Struggling with mental health and Christmas!
First snow day and getting the Covid vaccine, man this week was a doozy!
The events of this past week. From trying to enjoy the small moments, to crying about all the moments, to band concerts, and our first snowfall.

I used to sing this song to my children, but tonight it was exactly what I needed to hear.
How the phrase, Motherhood is a Relationship, helped me find peace and contentment in my week.
For years I’ve wanted to have a healthy self imagine, to love myself for just being me. But for years what I thought of myself was mostly what I thought where else thought of me. This year I decided was the year I’d put the time and energy into learning who I am and why that’s enough. Here’s the first party of what I’ve learned so far.
I take my body for granted so many times and treat it horribly in the meantime. Here’s what I really want to say to my beautiful breathing body!
Why is it I just feel bad that I keep eating treats!? Why does my brain choose to focus on the one aspect that I’m not doing particularly well at instead of all the good I’m doing!?
What a weird weird time to be alive right now, especially as a mom. How do I help my children feel safe and secure when there is so much unknown in the world. How can I, as a mom, help my children with their school work on top of the emotional concern on top of keeping up with the house work and all the meals!?
