Hi, I´m Jaimi

My name is Jaimi, and I am a mom who loves to encourage other mothers 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. The blog has really grown from where it started. It is a resource for mothers, parents, and even teachers.

How to Teach an Infant Activity: Free Download

As moms, we sometimes do not identify as teachers. Teaching seems more prescriptive than being a mom many days. We react to our kids. We meet their needs. We guide. We do teach them. Every mom is a teacher whether you have a teaching degree or not. Every time we read to them, instruct them to eat...
