Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

on
Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

I plan to post a list of pregnancy and post-partum tips soon. However, I when I saw this coupon I decided that I had to share the news immediately, before it expires. I firmly believe that the keys to parenting success in the first three months are the two "S's"--the swaddle and the swing.

No exaggeration, I may have lost my mind during my first few months post-partum without this swing. I was blessed to receive it as a gift from two very thoughtful girl friends. They knew what I didn't, even in the early days of life children require entertainment. It must be all that time in their mothers stomachs where they get constant movement.

I don't claim to be a parenting expert, but I am a witness. This swing helped me maintain my sanity, helped my baby relax, and stopped me from wringing Andre's neck (out of frustration) when he walked through the door from work. Thanks to this swing we had a relatively orderly and peaceful household very early after our baby was born. As any new parent knows, that is like hitting the lottery!

Oh, the swing saved my sanity after my babies were born. I still keep it on hand for when I have to babysit. My husband keeps telling me I need to get rid of it since we won't be having more babies, but no way will I part with it. As long as I know I am going to have little ones in my home (nieces, nephews, and friends babies) it's staying!

Thanks for stopping by Theresa's Mixed Nuts. I am following you on twitter and gfc :)
