We constantly combat many different things coming at us all at once; we can help our reactions to those situations to prevent a volcanic eruption from happening by taking a moment: just breathe.
Well, let me just tell you…
Heleniq A graces our space again with a wonderfully enlightening topic of stretching yourself spiritually, going beyond initial reactions. I know I could always use some growth in this area, so her words have brought me comfort and awareness. You’re sure to take away tidbits from this post. (more…)
As a mom, I have never been able to use the Cry It Out method. Completely not my style. When I hear my baby, I feel compelled to go to them, even if I am oh-so-tired. It tugs at my heart-strings and creates a ball inside that I simply cannot ignore. That’s not saying my kids don’t ever cry. But, sleep-wise, my sanity could not handle that technique.

These tips and tricks would have been extremely helpful to me with my son, Treyton, as a first-time mama. When I get a memory that pops up on my social media feed about how ‘wonderfully’ he slept (at 1-2 hour increments), I am stunned at my naive self. haha Hopefully you take away as much from this as me, and if it provides a little help, even better!

Once upon a time, I was a single mother. Time runs especially short when you’re going it alone, so I definitely relate to this guest post from Laneic Lavalle. Self-care gets pushed aside in parenthood regularly, so as a single mama self-care can seem like a far-fetched fantasy. Read on to make that fantasy a more reachable reality… (more…)
