Hey there!
My name is Jaimi, and I am a mom who loves to encourage moms in the season of raising children, making a home, and staying focused on the end goals of motherhood. I am the mom of four, including a set of twins. I am also a military wife, writer and “professional” playdate planner. We have to meet mom friends somehow, right?!
I studied early childhood education and teaching in college, so I was able to study a lot about child psychology, family dynamics and what research shows about those two factors in the life of children. I decided to channel that background and the feeling like I could really help moms who were just trying to survive at home caring for their families.
The stay at home mom survival guide is my little ministry. It is a resource for mothers, parents, caregivers and teachers.

Letting Go of Shame
Beaming with a smile and tears in her eyes, she quietly whispers to me, “I found myself.” I give her my full attention. She tells me that for years she had stopped doing the things that she loved and now she feels, once again, a passion for it. When she was a younger lady she had a fire in her...
Encouraging Kids to be Thankful
Our family has a tradition of sharing the favorite part of our day with each other. We usually share while we are all together eating dinner. It is one of the ways we are encouraging kids to be thankful every day. Even on nights when daddy is away the girls will make it a point to ask him over the...
Simple Home Decor
As a SAHM, I work at home. I understand that 'work-at-home mom' implies that money is made, but I still work IN my home, no paycheck...oh well. As a SAHM, I am very home-centered: I care for kids, a house, a husband, a pet, the finances, etc. My main duties are home-related. Since my 'work' is...
Snowball Toss Indoors!
If it is too cold outside for your little ones to go and play. Being them inside for a snowball toss indoors! Toddlers, preschoolers and even school age kids can all play this game together. My four kids played it one afternoon and had a ball...no pun intended! A snowball toss indoors is easy to...
Cotton Ball Toddler Fine Motor Activity
Kids love cotton balls. They are so versatile as a hands-on fine motor and sensory activity. I grabbed some cotton balls for a cotton ball fine motor activity for my twins. The twins were so little! I can’t believe how fast time really does fly. This activity counts as a one item activity for kids...
Lead a Fitness Challenge Group
We moms tend to push aside our own goals to support the needs of our families. I spent many years doing this. Exercise did not happen, quiet time was never enough, and it gets frustrating. Let’s all get back on track. We can even get our mom-friends involved in getting fit together. If you are a...
We Have Each Other
My 17 month old did not sleep well, and as I mentioned, my 4-year-old son was up by 6:30am on most mornings. From the moment I get out of bed, it is move-move-move, until bedtime. Tonight I hit the wall. Single parenting is tough. I feel that I have no right to complain. My husband is not even...
Seek Happiness as a Mom
{Post by Heather} In the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a couple of encounters with other women that have left me feeling less than. It’s happened before and unfortunately, it’s bound to happen again. I know it’s not something that women do on purpose or because they’re judging me, but it irks me...
Free or Cheap Activities for Kids in the Hi-Desert of California
Many felt sorry for us when we had to move from the almost-tropical paradise of San Diego to the hi-desert of southern California. My husband was one of them! I kept an open mind, and figured there would be plenty of hidden gems (or not-so-hidden) to keep the kids learning and playing. I found a...
