I like to say that I’m a “sleep person.” Not a morning person or a night person… just a mama who really, really loves her precious sleep. But a few years ago I came to a crossroad and desperately needed to make a change in my life and do things differently. There was just one problem – I didn’t have
Overwhelm can be a daily struggle for moms if we let it because we’re “needed” around the clock and through each and every one of those 365 days on the calendar. There are no breaks, sick-days, or excuses. We’re always on-call and need to be ever-ready for the unexpected. So, feeling overwhelmed can be a day to day struggle if
As moms, one of the things we need the most but probably get the least is a consistent quiet time. And I’m not talking about the 2 seconds you break free to go to the bathroom.

Moms today are under more pressure to get it all right than that fancy little Instant Pot resting on every mom’s kitchen counter. You may think the greatest pressure moms face is to get it all done, but I want to challenge that thought for a moment. I believe the greatest stress mothers carry every day is the feeling that
There are days – those days – when the sun goes down way before I’m ready, and my too long and largely untouched to-do list must get rolled over to tomorrow – AGAIN. When my flawlessly planned day gets sideswiped because my toddler wakes up with a fever of 102.6 and is screaming. Or when I’m driving home after dropping
I know every mother has asked herself this question at least once, “am I really a good mother?” Or maybe you’ve mulled over that question many, many times. The thing is, it isn’t an easy one to answer. That’s because there isn’t a mold of a perfectly “good mom” for us all to fit into. We all make mistakes and
