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

At almost 13 months, her eyes light up every time I open a new box of colorful wooden toys as she explores the world through play. The world shut down when she was not even 1 month old so she is a true quarantine baby, and I can’t wait to freely take her places especially @Disneyland!
⁣
These days she loves playing with her @lovevery play kits. I love how colorful they are and how each box contains expertly curated toys that help babies learn and work on their motor skills through play. #lovevery #Giarumi

You know that feeling of rushing out the door with your kid(s) and diaper bag in tow, driving away from the house then later wondering if you locked your door and closed your garage?🙈⁣
⁣
Yeah me too...but thanks to @LiftMaster and the myQ smart access ecosystem, I can now lock my door, close my garage AND see the inside of my garage, right from my phone!⁣
⁣
Recently I had the LiftMaster Smart Lock installed that allows me to lock and unlock my door as well as check the status of my door right from the phone. I can even let people in using the @myQconnect Guest feature.⁣
⁣
LiftMaster and myQ has saved me so much time and energy because I can now receive my Amazon packages in a safe, secure and contactless way. Thanks to my LiftMaster Secure View Garage Door Opener with a built-in camera I can watch my deliveries happen in real-time from anywhere with the myQ app. My new LiftMaster Smart Lock also works with Key by Amazon so my entryway door automatically locks when I receive an in-garage delivery for added security. I also love that I now have keyless entry into my home, can lock and unlock my door with my phone and always check its status.⁣
⁣
You can see how the lock works on my Insta story and swipe up to read my blog post for details! #liftmaster #ad
