I feel like I’m becoming a better parent but I know I haven’t always been there for my kids. I guess it’s never too late.
How to be a better mom
It made me
bring it, baby 
"I decided to trust myself, be myself and BRING IT, ya know."
How I did it: I cook, I clean, I'm always there, I nag, I worry, I strive to do better, I brag, I boast, I fight for, I side with, talk to, overprotect, joke with. I'm a good mom, but I guess I always was :)
Lessons & tips: BRING IT, baby!
Resources: My husband, oh yah, and the kids. The dog provides a lot of inspiration, and the cats are my sages.

Mommy play Uno with me!

OK, so it seems that most of my time I spend with my 5 year old daughter consists of the following: Teaching her how to spell, asking her addition and subtraction questions, playing various board and card games with her, taking her to the park, having picnics, watching movies, taking her to hockey games (that is MY addiction) and reading to her…so why do I feel like I am such a bad mom? Is it because I work full time? Is it because I need one night a week away from being mommy?

Focus

I need to slow myself down and think more often. I react too quickly and too much instead of paying attention to the situation.
I would like to take the time to ask myself – what do they need from me right now? How can I help them?
Working on it

My daughter is a little mini-me. She repeats everything I say in the tone I say it. It is like looking into a mirror. She especially likes the disapproving comments and sass. It is a hard lesson to learn and I need to correct it pronto.
I made a few fun projects this week and I thought I was patient while letting them help me cook. Baby steps…

The best way to teach them is to provide an example. I am focused today on being the best person I can be.
More patience. Less frustration.
Maybe a walk after their nap. Fresh air always makes us happy :)

I’m a new mom…my daughter is 8 1/2 months old, and I just want to do the best that I can. I know it will take work…I’m striving to do my best.
Another good day

Its actually been a pretty good 3 days..I feel like most of the time I suck at connecting, but maybe I just need to let go of trying to connect in such a way I feel proper, and connect with my daughter on my own level.

I’m not a bad mom, but I’d like to be better. I want to give my children an amazing childhood they’ll remember their whole lives.
