Tried playing "The Floor is Lava" with my 3.5-year-old, but it didn't go as planned! π He took one look and said, "Mama, it's just lights!" Guess he's a little too smart for me already. Where's the imagination, kid?! π€·ββοΈ #MomLife #TooSmart #ParentingAdventures
Time flies so fast, especially when youβre working full-time and have three kids under 3. I am exhausted, and I donβt pretend not to be. Most nights, I'm just so tired. Tonight, as I was cleaning up from dinner, Kamdyn called for me and asked me to play. Dzmitry was upstairs starting the bedtime routine with the twins. Usually, I change them and put them down.
But tonight, I stopped what I was doing and went upstairs. I told Dzmitry that Kamdyn wanted to play and asked him to handle the twins' bedtime. I went back downstairs, and Kamdyn greeted me with a hug and a kiss. It may seem like a lot for us hardworking parents to stop and play after a long day, but I could see how much it meant to Kamdyn.
Hereβs a reminder to take a moment, because time flies and it means so much to them. I could still hear Kilian screaming upstairs while I was with Kamdyn, but Dzmitry was with him and Kearen, getting them ready for bed. Itβs not always easy to balance everything, but these little moments make it all worthwhile. Parenting is tough, but the love and joy our children bring is priceless. Remember to pause and embrace these moments, even when life feels overwhelming. Cherish these moments; they grow up so fast. π

Every night, my adorable 3-year-old Kamdyn pays me a visit, carrying his blanket and lovies. Around 4am, he climbs into my bed, ready for some cuddle time. These moments are what I live for, and I'll cherish them for a lifetime. π #MomLife #SweetDreams #CuddleBuddy

Happy New Year! π₯³ It's January 1st, 2024, and I'm almost 11 months post-partum, feeling fantastic! π« During the holiday season, I've managed to drop over 5 pounds! The secret? Saying farewell to my desk job and diving into the rewarding chaos of being a stay-at-home mom to my 3 energetic boys. πͺ It's been around 13 years since my weight loss surgery, and I'm thrilled to finally hit my pre-pregnancy weight from Kamdyn. Now, my focus for the new year is to keep moving towards my maintenance weight.

πΆ There's something magical about the joy of singing! From lullabies to melodies, it's been a part of our daily routine. But as Kamdyn grows, my serenades are met with a "no mama, stop singing"! π
Today was different though β caught him singing while playing, and it melted my heart! Hoping he'll discover a love for the arts and singing, carrying on our family's talents. βοΈπ΅ #SingingMom #LittleMusician #FamilyTalents #GrowingUpFast #DoYouWantToBuildASnowman?
