Christian Mamas

I just found out I’m pregnant with my second child. My son is currently 20 months old. I’ve really thought I was one and done. So much so I was starting to think about giving away the baby things I have kept.

I quit my job at the beginning of the year to help my husband in real estate, and also watch our son. Financially we are doing okay, but I’m not used to being an entrepreneur and living on commission based income. It can be truly great, but it can also be hard. Last year my husband did amazing, but this year since I quit things have slowed down and it gets to me. I get very stressed. I used to carry the health insurance, and now it’s a large added cost out of pocket. Overall we are doing okay, but I can’t help but stress over money. I’ve always been a worker, and had a high paying career, but with highly demanding hours so I knew leaving was the right thing to do. I knew in the long run I’d regret not quitting and missing time with my son. That said, I felt like I had to hold on for a few years until my son was in school and go from there. Either stay in real estate or go back to my job. It’s hard now to even find the time to balance both, mom and real estate. I know with two it will be so much more challenging.

My son is an incredible boy. He is adventurous, a doer, and loves to be on the go. I fear that having a second will be extremely challenging with how much energy he demands on a day to day. I also had a very hard time post partum with PPD,PPA, and rage. I have so much fear of going through it all again. My son was not a great sleeper at first, and now sleeps through the night. I’m so scared of re-living that again.

Overall my mind is just racing. I keep asking God what is his plan. Why now, how can I find the strength to do it all. I need prayers. I pray I find guidance, and strength to rise up to what I know is already incredibly difficult, and will now be even more twice fold.

Hi mamas!

I’m starting a mail club for Christian girlies and I’d love to send 10-15 ladies on here my first month completely free to your mailbox!

I want to help encourage other women and spread God’s love & light. I believe the Holy Spirit has inspired and led me to starting this & I can’t wait to see what He has in store.

If you’d like to be one of the very first recipients, comment below or message me and I’ll give you more details☺️🕊️🌿

Mamas, how do you usually resolve conflict with your partner? We had a little disagreement yesterday and it’s been a bit awkward since. Baby girl is finally asleep, so I feel like it’s the perfect time to just resolve things, but I don’t even know how to start.

It feels like neither of us wants to make the first move 😅 I honestly just wish I could go over and give him a hug, but I don’t know how to break the ice. What would you do?

Ladies, I’m really needing some advice on how we should be disciplining our boy (or if we even should)

For context, Christianity is new to our family. We’ve been working hard this year on our faith and recently started attending church.

My almost 6 year old is very strong willed. I don’t want to change who he is, but sometimes I wonder whether we’re doing him more harm than good and he won’t turn into a nice person.

Today at church a group of children were outside playing and a lady called them all in. My son goes in then decides he wasn’t done and went back. Even went straight past me did not listen when I said no. He said he didn’t care and was going anyway. I had to follow him with my toddler and get him to come back in. I was so angry (I’m working on this) and honestly so embarrassed that he was the only child acting like this.

Please help me understand what to do with strong willed children. I’ve tried taking things away, explaining things calmly, giving him space and time in his room. I don’t want to be a “you must obey your parent” mum but also, I like you still have to listen to your parents right?! 🫠🫠

“How would our mom friendships be impacted if instead of criticism of someone else’s approach to parenting, we engaged the conversation with curiosity? If instead of assuming the worst of her in a particular situation, we became more aware of the false narratives we were believing? If instead of assuming one of us was right and one was wrong, we took the opportunity to notice how God made each of His children differently—and we can celebrate that diversity!

Consider your current friendships. Are there a variety of gifts, perspectives, and interests represented? What could you do to expand the diversity in your friend group?”
