Hi, my name is Stacie, Mom, Mommy, Mother, and Mama too the kids….My hubby just calls me “babe”, especially when he wants me to bring something to him that he’s forgotten down stairs, or is in need of something you don’t forget when going to the bathroom…:-)

I am a mom of 2 amazing girls ages 10 months old, and 11 going on 12 years of age, and 3 teenage boys, which I am quickly learning that the smelly socks just come with the territory.  Yes, what a huge age gap, almost 12 years of no babies, to deciding to do it all over again, and having the perfect little Angel….hence her birth name “Angel” . Well since deciding to do it all over again, I am being reminded of all of the different phases your babies go through and lately,, I’ve noticed that she is experiencing a little separation anxiety, which is probably why I decided to have another baby after 11 years, as I also were going through a little separation anxiety of motherhood….anyhow, my  Angel doesn’t want me to leave her in the mornings to come to my awesome place of work, and sanctuary,  “Mommy Relief”, and in the evenings, she doesn’t want to let me out of her site.   So, in research of the topic, separation anxiety, I stumbled across these great tidbits that can help to relieve all of the stress associated with this time.  Try the below helpful tips from babycenter.com, and hopefully we can walk away without feeling guilty.

Use a short and sweet goodbye routine. Don’t sneak out — your saying goodbye is important for your baby’s emotional development. But don’t wait for all protests to cease before you finally leave. Rather, say goodbye once and then go. And once you do leave, don’t come back repeatedly to check on your baby. Give him the chance to adjust to being with the sitter. Even if she’s wailing when you walk out the door, she’ll probably stop soon afterward and settle in with his new friend.
