Welcome!

My name is Tasheena and I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m a teacher turned stay-at-home mom who loves yoga, decluttering, singing loudly in the car, and making memories with my family.

I’ve been married to my college sweetheart since 2013 and we have two beautiful little girls, Goose (7) and Belly (5), plus a sweet kitty named Nico. Although we were born and raised in the Golden State, we currently call South Carolina home.

In 2017, I left my job as a kindergarten teacher to focus more on my family. I started The Cinnamon Mom to share a piece of my life, connect with other modern mamas, and satisfy my need for creativity.

Across The Cinnamon Mom, you’ll find my honest, real-life mommy experiences combined with 10 years of child development insight. Although I embrace an authoritative parenting style, this space is intended to be a judgment-free zone for anyone maneuvering through life with young children. There’s nothing that can prepare you for each season of parenting, but I’ve learned that a little support goes a long way. None of us have it all together and my goal is to be a friend, offer some helpful advice, and encourage you through all of your moments, good and bad.

And since mom life is multifaceted, I cover a wide range of topics! You can expect to read about managing a household, minimalism, fun learning activities, meal planning, easy recipes, and finding your sanity despite the chaos.

Thanks so much for joining me! Be sure to follow our daily adventures on Instagram and Facebook!

Talk to you soon!
