📺 How to Balance Technology for Kids During Qua 📺 How to Balance Technology for Kids During Quarantine 🏡⁠ .⁠ Let's face it. Technology is now a way of life for families. Whether your kids are stuck at home for a few weeks or just for a few rainy days, technology is always going to be something they'll reach for to entertain themselves. And that's not necessarily a bad thing; however, there should always be a balance of technology, especially for kids.⁠ .⁠ Some families choose to restrict screen time. While other families tend to be more lenient when it comes to tech. Technology can offer some positive benefits for our kids. However, as we all know, there are also some negative effects of technology for kids. This doesn't mean that we have to keep our kids away from technology, necessarily. But it does mean that there should be limits, or a balance, to when and how much tech they consume. We are sharing some ways you can help your kids find that balance with technology when they're quarantined these next few weeks.⁠ {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading!}⁠ Article by: Tasha Mayberry⁠ 📷: @byjessicabrown⁠ .⁠ #coronavirus #covid19 #quarantine #quarantinelife #screentime #technology #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momlife #motherhood #momstruggles #momprobs #mumlife #mommylife #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #realmoms #momstatus #thatmomlife #realmomlife #momsofinstagram #motherhoodrising #ig_motherhood #uniteinmotherhood⁣ #babychick⁣ #mommychick #parenting #lessscreentime

Words written by @th3littlestavenger’s husband:⁠ .⁠ "Hayley asked me to write something about her postpartum body.⁠ I figured it'd be easy but then I started thinking--⁠ what is there to even write about?⁠ Sure, things look and feel slightly different--but in the grand scheme of things, nothing changed.⁠ The reasons I fell in love with her had nothing to do with any of the body parts affected by her postpartum.⁠ .⁠ She still has the same beautiful smile, determined mind, banging body, and strong work ethic as the girl I feel in love with over 15 years ago.⁠ She still has the same sense of humor.⁠ She still smells great and tastes great too.⁠ Her postpartum body does look and feel slightly different, but why should that be a factor in my life at all?⁠ .⁠ The soft pillowy skin around her belly button held my three best friends for 18 months.⁠ The marks show the strength it took to carry the weight of two beautiful girls that will be raised by this bad ass mom.⁠ Nothing has changed or altered my love for my wife.⁠ .⁠ I get praised for being a 'great husband,' but that's nonsense.⁠ I'm literally doing the bare minimum by loving my wife for who she is, 'imperfections' and all.⁠ Imperfections make the world fun.⁠ If everything was Barbie doll perfect, wouldn't we all get bored?⁠ How else would we show what life has put us through?⁠ .⁠ So whether it's regrettable tattoos, scars, surgeries, dumb facial hair, or a postpartum tummy, honestly...who gives a shit?⁠ Be good to each other. Learn from mistakes--yours and others. Help those in need and let's stop dwelling on who looks like what.⁠ .⁠ My wife isn't perfect and that's what makes me love her.⁠ That's why you are all reading this.⁠ If she was perfect, not a single one of you would be able to relate to her.⁠ And to the husbands out there that don't do their fair share of diaper duty, cooking, cleaning and telling your wife how beautiful she is--step up your game, bro.⁠ You're a team."⁠ ❤️⁠ Words & 📷: @th3littlestavenger

🤰 Study Says Giving Birth is Harder than Runnin 🤰 Study Says Giving Birth is Harder than Running a Marathon 🏃‍♀️⁠ .⁠ "I ran a half-marathon before I had children. Sure, it was exhilarating to cross the finish line after 13.1 straight miles of hitting the pavement. I had spent countless hours of cardio and weight training in the months prior. 🏋️‍♀️ I was happy, exhausted and even delirious upon finishing the marathon 🤪 (my husband has the funny-looking pictures of me wearing a pink t-shirt and fist-pumping the air like a wild woman to prove it ✊). But I am here to tell you that giving birth to my kids was much harder than running a marathon!⁠ .⁠ I needed a few days, maybe a full week, to recover my body from the race. But the postpartum recovery I’ve endured since giving birth to my two daughters who are 17 months apart has been the real athletic feat.⁠ .⁠ I’ve had to be patient with my body as I rebuild the strength in my pelvic floor and deal with bladder inconstancy (re: I pee when I cough, sneeze, or laugh at my husband’s jokes). So I was thrilled when I read the scientific community echoing what I already knew to be true: giving birth is harder than running a marathon. You bet it is!⁠" {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading!}⁠ Article by: Kristen Middleton⁠ 📷: unknown⁠ .⁠ #birth #childbirth #pregnancy #baby #newborn #birthphotography #birthwithoutfear #naturalbirth #hospitalbirth #birthdoula #birthisbeautiful #momlife #newbaby #motherhood #mumlife #marathon #babychick #mommychick #birthrecovery #superwomen #mother #newmom

It can be very exhausting as a mom when you open up about a challenge you're facing and then receive an overwhelming list of different things to do or try to 'fix it'. Especially when you've already tried it all or heard it all. Sometimes all a mama needs is an ear to listen and to know they aren't alone.

"Domesticity does not equal motherhood. 🙅‍♀ "Domesticity does not equal motherhood. 🙅‍♀️ I once sat in a class where teenage girls said they needed to learn how to cook, do laundry, and clean if they wanted to one day be good moms. I stopped and told them that cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning are part of being an ADULT. Those are not the things that make up motherhood. But I get where they got that conclusion. You always hear women say they aren't good moms when they don't make homemade lunches, prepare cupcakes for the bake sale, show up to the doctor with kids who have brushed hair, or get the laundry put away in a decent time. 'I'm such a bad mom. I sent store-bought Valentines to school with my kid.' 'Mom fail. I didn't get the laundry done.' 'I'm a failure as a mom. I don't make homemade bread/cookies/whatever.' NO. Your 'success' as a mother is not defined by domestic duties. Domestic duties are part of being an adult. While your children do need to be changed and fed, that's not the summation of MOTHERHOOD. Anyone can change and feed children, including dads. You can hire someone to clean your house and feed your kids, and you'll still be a mom. And if you weren't a mom, you'd still have to clean your house, cook food, and do laundry. You're not a bad mom because you didn't do laundry in time. Let's stop combining domestic duties with motherhood, because they just aren't the same. Yes, moms do domestic things. And they raise children. These are two separate things. Your housekeeping is not your motherhood, and you're giving away power when you combine the two and judge one against the other. You are a good mom because you love your child, and you try to help them learn the things they need to learn. You worry about your kids, you spend time with them, you plan for their future, and so much more. You might be terrible at domestic duties (I don't know) or you might be the best housekeeper in the world. But neither end of the spectrum--or anything in between--determines if you're a good mom or not. Housekeeping is NOT motherhood."

"30 hours of labor ended with an emergency C-secti "30 hours of labor ended with an emergency C-section... not what we planned but I learned pretty quickly that night that having a plan for bringing a human into the world is a fool's errand. All that mattered was that he got here safely. Having him in the middle of a global health crisis was also not in the baby prep books, but here we are. Holding him and healing my body in a maternity ward that's eerily quiet from us not being allowed visitors or family at this time, but strangely serene. All we hear are monitors beeping and the coos of our infant son. Maybe the sound of the 100th episode of The Office @ryanhurd and I have binged while in here. The admiration we have for the doctors, nurses + healthcare professionals that took care of Hayes & me during our stay cannot be measured in this post. They risked their health every day to make sure ours was okay. I can't think of anything more selfless than that. Ultimately, I can't thank every single mother enough for going through what you've gone through because I had NO idea how hard it could be, and I'm a measly 4 days in. The world is changing before our eyes and so am I. That's been a peaceful thing to cling to during these uncertain times. Thinking of you all. 🖤" - @marenmorris and her birth to her son Hayes Andrew Hurd 💕⁠ .⁠ Congratulations, @marenmorris! You are already an incredible mother. Don't dwell on the things that happened that didn't go as planned and that were out of your control. You are safe, you are well, and you have a son. You are a warrior.

We’ve been missing our library dates, ballet classes, afternoons at the playground, chess club, but most of all: our friends. My usually-somewhat-agreeable child has been downright combative and emotionally on-edge these past few days, poor thing. 😢 This quarantine is so hard on everyone, but especially our most vulnerable . . . which includes our children. {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading about the hows and whys of homeschooling as well as this mama's great tips to help you and your child start learning at home!}⁠ Article by: Bree Von Lopez⁠ 📷: @watsonhomestead⁠ .⁠ #homeschoollife #coronavirus #covid19 #quarantine #quarantinelife #homeschool #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momlife #motherhood #mumlife #mommylife #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #momsofinstagram #learningathome #motherhoodrising #ig_motherhood #uniteinmotherhood⁣ #babychick⁣ #mommychick #homeschooling #homeschoolrocks #homeschooler #homeschoolfamily #lifeofahomeschooler #homeschoolmoms #homeschoolkids #homeeducation #homeschoolfun #homeschoolmama

🤰 What Is Happening With Your Postpartum Body?⁠ 👶⁠ .⁠ During pregnancy, your body is undergoing rapid changes to nourish the life growing inside of you. 💗 These changes can be exciting and welcomed in anticipation of meeting the newest member of your family. 🤗 However, after baby comes, we often forget, or just weren’t prepared, for the continued changes and discomforts of what is happening with your postpartum body. 😳 For years, these less than glamorous aspects of the “fourth trimester” were suppressed and not talked about openly. We can all be thankful that we live in an age where even the uncomfortable subjects can be talked about openly to help us all realize we aren’t alone.⁠ And that's exactly what we're doing today. Our resident OBGYN is talking about what exactly is happening to our postpartum bodies. {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading!}⁠ 📷: @tanishasnell_⁠ .⁠ #thisispostpartum #postpartum #postpartumlife #postpartumcare #postpartumcareplan #selflove #dailyparenting #honestlymothering #motherhoodunplugged #youarenotalone #motherhood #mothering #momlife #newmom #4thtrimester #fourthtrimester #postnatal #babychick #mommychick #motherhoodthroughinstagram #mumlife #mommylife #momstatus #thatmomlife #realmomlife #momsofinstagram #motherhoodrising #ig_motherhood #uniteinmotherhood⁣

👩‍🏫 A Teacher (and Mom's) Tips for Learnin 👩‍🏫 A Teacher (and Mom's) Tips for Learning at Home⁠ ❤️⁠ .⁠ As a teacher and mom, I can completely understand the panic I see from other moms who have been suddenly thrust into a teaching-from-home position due to the spread of COVID-19 and subsequent school closures. Moms around the country are scrambling to find a way to continue their child's education by implementing learning from home. But most aren't sure where to start!⁠ .⁠ Like many of you reading this, I have seen social media posts from (what I like to call) the moms-of-Pinterest to the moms-barely-keeping-it-together. 🙋‍♀️ I have seen families plan structured activities throughout each day and families play outside all day (in their own space, of course). Both are okay! There is really no right or wrong way to do this. But because of my background as a teacher and mom, I want to offer some encouragement and tips. {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading!}⁠ Article by: Shannon Alba⁠ 📷: @chantellelournes⁠ .⁠ #coronavirus #covid19 #quarantine #quarantinelife #homeschool #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momlife #motherhood #momstruggles #momprobs #mumlife #mommylife #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #realmoms #momstatus #thatmomlife #realmomlife #momsofinstagram #learningathome #motherhoodrising #ig_motherhood #uniteinmotherhood⁣ #babychick⁣ #mommychick

🧼 How to Clean Your Kids Toys in the Days of CO 🧼 How to Clean Your Kids Toys in the Days of COVID-19⁠ 🧸 .⁠ It’s hard to be a parent at times like these. It means lots and lots of cleaning, and being vigilant about killing germs on a daily basis. 🦠😷 During this season when many of us have our kids at home, too, it’s important to learn the best known strategies for how to clean your kids toys effectively. We have a mama, teacher, childcare provider, and school administrator on baby-chick.com today and she has seen and tried all different kinds of ways to keep toys and the objects children use most often clean and free of germs. It’s a struggle, but it’s worth it!⁠ 👍 .⁠ Even though COVID-19 is a novel virus, experts say that we can still use products that the Environmental Protection Agency lists as effective on killing similar viruses, like the rhinovirus or common cold. And when we halt the spread of germs in our own home, we are doing our part to keep our communities healthy, too.⁠ {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading!}⁠ 📷: @inmomsitrust⁠ .⁠ #coronavirus #covid19 #quarantine #quarantinelife #motherhoodthroughinstagram #cleaning #cleaningtoys #safety #kidstoys #momlife #motherhood #momstruggles #momprobs #mumlife #mommylife #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #realmoms #momstatus #thatmomlife #realmomlife #momsofinstagram #momhumor #motherhoodrising #ig_motherhood #uniteinmotherhood⁣ #babychick⁣ #mommychick
