As September is rolling along I realize it is National Self Care month! I am all about self care. When I was in graduate school one of the most important components of my counseling program was self care. They taught us if you don’t take care of yourself how on earth are you going to […]

When my friends ask me “how are you doing during this crazy time?” I say, “the rest of the world is feeling like I have felt the past three years since I’ve had babies and moved to a small town.” Regardless, it’s been a challenging time for all in their own unique way. We are […]

It’s true….. I HAVE LOST my *&^%%%!! More than once in the past few weeks. As I talked to my friends I realized they have too. I realized I am not alone. I am not my “best” momma when I’m constantly being crawled on, whined to, and being a restaurant. I am my best when […]

I remember it all too well. The time in my life I REALLY needed friends. You know, the time when your heart is shattered into a million pieces and you have NO clue on how you will ever feel whole and fully yourself again. The time you’re laying on the bathroom floor crying wondering how […]
