There's a quote that goes something like, "It takes a village to raise a child." (I've also heard a variation that includes a vineyard!) 😇⁠ ⁠ It's true though, sometimes as parents, we need extra support! ⁠ ⁠ The Village is an online parenting workshop hosted by Randine Mariona, a Registered Social Worker and published Author. I've recently heard about this opportunity and it sounds like a great way to feel connected to other young parents, learn expert parenting and communication strategies, and to hold space for each other. It's 6 weeks long, all virtual meetups, every Saturday for an hour. ⁠ ⁠ With everything going on for me right now, I'm not able to commit, though it's important to me to put this out there for anyone who may need it. 💕⁠ ⁠ Learn more: https://www.kelseythecounsellor.com/the-village⁠ #motherhood #parenting #parentinglife #parentingworkshop #toddlers #youngsters #parentingsupport

One day at a time. 💕⁠ Blake’s 1st birthday is in a little bit over a month. It’ll be 365 days that the worst day of my life changed our family forever. The ideas of who my little Blake would be, what he would like, his favorite stuffed animal… Perhaps the enigma makes the grief a little easier sometimes…yet it also makes it worst…while we are loving him from under and he is keeping an eye on us from above, not one day goes by where I don’t think of him. ⁠ ⁠ His birthday will be February 26th, because he is not with us, I would like to honor him by getting a birthday cake for one of your kids that is born the same day. DM me if you have a little one’s birthday around that date…it would make my heart full to know that one lucky star is blowing his/her candles. 💕⁠ ⁠ #losangelesblogger #themommycodes #lablogger #thisismotherhood #motherhoodsupport #mommyblogger #mentalhealthadvocate

This is an important reminder that as mommas, we often feel terrible, wrong, guilty even... ⁠ ⁠ For taking thirty minutes for ourselves. ⁠ ⁠ For telling each other that doing the grocery shopping ISN'T self care. ⁠ ⁠ That the meaning of 'self care' diminishes our own value and hierarchy of the all encompassing to do list for our families' well being. ⁠ ⁠ Taking care of yourself doesn't mean "me first." It simply means, "me too". ❤️⁠ #losangelesblogger #themommycodes #lablogger #thisismotherhood #motherhoodsupport #mommyblogger #mentalhealthadvocate

Grief does not equal to having a “negative” mindset. It has nothing to do with your “energy”, how many uplifting quotes you read a day. You’re not a pessimist, a downer, a negative person for grieving. Just a friendly reminder for whoever needs that reminder if they feel shamed by their grief. Grief is a reality that all of us will go through but most importantly what I’ve learned is that we need to understand each other and not push anyone to feel the way you’d rather them to. One that has not suffered loss and one that has, will eventually cross paths and look at one another differently…but beyond that moment, we can be supportive in so many ways before being in someone else’s shoes by listening to the “heavy” conversations as the most natural different reflections that life brings through permission, acceptance and not dumping trauma on someone else. ❤️
