The Lion Mom Blog

I enjoy cooking and baking. I like making new things and figuring out what works. I love when I get to the point of cooking or baking without having to go back and reference a recipe. I had the idea recently of finding a cinnamon roll recipe and making them from scratch. The only issue…

As my daughter’s birthday quickly approaches, I wanted to do a quick blog about my best c-section recovery tips. I never expected I would need a c-section. I had a very healthy pregnancy with my first born, and she was not breech. My birth plan was to deliver vaginally with no drugs. How funny it…

I am writing this post because I feel stuck. I typically make a blog post when I am hit with inspiration, and I can type a whole post out on my laptop or phone with ease. Lately, though, I’ve been stuck. In more ways than one. Yes, my blogging has felt stuck. I have ideas…

We are going to get practical on this post! Bulk shopping... do you or do you not? Should you or should you not? Most of the time we think of Costco or Sam’s Club when we’re thinking of a business owner or a family with a lot of kids. I know that’s what I always…

I know you hear it all the time, love yourself, fill your cup first, self love is so important (and so on). We hear it all over the place, and yet actually doing it is not so easy as it seems. If you’re a mama like me, your days are filled from wake up to…

Let me just say, this post is probably gross. LOL If you have a very weak stomach, I would say go ahead and turn back now. I am sharing because I had a revelation recently, and I feel like it’s a big deal. I vividly remember the first time my daughter got a stomach bug.…

Like many of you, school started for us this week. It wasn’t just any year though, it is the first year of school for my oldest child. It’s our first first day of school ever. And also like many of you, it’s been emotional, although mostly just for me and not her. Let me just…

I want to start with a warning. We are about to get into a new territory. An emotional and dark place for me personally, and sensitive topics that I haven’t publicly talked about. This is one of the experiences, though, that has lead me to be the lion mom I now am. I also want…

Let’s talk FOOD. One of this world’s great loves (or is that just for me??). As a mom, meals and food can become a tedious topic. Meal time can be a hassle, and cooking can become a juggling act with a baby on your hip and a hot stove in front of you. Recently, I…

Did I get your attention? Haha! Despite what D word you might be thinking of, I am actually talking about... DATING! Especially as a single mom. My older sister has a hilariously real blog about being a single mom and dating. I don't think I could ever be quite as witty as her, so I'll…
