Happy birthday, Ashton! I can’t believe today my bubbie, shugie bear, love dumplin is 5 years old!
.
Ashton’s current obsession is spelling things. He wants to know how to spell EVERYTHING and asks everyone to spell with him. So what better way to celebrate his birthday than with his very own spelling bee! I made him a little stage, gave everyone a little plastic microphone and we got to spelling!
.
Ashton and his two cousins each had words set out for their age group and then he decided to show off at the end by spelling one of his favorite movies The Addams Family! It was so much fun and Ashton had the best time💛

Can we take a second to talk about mom guilt?😩
.
These past couple weeks have been pretty hectic for me. It’s been a mixture of a lot of work, a long a$$ to do list of mundane errands (adulting sucks 😩) and then some really tough days in motherhood. Drained is an understatement. So today, since I have a tiny break from the boys, I cleared my schedule, decided not to do any adulting and instead do absolutely nothing. My plan was to sit in my pajamas, binge watch a show and get something delicious delivered. It was going to be amazing.
.
One hour into my amazing chillax day- guilt creeped in. How selfish of you to actually enjoy this time without your kids… You have kids so there is no time to be lazy- you have to provide for them!… You have a business now- there are NO days off!… I know you see that big ass pile of laundry sitting there… How dare you ignore that to-do list…
.
I sat there with these thoughts taunting me for a good hour. And just when I started to get dressed for the day cause I was convinced I needed to abandon my lazy day, I gave myself a mental slap in the face. B&$@h you are no good to anyone if you’re running on fumes! Rest isn’t a luxury- it’s a necessity. And you aren’t getting a enough of it. You not only need this day to yourself, you deserve it. So I pushed those thoughts out of my head, got back under the covers and ordered myself some sushi🙌🏽 And I’m so damn happy I did.
.
The moment you become a mom, you’re overcome with this pressure to be everything for everyone all at the same time. And we just keep pushing and pushing ourselves, no matter how drained, because if we don’t we’re fearful that something will fail and we’ll be deemed a “bad mom”. It’s time that we start giving ourselves the grace we deserve. How can we be everything for everyone else but leave nothing for ourselves? It’s not an exaggeration when mothers are compared to superheroes cause we really are. But even superheroes deserve a day-off❤️

I had such a great time chatting with @khadeeniam and @iamdevale on the @deadassthepodcast ☺️ They are so open, kind and most importantly REAL🙌🏽 We talked about so many things like marriage, divorce, coparenting, gentle parenting and raising a child with autism. I hope you all love the episode just as much as I loved being a guest❤️ Click the link in my bio to take a listen!

I have always made all of the cakes for my boys birthdays even though I absolutely hate making cakes 😩 I used to have a cake business that was thriving and had tons of clients but I hated making cakes so much that I just up and quit one day😩 But every year for my kids bdays, I start rolling my eyes and stomping my feet because I know it’s time to dust off the ol’ spatula and get to work😩 The only cake I was ever genuinely excited about, and to this day remains my favorite cake I’ve ever made, is CJ’s Wall-E cake I made for his 2nd birthday. It took me 3 days and sleepless nights but it’s still my most proud culinary creation of all time🙌🏽
.
Well this year, due to the pandemic, I’ve decided to keep it low key and make just a few cupcakes to celebrate Ashton’s bday. I mean there is no sense in making a whole cake just for a few people, right?! Can you tell how excited I am?!😂 I can’t wait for you all to see the theme! But in the meantime, enjoy all of the cakes I’ve made for Ashton and a few that I made for CJ (before influencing, I was terrible at remembering to take pictures 😩). Can you tell which ones were taken professionally and which were taken with a flip phone?😂😂😂😂

Oh the struggle we have endured to get Ashton to the point where he actually lets us brush his teeth. This year, it is my goal to put his oral care first as tooth brushing is one of his biggest and only sensory issues. We’ve had lots of tears, temper tantrums and chasing him down the hall just to get a couple scrubs in before he dashes off again! But this year, we finally figured out the trick so we don’t have to wrestle Ashton to clean his chompers. All it takes is a little family time and @quip, a “big boy” toothbrush #quipPartner
.
Like most little bros, they wanna be just like their older siblings. And Ashton is obsessed with his and copies everything they do! So I got Ashton a #quip Kids Smart Electric Toothbrush that looks JUST like the adult brushes (just smaller for little mouths) and asked CJ to start brushing his teeth with us so Ashton can mimic what he does. And it actually worked! We’ve finally got an oral health routine that is easy, fun and (most importantly) EFFICIENT since the @quip app allows me to track Ashton's brushing behaviors and track good habits.
.
So if you want to add @quip to your or your kids' self-care routine this New Year, you can get $10 off your first Smart Electric Toothbrush using code KATRYCE at http://getquip.com/katryce.

I have been in tears on and off all morning about this. Ashton has grown so much and reached so many milestones but this right here has touched me more than anything. For the first time Ashton is finally showing sympathy for others. This is something many doctors and therapists told me would never happen. My heart is so full right now❤️ PS. Someone please get Spielberg or Oprah on the line because my acting skills are top notch😂

Just sprinkling a little Sunday cuteness on your timeline today🥰
I can’t believe that in two weeks my baby will be 5 years old and no longer a toddler😩 He’s gonna be a big boy 😢😢😢 I still haven’t figured out how we’re gonna celebrate. But this year is especially important because he’s actually starting to understand what a birthday is and is getting excited about his😩 Any pandemic friendly birthday ideas for y’all insta-nephew?!?!
.
I don’t know how she does it but @d2dfocus always gets GQ poses out of Ashton 😂 She’s the GOAT🙌🏽

Merry Christmas from my boys and I! Please enjoy this caption that I 100% stole from @d2dfocus because it perfectly summed up our Christmas tradition and I was too lazy to do my own 😂 📸: @d2dfocus
.
Merry Christmas from my family! This is my absolute #1 favorite day of the year!!!
.
In Mexican tradition, we have our big Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve aka Noche Buena. My mom, sisters and I and all of our little families go to church, have a big dinner (and drinks), kids always do a little impromptu dance performance, we give them their first gift which is our matching Christmas PJS and then we send them to bed to wait for Santa. Meanwhile, the adults indulge in more drinks (and more guacamole🥑) and we sit around and play games until midnight when Santa drops off the gifts and we run to wake up the kids. That’s right! They open gifts at midnight, not in the morning.
.
Is it a huge cluster $&@!? Yes! Would I ever change it? Absolutely not!
.
Thanks @bonnielove_d 🙌🏽 That caption was perfect! 😂😂😂😂😂

Happy Sunday from me and these two goofs aka the loves of my life ❤️ 📸: @d2dfocus
.
For many, this is just the most weekend before Christmas but to moms, this is go time. We gotta Christmas shop, wrap gifts, plan out menus, do corny Christmas stuff with the kids, make gingerbread houses- all that. And if you’re in the DMV, it’s very likely that your kids will now be unexpectedly home with you this week so the little time you thought you had to yourself to prepare has now been cut even shorter😩 God speed to all my fellow mommas this is week. We got this!🙈😩🥴
.
Have y’all finished Christmas shopping or did you decide to just do gift cards this week? I pretty much Amazon’d everything 😂

I couldn’t be prouder of my bestie @smack_like_jack and her new mini calendar & reflection journal Daily Affirmations for a Bad Bitch 🙌🏽 It features song lyrics by female artists to inspire you to be a bad bitch every day! If you need a Christmas gift for yourself or a fellow baddie, order now! Also, please excuse Ashton walking around in a hoodie and underwear. #boymomlife

I like to consider myself an expert gift giver. I’m like reeeaaallly good at it. But, for the first time in forever, I was super stumped on what to gift each of my parents for Christmas😩 Then I was introduced to @mixbook and thought what about gifting memories this year? After about 5 minutes on their site, I chose my design, uploaded my pictures and placed my order. Just a few days later my order was at the door, I wrapped it and checked my parents off my list. #ad
.

The process is painless, taking only about 5 minutes for me to create my book and order. And with their new app, creating your perfect picture book is even easier!

.

Hey, Tribe! There are quite a few new tribe members so I thought this would be a good time to share a little about who I am and what you can expect here☺️ 📸: @d2dfocus
.
My name is Katryce, I’m 34 years old and I’m a mom of two boys☺️ I am very transparent and open with certain aspects of my life because I feel it’s important to shed light on the highs and lows of motherhood instead of just glamorizing society’s idea of what a “perfect” mom should be.
.
I’m on joke time 98% of the time. Laughter is therapeutic so I try to integrate humor into almost everything I do 😬 I also curse a lot but that’s because I’m a chef and curse words add seasoning to my sentences🤷🏽‍♀️
.
Speaking of me being a chef, I share many of my family’s favorite recipes here on the page and I even have a cookbook, Sear. Whip. Drizzle.: A Collection of Recipes Moms Will Love. Because my kids’ tastebuds are ever changing, I always have to come up with new recipes that’ll peak their interest. If they love it, I’ll share. If they don’t- I’ll never speak of it😂
.
My youngest son is autistic and I share a lot about his journey here on the page but in more detail on my blog. He has grown and progressed tremendously and I share what tools and resources I use to help him reach his milestones.
.
I love to learn and use my hands so I do a lot of DIY’ing and love to share it with the tribe. I love power tools so I’m always building something and I love my glue gun so I’m always crafting ☺️
.
Red wine is my love language. That’s all I have to say about that.
.
Once your join the tribe, you’re my home girl. I will talk to you just like I do my sisters and friends. Now while I do try to connect and respond to as many mommas as I can each day, sometimes I can’t get back to everyone because #momlife 🙈 Please know I’m not ignoring you😩
.
Last but certainly not least, we are a community of moms that uplift and support one another. We do not judge each other. We may not agree with everyone’s parenting styles but we respect one another. You’ll see on #mommatalkmonday in my stories that we are a wild bunch 😂 And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love it here & I hope you will too❤️

This past weekend in Cabo for MOMent in Paradise was amazing. @momredefined you should be so proud of yourself. You brought together 100+ moms who uplifted and inspired one another (and we partied hard too😂). We linked up with old friends and made new friends. It was everything. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of it and I can’t wait till the next one!

Happy Tuesday, Tribe! Since posting Ashton’s haircut video on Thursday, I’ve received a ton of DM’s from mommas with children who have developmental delays or autism. Many of them were asking about Ashton’s story, progress and what we did to get him where he’s at.
.
Let me start out by saying that I 100% know how you feel right now. Overwhelmed, scared and anxious (just to name a few of the emotions😢). Trust me- I was a hot ass mess the first few months. But God made you your baby’s momma cause he knew you would give that child the brightest future possible. So, even though you are trying to figure out what to do and where the heck to start, just know that you got this!🙌🏽
.
I am trying to respond to as many DM’s as possible, but just in case I miss you, almost everything I’ve implemented and incorporated into Ashton’s daily routine is outlined on my website. Just click the link in my bio, click “Ashton’s Journey Through Autism” and it will take you to step one. From there you can access all 4 of the others steps.
.
I also periodically do IG lives to answer your questions and just to chat with other mommas who understand. I hope this information can help you as it has helped my baby so much. But please remember that I am not a doctor. Just a mom sharing my baby’s story and what we did to get him where he’s at now.
.
Oh! And welcome to the tribe new mommas! We’re so happy you’re here!

It’s been so many years since I was in school that helping my kids with homework is like helping them learn a foreign language that I don’t know. And don’t get me started on this new way of math. But then we tried out @Brainly, a 24/7 homework helping app. And it has changed the homework game! #ad
.
Brainly not only helps you to find the correct answers with step-by-step instructions on how to do so, but it also pairs you with real teachers to help you and your child get the help you need! So, if you are just as bad with homework help as I am, look into #Brainly. It’ll change ya life! Take a look at my stories to see how Brainly works and how easy it is to use! ☺️
