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.

The Power of a Mother’s Presence

The Power of a Mother’s Presence

As a child, I don't remember a day where my mom was not there. I am told my mom had to put me in a home daycare for a week after I was born, so she could transition from day shift to night shift. I was home with her all day, and my dad was home at night when she had to work. She basically did not...
