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.

No One is a Perfect Homemaker

No One is a Perfect Homemaker

{Post by Heather} There was a day before I had children where my house was “just” a house. It was a place for my furniture, my clothes and shoes. A place for me to crash after working all day. A place to eat food, watch tv or hang out with friends. I didn’t mind that the walls weren’t painted or...

One Item Activity: Bubbles

Looking back on this video makes me miss the simple days. As the mom of one, I felt like I was managing life pretty well. Clothes were folded and put away, dinner was made and ready to eat by 5 o'clock, and I had so much one-on-one time to spend with my toddler-my only child. That is the one thing...
