Everyday With Bay

Motherhood

Discipline, from the mom who doesn’t want to…

Dear Moms,

I see you, I see that exhausted look all over your face! I see that you are slowly breaking down every time your toddler throws a fit when you tell them “no”, or when your baby who is super proud of his new teeth starts biting every thing in sight, including his um “food source”…which results in you letting out a possibly scary “NO” which breaks his heart, I see you…Every phase of life comes with new trials and new challenges! Every day there is a struggle with myself on whether or not I’m failing at this motherhood thing. It’s hard y’all, there are days when I just don’t want to. I don’t want to put my kids in time out, don’t want to spank their tiny honeys, don’t want to redirect, don’t want to tell them “NO”, don’t want to put forth energy getting on to them for the 1293410293 time about being rough with their baby brother…I just don’t want to discipline every second of everyday and then I remember……

Growing up without a dad — how it changed me

I want to be raw with y’all. I want y’all to know me, not just the good, the things I love or my now life but really know me. I want all of you to realize where I’ve come from, how I was raised and what shaped me into the person I am today. I grew up without a dad from the young age of 6 after a tragic industrial accident took his life! …

Boys will be boys

 I love my little boys! They are just the right amount of dirt & noise that this mama needs! They love me hard and the wear me out! They are my boys!

We had some fun in the sun before bed tonight and our Pull Ups couldn’t have been cuter or kept up better with all these moves my little guy was pulling out! He was Chuck E Cheese “ticket splashing” with our grass clippings! Haha! #boys

Boys were a hard transition for me to be honest! I grew up in an all girl family and my dad died when I was six so it’s been all girl, all my life!

Greleigh was such an easy baby/toddler, she was super easy to entertain, didn’t bother things, I never had to baby proof and was a piece of cake to potty train. She started going in the potty on her own and basically that same day she was trained through the night and nap times! How you ask?! I HAVE NO CLUE! Now on the Kaige….

He still isn’t trained through the night…it drives me crazy but I have to remember he is not his sister, and he will do it when he’s ready! So for the time being we are loving Huggies Pull Ups, they are super absorbent, have fun designs, move with my busy little guy and they are so easy to get up and down (win win)!

We love them! Huggies have always been our go-to for our kiddos and we have recently discovered their One & Done wipes and that has saved this mama some serious time, which as a mama of three this is life! They are thick, strong and get the job done!

We have tried just doing undies at night but after several mishap moments, lots of sheet washing, and middle of the night wake ups I have just accepted our Pull Up diaper days and we’re embracing it! We get them from our local Wal-Mart Neighboorhood Market and you can even save on them right now with this coupon! You can locate the nearest store here! So convenient and such a great deal!

We’re your boys harder to train? Did they need Pull Ups too? Please help this mama feel better that her baby boy is still wearing them at night at 2.5 years old!!

3 things I’ve learned since becoming a mom to three!

So 3’s a crowd huh? Or at least 3 kids is to most people! I just don’t get it. Nor do I want to! The way most people have a negative outlook on families with 3 kids is something that has frustrated me for awhile now! I can’t tell you how many people told us to stop when we had “the perfect family” with one boy & one girl!  I get it, that may be perfect for some but that wasn’t perfect for us and that’s okay! My 3 kids are my world and I think it’s so crucial to do what you feel is best for you & your family! I’ve always wanted 4 babies and some part of me still does, but my hubs does not so we have 3 and whatever happens I was made to be the mama of these 3 babes!…

Wait, what? | My toddler just said that?

One of my favorite things about having a toddler is listening to them talk! You too? It’s seriously so funny to just sit and listen to them. You never know what might come out of their mouth & that makes for some interesting conversations! Its like they know all these words and just don’t know how to put them all together, yet sometimes they surprise you and you think, wait…my toddler just said what??
