe up on my stories to learn more! #sponsored #LittleTikes
