From Diapers to Dreams: Reclaiming My Hobbies After the Toddler Phase
Today, I get some time to myself, and it’s in these moments that I wonder: Who am I when I’m not a mom? The role of a mother has been all-consuming for me, and that has been totally by choice. This wonderful experience has been the most amazing I’ve had in my entire life! The…

A Most Beautiful Day
Today, self-care looks like opening all the windows and letting the sunshine in. It’s a beautiful day. Blue sky, no clouds. Fresh air flowing into every room.

Another Day Ends With Promises for Tomorrow
The day is over and, like most days, I feel like I wasn’t a good enough mom. It’s been one of those weeks, when there’s hardly sleep. Gravity feels like it’s turned up, weighing down harder than usual. And of course, my kid is always full of energy. I love to watch him play and…
