Why why whyyyyy❓—30-month-old

Mom was not my first name, but it's my favorite. Your little explorer has questions about EVERYTHING, and as far as they're concerned, you have ALL the answers—#momgenious. Embrace their curiosity—you may just find yourself re-rediscovering the world right along with them. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Never hurts to have some Starbucks coffee in the house to fuel your question-answering power ☕️.

Trust —31-month-old

You're kinda sorta kinda always on my mind. One of the things that makes motherhood such a challenge is that life continues to happen (and require your attention) while you parent. Learning what and how to prioritize is tricky. Trust your intuition, mama—it will guide you well. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Journaling can often help calm our racing brains, especially at the end of the day (and especially when the journal is really pretty).

An apple a day —29-month-old

Your kids don't want a perfect mom, they want a happy one. If it was up to her, your toddler would live on Goldfish, cookies and the occasional handful of dirt. Lucky for her, she has you. It's not always easy, but you are doing an awesome job of helping her make healthy choices… even when they include a little dirt. XO, Diana + TeamMotherly P.S.

Pacify your worries —30-month-old

When you think about quitting, think about why you started. Pacifiers are such a life saver when we first introduce them—but weaning them can be another a story. Figuring out the ifs, whens and hows is a tough one. But like all the mothering things you do, you'll do it respectfully and lovingly (and on your terms), so your toddler will be a-okay—no worries. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Try swapping out the binky for a new bedtime love, like the Fisher-Price Soothe & Glow Seahorse.
