The things we can't control

  



The things we can't control 

_____________________________________________

Dated: May 2021 

3 years ago my daughter was brought to the ER after jumping on the couch and bitting nearly through her lip after falling. Due to how deep the bite was they needed to knock her out to give her stitches to close up the wound. My daughter showed toughness and strength that day. As for me it showed me how precious our children truly are. As a parent we never want to see our children in pain yet alone hurt. Sitting there not being able to help was the hardest thing I had to do. Watching them pin her down for an IV put me at the edge of my seat. Watching her motionless made me tear up as I was feeling her pain. The biggest thing I learned that day was we can not control everything and things happen so we can learn from them. From that day on my daughter has learned what can happen when jumping on the couch as hasn't since.

Welcome to EmpowerMama  _______________________________________ My name is Jenny and I'm a mom of 6 beautiful children. I'm a certified doula, artist/writer, stay at home mom, and raising my children to enjoy every part of life. I created EmpowerMama to help bring light to all types of motherhood.  Either you are expecting your first of 5th you are welcome here. EmpowerMama is a place to ask questions, find guidance, build a community and most of all a place to make new mama friends. After becoming a mom I lost many friends because they weren't in the same stage in life as I was. They didn't understand that my children needed to come first then going out to a party. Because of that I started feeling alone, board and in need of making friends. As I continued having children going to mom groups, and mom social groups became tougher. I've joined many groups on social media, but found many to be more negative than I liked. That's when I decided to created EmpowerMam...

The unspoken truth behind my childhood

  The unspoken truth behind my childhood   ______________________________________________ “To speak the truth you need to know the truth” My childhood was nothing but challenging. Being taken from my biological family to then being brought to an orphanage to then getting adopted a few years later wasn’t the worst of the challenges. Unfortunately that was just the beginning.  My early years were filled with many unknowns that are still unknown to this day. Sure! I have my moments when I want to learn more and understand why everything I went through happened...but then there are those days where I do not want to know. I do not care to learn about my childhood past.  I'm sure many adopted children, adults can relate to this feeling. However, since being adopted I've always felt like a failure. I would never fit into their life/family no matter how hard they tried to "fix" me. I was such a problem child that they needed to do "holding therapy" thinking that wo...

6 and counting!

6 and counting!  Back in the day large families were common. Many children were raised in big families. However, times changed and the thought of 5+ children seems less common than it once was. But why should it matter to anyone else how many children you are raising? Why should it matter how a family chooses to live? The simple answer is IT DOESNT MATTER. If you aren’t raising the children, if you aren’t in anyway affected by the number of children one has then it’s not your concern. I am a proud mom of 6 beautiful children under the age of 9. We chose to have a big family because both my husband and I are adopted. We wanted to create our own biological family to carry on our name for years to come. Just because we chose to have many doesn’t mean others need to as well. There are always two sides to every story. Don’t allow yourself to only see one side of things.
