Ariel | helping moms build income from home

These might seem super simple, but I swear they really help to make us all be more present.

AI is an incredible tool and I know that I want to help other mom use it to make Internet money so that they can work from home and don’t have to ever miss any of those little moments with their kids… but I also never want tech to be the reason that I wasn’t present enough to soak in the short special childhood years

1995 but also with a very heavy dose of Dr. Becky @drbeckyatgoodinside and Montessori, IYKYK

That quick dopamine you get when you pick up your phone and look at literally any app is so tempting… but I try my best to put my phone away as much as possible to the point where sometimes I forget where it is and I have to literally catch up on texts. And honestly, I’d rather that be the case than have my kids remembering us playing while I’m glued to my phone.

I don’t know about you, but I watched a lot of TV growing up and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that it’s so overstimulating now. So I find that for everyone’s mental emotional well-being, less is better.

Or go outside and swing or jump on the trampoline or color or do a craft or cook together or see if my daughter wants to get involved with literally anything that I’m doing! Yes, it does make the task take longer because she’s a kid and she’s learning how to do it in the moment, but if I’m present enough and not rushing, those become some of our sweetest moments 💕

I don’t have all the answers and I don’t know what the best right way to use it is, but I know that if I ask myself, “ how can I try to use this for good? And to help other people.?’ then I’m at least trying to do my best to be intentional.

The library is where it’s at if you want to roll back! We could spend hours at the library going through every graphic novel and finding new chapter books. 📚

I’m a mom trying to figure it out along the way.

I’m sure there are plenty of other ways to give your kids a 90’s childhood…hello VHS 📼 only vibes. But these are the ones that feel possible for us right now, so this is where I’m starting. Are you doing the 90s thing too with your kids? What types of changes have you made?
