If you truly love your children, you will give them responsibilities and chores.

Yes, we know you can do it faster.
Yes, we know you can do it better.

But your duty as a parents is to love and teach.

So show them. Walk along side them. Set a true example. Keep them accountable.

Don’t give up on them or yourself.

You can tell a kid they’re essential..but if you don’t let them participate, or even require them to participate, they will never trully believe it.

Make your kids do chores.

The more specific you can be in your questions the more information you will get back. You are reminding your child of different moments in the day, helping them focus in and share something. A question like "what did you do today?" is too broad and can be overwhelming for children to answer.

Growing Together in Life, Career, and Love 🌱

Life is an adventure, and having someone to grow with makes it even more special. A growth companion shares in your joys, supports you through challenges, and creates memories together.

In your career journey, a growth-oriented partner becomes your cheerleader. They celebrate your successes and offer unwavering support during tough times. Together, you both envision a future where both of you can thrive in your professional lives.

In a relationship built on growth, every day is a new opportunity to discover more about each other. Effective communication, understanding, and adapting to change become the foundation. It's a shared canvas where love and companionship create a beautiful masterpiece.

So, embrace each day as a chance to learn and grow together. Communicate openly, support each other’s dreams, and remember that the journey is as important as the destination. Here’s to a life filled with continuous growth, love, and shared accomplishments! 🌟

Recently, we’ve realized that life is tough, filled with various challenges. It's like walking a tightrope between what we want and what holds us back. The key is understanding that we can't avoid difficulties, but we can choose which ones to face.

Life's problems come in different forms – relationships, work, self-discovery. We have the power to pick challenges that matter to us, even if it means stepping out of our comfort zone. The goal is to embrace struggles that lead to growth and fulfillment.

Resilience is crucial; our choices in dealing with difficulties shape who we are. Whether it's facing personal issues, work challenges, or existential questions, we're constantly refining how we respond to life's tests.

Life is inherently hard, but our decisions play a big role. By choosing challenges aligned with our values, we can create a meaningful story for ourselves. It's about finding beauty and meaning amid life's difficulties.

Hello! Today, let's talk about something that we believe is super important – the value of going out with friends or even hitting the party scene, even when you're a parent. 🎉

As parents, our lives often revolve around our little ones – their schedules, their needs, and their world. And while being there for our children is undoubtedly a priority, it's equally crucial to remember that we, as individuals, need our own moments of joy, connection, and freedom.

✅ Recharge Your Batteries: Parenting is a demanding job, and it's easy to get caught up in the routine. Taking a break to go out allows you to recharge, both physically and mentally. It's a chance to unwind and return home with renewed energy.

✅ Maintain Your Identity: Parenthood is a beautiful journey, but it doesn't mean giving up on the person you were before becoming a parent. Going out with friends helps you reconnect with your pre-parent self, maintaining a sense of identity outside of your parental role.

✅ Strengthen Social Bonds: Friendships are invaluable, and nurturing them is essential for your well-being. Going out with friends or hitting the party scene is an opportunity to strengthen social bonds, creating a support system that enriches your life.

✅ Promote Mental Health: Taking a break from parental responsibilities allows you to destress and promotes mental health. A happy and relaxed parent is better equipped to handle the challenges of parenting.

✅ Lead by Example: Showing your children that it's okay to have a social life, to prioritize self-care, and to enjoy moments of fun is a valuable lesson. It teaches them about balance and the importance of personal well-being.

Now, we are not saying that you need to go out every night, but finding that balance between parenthood and personal time is key. Whether it's a casual dinner with friends, a movie night, or hitting the dance floor – these moments contribute to a healthier, more fulfilling life for both you and your family.

So, here's to embracing the parent life while still enjoying those precious moments of freedom! 🥂

At the early stage of being a mother of two beautiful girls with a 5-year age gap, I find myself immersed in a delightful chaos where each is at a unique stage of childhood.

Sofia Reighn, my 6 year old, exudes an energy that fills our days with laughter, curiosity, and non-stop questions that spark our shared adventures. Meanwhile, little Cali, my precious 1 year and 1 month old bundle of joy, has added a new dimension to our family dynamics.

As I revel in the joys of motherhood, a subtle worry lingers in the background - the concern about how the significant age gap between Sofia and Cali might influence their sisterly bond in the years to come. Five years is not just a numerical difference; it's a gap that encompasses distinct phases of childhood development, interests, and needs.

I find myself pondering questions that perhaps many mothers with children spanning a broad age range may grapple with. Will Sofia feel a sense of responsibility towards her baby sister or see her as a mere playmate when the age difference becomes more pronounced? Can the vast developmental disparity hinder the natural connection that sisters often share?

In the middle of these thoughts, I am learning to embrace the present and actively engage in creating moments that foster sibling bonding. Sofia, with her boundless enthusiasm, has eagerly stepped into the role of a loving big sister. Whether it's singing and dancing with Cali, playing peek-a-bo, or simply sharing a gentle touch, Sofia has displayed an innate sense of care and protectiveness.

However, the challenges are undeniable. Sofia had entered the world of school, friends, and activities that captivate her curious mind, while Cali was just beginning to explore the wonders of toddlerhood. The balance between meeting the needs of a school-aged child and a newbie toddler requires a delicate dance, one that demands patience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the unique qualities each stage brings.

As we navigate this intricate tapestry of sisterhood, I've come to realize the importance of individual connections as well. Spending quality one-on-one time with Sofia and cherishing those quiet moments with Cali has become a priority. It's a delicate balance, ensuring that both girls receive the attention and love they crave in ways that cater to their specific ages and interests.

Yet, as any mother knows, uncertainties linger. Will Cali feel a sense of camaraderie with her older sister as they grow, or will the age difference create a gap that proves challenging to bridge? The future remains uncertain, and parenting, in essence, is a journey filled with unknowns.

Nevertheless, despite the uncertainties, I find solace in witnessing the early signs of a blossoming sisterhood. The way Sofia’s eyes light up when Cali giggles, or the gentle way she kisses her goodnight, paints a hopeful picture. These moments, however small, are the building blocks of a connection that will continue to evolve and strengthen with time.

So, as we figure out the uncharted waters of motherhood with a 6 year old and a 1 year old, our heart is filled with a mix of emotions — joy, fear, and the love that binds us all together. The journey ahead may hold challenges, but with patience, love, and a commitment to nurturing the unique bond between Sofia and Cali, we are hopeful that their sisterhood will flourish into a beautiful tapestry of shared memories and enduring companionship. 🩷
