🙋🏻♀️Raise your hand if you get overstimulated before the day is halfway through!
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my kids. I live for them, I’d die for them. But that doesn’t take away the fact that constant questions, constant contact, and a mother’s mental load will drop an elephant to its knees.
Motherhood is both the greatest gift and a burden at the same time. Along with the overstimulation and overwhelm you are gifted with mom guilt, doubt, worry, and stress. So it’s NORMAL TO NEED SPACE! Anyone would!
Next time you feel like you need to take a breather and step out somewhere you aren’t needed for a while, go for it and don’t feel guilty!
You are STRONG, you are CAPABLE, and you are HUMAN!

🤔I always thought I’d be a working mom.
Never thought that after having my first baby since my first was born back in 2009 id want to do the whole stay-at-home mom thing again. But ever since Rowan was born in January I had this insane urged to just stay at home with him and raise him myself 24/7 (with dad’s help of course).
Just the thought of spending HOURS away from my baby every single day scares the sh!t out of me.
Although I have insane respect for childcare providers I do not want someone else raising my baby.
So I dove in, once more in my entrepreneurial journey, I started a blog, started working on gaining social media presence, learning how to start a podcast, and getting started as a partner with a wellness company that allows to make an income helping myself and others transform the best version of themselves.
If you’re like me, feeling the urge to stay home with your kids but don’t know how or where to get started, either DM me or comment “PARTNER” in the comment section.

Hey Peeps! 👋 I don’t know if you noticed but I unlocked a new character for my family. My whole life changed so I figured I’d re-introduce myself as the new person, mom, and wife I’ve evolved into over the last 2 months. Actually I don’t think I ever did officially introduce myself … oops. 🙊 Oh well, moving on!I’m Melina, a Mom to two gorgeous boys. One teenager and one 2 month old baby. I am also a wife to the most amazing, supportive and sexy man, Ed.I am currently working hard on my health and my blog so I can keep up with my kids, get pregnant again (yes, baby fever is already in full swing), and make enough money so I don’t have to go back to work.I am proud to call Ottawa, Ontario home. People say it’s boring and lame but I find it quaint and safe.At the moment, you will find me spending my Saturday nights drinking decaf with way too much Silk Vanilla Creamer and watching sh*tty reality TV with my husband.My days are filled with baby snuggles, laughs with my teenage boy, Knox, and/or cooking with my amazing husband Ed. My fave form of relaxation is journaling and a good, sweaty workout. I workout almost every day and I check in with on my group chat with my girls for support and accountability. What annoys me the most is when I have the family (finally) ready to leave the house and I can’t seem to find my phone. This is followed by me frantically searching and running through the house with my shoes on looking for my phone which often ends up being:🤔 stuffed down a laundry basket🤔 in between the blankets on my bed🤔 already in my hands (yes, really). 🤷🏻♀️So that’s me. Tell me about you!Answer these three questions in the comments.👇 Where are you from?What do you do for fun?What’s your pet peeve?#momlife #newmom #newmomlife #mommyblogger #momblogger #introducemyself #momblog #socialmediamom #documentyourdays #ourcandidlife #uniteinmotherhood #mamablogger #momsofinstagram #mommyhood #motherhood #montessoribaby
