My son has had a viral skin infection for over a year now. #ad

Have you ever heard of Molluscum? It's a rash-like skin disease that causes bumps on a child’s skin.

Well, around 2 years old, my son was diagnosed with this skin infection on the back of his leg. Now, at 3.5 years old, he is still suffering from it.

Sadly, most pediatricians will tell parents not to worry, it will go away naturally. This may be true for some children but it wasn’t for our little boy.

Finally, as his #Molluscum began to spread and worsen, we demanded some sort of help. So, we were referred to a dermatologist.

After only one treatment, his Molluscum had shrunk 50% in size.

Parents, if your child is diagnosed with this – don’t wait. See a dermatologist as soon as you can so it doesn’t become a real problem for your child.

4 years ago today, at this time, I was saying “I DO” to the love of my life. I’m so grateful for this journey.

So much has changed since then. We’ve lost some people along the way. We’ve welcomed two beautiful boys into our lives. So much has changed but our love has remained the same.

May we always love this hard and live our lives with joy. 🥂💍

5 Self-Care Courses You Should Be Taking ASAP (AD)

With the holidays coming, I love to dig deep into my spirituality and self-care. The holidays are beautiful but they seem to trigger neglect of selves for many of us – especially mamas who are trying to do it all.

In the JumpStart Self-Care & ReENERGIZE Your Life courses by Michelle Burke @energycatalystgroup & @lilamaniart….

I am learning how to build my own personal toolkits to create a more balanced and fulfilled life – which includes asking for help, communicating, and letting go of small stressors.

One of my greatest joys is watching these boys grow! Here are all of our Halloweens since 2018 🖤 #halloweenflashback #halloween2021

People are saying it’s #NationalSonsDay so I want to share how much I love these little boys.

They test me in so many ways. The tests make me a stronger, more consistent mother. They remind me of what sunshine, family, and true love really means.

Every day I get to watch them as they discover new things, learning how to be brothers and individuals. They are walking, talking little miracles who are going to change the world in incredible ways.

Because of them, I value my life more than ever. I love myself sooo much because they showed me how important my role to guide and set an example is.

It’s no wonder why I changed my blog’s direction after having my first son. Self-love became more important than ever. Motherhood taught me to dig deep, heal my wounds, and take charge of my life.

Having two sons is the greatest gift I’ve been given. 💙💙
