This week we wanted to share why we chose "The Nurturing Parent" and what that means for us. We believe that a nurturing parent allows for the healthy growth and development of their little ones.
Here are 4 basics of how to be a nurturing parent to your babies.
This also may just serve as a reminder to cherish your little ones, show them love, accept them and all their feelings, and encourage them. By doing this we will be raising good human beings, it will make our parenting journey easier, and you will enjoy your little ones more when you embrace your nurturing side without the business and distractions that we encounter every day.
Being a nurturing parent builds trust and respect, emphasizes connection, and requires you to be present. This all builds the confidence and self-esteem of our young ones which allows them to develop into strong independent individuals.
We get into the basics but a nurturing parent has many other qualities as well. This may look different for each individual parent as well.
What does a nurturing parent look like for you?
Your homework is to embrace those nurturing instincts and hug and love your kids all you can this weekend, make it your intention with undivided attention! 🥰

45. CONNECTION BEFORE CORRECTION, FOUNDATION TO GENTLE & RESPECTFUL PARENTING EP. 4 REPLAY
28 Sep 2022
00:25:56
Since we are under construction and coming to you with new changes next week, we brought it back to one of our beginning episodes. Ep. 4 "Connection Before Correction" is all about why it is important and more helpful to try and connect before your correct your child's behaviors.
When raising our toddlers we should strive for a relationship based off of mutual trust and respect. This can be attained when we model how that looks with them. Gentle/Respectful parenting acknowledges that your kids may have big feelings and we can give them the words and space to express them. We do not have to correct but we can set boundaries and do not have to accept certain behaviors.
It is important to pay attention to our tone and best to try and redirect instead of trying to take control. When we connect we calm their brain which will help avoid bigger outbursts.
Your homework is to try not to say "no" to your little one today, keep a cool tone, and redirect! Let us know how it goes!

44. 3 REMINDERS THAT WILL HELP YOU MAKE MORE TIME FOR YOURSELF MAMAS !!
20 Sep 2022
00:20:04
Have you lost yourself in motherhood?
Are you so busy caring for the kids all day that you forget to feed yourself?
When is the last time you got a haircut?
What is one thing that you have been dying to do but could never find the time to get done?
Well, it is time to make time because it is now or never mama. Stop the mom guilt, stop the excuses, and schedule that time for yourself. Maintain your self-care routines and make sure that you are recharged and rejuvenated to give your kids the best version of yourself.
Reminder... we have the most important job that there is. We do so much and it goes unrecognized. There is no need for mom guilt when we have a never-ending to-do list on a day-to-day basis. We give you permission to make it a priority to take care of yourself as well. Let that soak in and think about what really makes you happy, switch it up but at least30 minutes a day do something for you. That can look like walking, running, cooking, praying, meditating, reading, dancing, taking a bath, or just sitting outside.
Your homework is to do something that absolutely fills you up today, even if it is just for 30 minutes!

The importance of rest is vital to our health and so necessary that we make it a priority to have guilt free rest days with our families.
Don't stress that your child does not have their schedule mapped out perfectly.
We give you the okay to stop overscheduling and make room for free play. I know we are all searching for kid's activities hoping to enhance your child's development but please trust that they learn as much just playing and exploring on their own.
Mom guilt is serious when you feel like your little ones are always bored but it's ok to be bored. Take advantage and rest or do something that is energizing for the body like getting into nature, or going for walks.

Are you worried about your kids depending too much on you? Well, we are their parents, aren't we? The best road to independence is through what's called INTERdependence.
They should be able to depend on us, which makes for a healthy relationship. Gentle parenting or attachment parenting is about building that foundation of trust so our kids feel comfortable becoming independent.
Independence is a normal and natural process for our kids. They want to learn how to do things on their own. It gives them a sense of pride.
In this episode you will learn why it is ok not to rush potty training, learning to walk, brush teeth, get dressed and read on their own. And when they do learn these things know that there will be regression at times. It's all part of the non-linear road to becoming truly independent.

What may seem like little feelings to us can be big feelings for our kids. These feelings can build up inside and lead to many behaviors that we may not like, which is why it is so important to let your kids know that we are here for them.
This is the foundation of gentle parenting. It is about mutual respect, teaching kids to manage their emotions, and modeling the behavior you want to see.
This style of parenting is recommended by most child development experts because: It’s better for kids’ AND parents’ mental health It fosters a stronger parent-child relationship It’s more effective for managing behavior in the long run
In this episode, we talk about how this looks and why it is so important.

PHRASES TO AVOID USING WITH OUR KIDS PT. 1 | EP. 120
05 Mar 2024
00:41:13
Welcome nurturing parents,
Today we are diving into the common phrases I, Mama Sareena, say pretty often. These common phrases are things that we say as a reaction and typically do not help our situation!
So in todays episode you will get -common phrases we say to our kids that DON'T HELP -why they don't help -what we can put inlace of those reactionary words
This is part 1 so look out for part 2 next week! We release episodes every Tuesday so stay tuned families ❤️
This week's discussion consists of Amma Lisa trying to convince us that there is no such thing as terrible twos... Maybe we need to look at it in another way to see they are really terrific twos!
Toddlers are just experiencing normal developmental stages. It is how we deal with these changes that guide it down a bumpy road or a not-as bumpy road. The better we understand what our kids are experiencing the better we can manage their "big feelings" with more compassion.
Depending on your parenting style during this stage it will greatly impact how our kids learn to interact with others. We want to support them and always make them feel secure and loved but also let them know when something is unacceptable because they are constantly in a process of learning.

Growing gardens are a lot like raising children. They both need love and attention, they thrive when they are in the sun, and they come with different needs that need to be individually tended to in order to help them grow best!

In our part of the world, it's getting warmer and plants are blossoming and blooming. Here is a reminder to get outside with your kids and grandkids, play with some dirt, have fun and learn some lessons on patience and the beauty in nature.

Even her husband walked into this birth with more knowledge and power to stand up for his partner. You will hear part 1 of her birth story this week and finish up with the postpartum and transition next week.
Hospital births can be very intimidating especially if you don't know what to expect so we hope that sharing this experience can give you more experience to know what could happen when the big day comes. Every experience will be different though and that does not make it less beautiful.

The last episode in our 5-part series preparing mothers for labor. This week we discuss how to create a birth plan to help our mamas get the best birth experience and feel empowered.
It is essential to take charge of your birth experience because you may not know if you will get another chance to go through it again. It is one of the most challenging but beautiful experiences you will ever have so make sure it is the experience you want!
You are in charge as it is your body, your baby and you run the show and not the doctors. They are there solely to catch the baby or make sure it is delivered safely.
After this 5-part series, we hope you mamas feel more confident and knowledgeable about your body and all the parts of getting your baby out in the most blissful way.
Delivering a baby has so many parts to it and in the midst of all the pain it is easy to throw everything out the window but if you come into it prepared with your support person on the same page we are sure you can make it a beautiful experience instead of a scary one if you are walking into the unknown!

26. BIRTHING SERIES PT. 4 - KNOW ABOUT THE INTERVENTIONS AHEAD OF TIME
17 May 2022
00:43:27
Sometimes, the reason we need these riskier birth interventions is because we have chosen a small intervention, which has led to a bigger intervention, which has then led to a riskier intervention. This is known as the cascade of interventions.
Knowledge is empowerment and this week, midwife Sharon, shares an abundance of knowledge on interventions.
What are some interventions? What may happen if you choose to accept the intervention and how to decide if you want the intervention.
Mama Sareena gave birth last week and welcomed Baby Aniston into our village! Thanks to this series she was able to have the birth experience she always wanted and felt much more confident advocating for her birth plan!
We can't wait to hear about her experience the 2nd time around after learning everything from speaking with the super loving and supportive midwife Sharon ❤️

24. BIRTHING SERIES PT. 2 - WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR BABY DURING LABOUR?
03 May 2022
00:33:01
Sometimes we get so caught up in preparing for birth and the pain that we are about to experience that we forget what the baby goes through during delivery!
When we are pregnant our babies only know the womb and are protected from bright lights, cold temperatures, loud noises, and are constantly being nourished. The journey out of their comfort zone is not an easy one either. They don't understand that they are separate from their mothers and what's waiting for them on the outside.
Our guest, Sharon Tolagson joins us again for the second part, what happens to our baby during labour. Learning what the baby goes through can help us plan and prepare for their experience after birth and how to best advocate for them!
Please share this episode with any pregnant mamas you may know. It is filled with a wealth of knowledge and we hope to help educate and empower all those that are soon to be mothers or even if it is not your first child!

23. BIRTHING SERIES PT. 1 - WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR BODY DURING LABOUR
26 Apr 2022
00:28:12
Do you actually know what is going on inside your body during labor?
Simply knowing and understanding how our bodies work when we are getting ready to give birth can make us feel more empowered going into it!
This week we have our first guest, Sharon Tolagson. Sharon is a very experienced midwife and registered nurse who is joining us for a five-part series to get our pregnant mamas ready for the most important day of our lives!
Please share this episode with any pregnant mamas you may know. It is filled with a wealth of knowledge and we have the discussions that most new mamas don't really have or hear about until we are going through it ourselves. And sometimes not even then!
Education is empowerment and giving birth is also one of the most empowering things we can experience as women. Some mamas give birth not even understanding all that their bodies go through and learning these things can give us so much pride in ourselves!

One thing you will definitely need is a baby wrap! This is a baby registry must have and if you are not having a baby shower then get one yourself. Even a used one since baby gear can be very pricey.
But in this weeks episode we discuss the importance of baby wearing. It is great for bonding, soothing and building your babies security.

FEELING TRIGGERED BY YOUR CHILDREN'S BEHAVIORS? HOW TO STOP YOUR REACTION & RESPOND TO YOUR KIDS | EP. 119
27 Feb 2024
00:44:33
Do you easily get triggered by your children's behaviors?
You are not alone parents! But there is a key thing to note here, and that is that maybe our kids aren't the ones triggering us.
In this weeks episode we will learn about -whats really triggering us -how to shift from anger to responsiveness -and a daily practice that will help us become more in tune with our feelings to be able to respond and not react
When you ask something of your kids does it feel like a battle you will never win?
We understand how hard it could be to get our kids to do the things we ask of them. This week we have some ways to help prevent starting those battles. Getting our kids cooperation is not easy but with some knowledge and techniques we can minimize the struggle and strengthen the relationship by encouraging healthy communication. This is a prequel to our last episode "back talk" so if you haven't listened to that one yet this is a good one to start with because when this goes wrong that's how we end up with our kids talking back.
Let us know what you think and if you have any questions!
Did you know talking back is a normal stage of development?
I know it's hard to accept but it is and that just means they are going through the motions of growing up! It shows they are voicing their opinions which is important. We want to encourage that in a positive way and in this week's episode Amma Lisa teaches us how to deal with our kids when they are going through this phase.
This episode has some very helpful tips on how to keep the situation from escalating and how to react or not.
Do you feel like you are always yelling at your kids?
Are you tired of reacting and want to learn how you can better address a difficult situation with your children?
Well, this week we get into an amazing conversation about managing our angry outbursts. Amma Lisa gives us some tools to navigate frustrating times with our littles and how to build our relationship instead of making it worse.
We hope you enjoy it and take away a few lessons like Mama Sareena does!
Share with us what you think is causing your angry outburst and which technique was useful!
Are you looking for activities to do with your kids?
Well, one of the easiest is just getting outside with them! You don't have to make it complicated. Get outside and go for a walk, sometimes you don't even need a destination in mind. Just see where your kids take you!
This week Amma Lisa and Mama Sareena have a little too much fun talking about all the benefits that come with just spending some time outside. Springtime is the most fun because we get to see everything coming back to life after winter.
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking about this exciting time of the year!
Please share with us some of your favorite spring activities!
One of the most important relationships that we must maintain throughout life is those with our siblings. It is such a fragile relationship that must be protected from the day it starts and in this week's episode, we discuss how to handle the struggles between siblings as parents.
Sometimes we just need to get to the root of the feelings behind the arguments/fights. Amma Lisa gives us some reminders about how to address and resolve the feelings with each child.
If you grew up with siblings you know what we are talking about.
If you have more than one child we are interested to hear how your kids get along. What are some things that help? What are some things they most commonly fight about?
Happy International Women's Month and Day (May 8th)
This week's episode is not our usual format but we wanted to acknowledge and celebrate us, women!
We are strong, beautiful, and contribute so much to our world. Sometimes most of it goes unseen. This month is here to remind us of what we are capable of and to stand up and support one another.
Women, mothers, aunts, daughters, sisters... we are all together and we must stay united. We have come a long way in the last 100 years and we have more to go. Let this be a time of remembrance, representation, and strive to continue to gain the recognition and equality we so very much deserve.

With all the excitement of a new baby coming into the world sometimes we forget about the mother that is actually growing this whole new human being!
As a mother it is physically tiring, we are going through a lot of changes, and it is hard on our bodies, feet, and mind. So don't forget to show the mamas a little extra love too, not just their bellies! Here are some ways to love and support a pregnant mama and action steps you can take to make her feel a little better!
We hope you enjoy and take it into consideration! Share with us anything you'd like to add through our platforms below!
Well, there can be. It may just take some mind work. Although we are creating something so beautiful it may be hard to look at our bodies the same. Some mamas really embrace their bumps while others find it difficult to cope with their new stretch marks, puffy face and growing feet!
Sometimes we just need to take a step back and learn that this is temporary and all for a much bigger purpose and that's where the beauty is! We are creating the next generation, beautiful souls, growing and feeding a whole human being inside of us and not everyone is granted that blessing. This week you will hear Mama Sareena and Amma Lisas thoughts on this beautiful phase of life!
One parenting struggle we all come across in every stage of their development... getting our kids to mind us. Sometimes it may feel impossible. But it all starts at the foundation of your relationship which we dive into in this episode.
Getting our kids to mind us is not easy and takes a lot of work for us as parents but once you get the basics of it, hopefully it will help in all other aspects of raising your kids.
We hope you enjoy this and if there are some things you are still struggling with we encourage you to reach out to us on our platforms below! We'd love to hear your questions!
This episode is in honor of Aunt Rae! Sareena's landlady that everyone would call Aunt who recently passed at the age of 97!
We hope that this is a reminder to you all to cherish your elders and soak them up while they are here with us. Whether it may be your grandparents, great grandparents, great aunts, and uncles, or just an elderly neighbor!
They have so much knowledge and wisdom to share with us and our kids it would be a shame to miss out on that exchange! They can teach us so much and vice versa.
So please reach out and show some love, we wouldn't be here without them. Send a text, make a call, or write a letter! They would LOVE getting a letter in the mail!
We would love to hear about a beautiful memory you have with a loved one! You can connect with us through our social media below!
