A Busy Mom’s Morning Routine

I'm going to tell you the secret to the perfect morning routine... There are many factors that will drive when and how your morning routine happens. However, I challenge you to have an intentional morning routine.

Mental Health Awareness

May is a time to raise awareness of those living with mental health issues and to help reduce the stigma surrounding getting help. Nearly 450 million people worldwide are currently living with a mental illness, yet nearly two thirds of people with a known mental illness never seek treatment. This is my story.

Like many parents, whether working or stay at home, I spend 99% of my time taking care of others and trying to fulfill their expectations. My morning time is selfish time! No one but me is allowed to dictate what this time looks like!

Spring Cleaning!

When Winter starts to fade and every now and then a day pops up with sunshine and slightly warmer weather I start getting the itch to throw open the windows and knock down the cobwebs! Is there anything more satisfying then kicking the doom and gloom of winter out of your house with a good scrub and purge?

Journaling For Self Improvement

If your read any self-help book or sign up for any self improvement program some form of journaling is always a key factor. Why is that? I was never one to keep a diary growing up but the more I learn about the benefits of journaling, maybe I should have. Journaling can help us with everything from achieving goals to building self-confidence, improving communication skills to reducing stress and anxiety. I don't think it really even matters how you journal, only that you do!

Why You Need Self-Care

Do you take care of yourself? I mean beyond basic hygiene, sustenance and sleep. What does it mean to truly take care of yourself? The term “self-care” is one we have all heard but what does it really mean? Is it Starbucks and a manicure? It might be, for some. What you need in order to truly care for yourself is entirely unique to you.

Creativity is the Spark We Need!

To create something, is creativity. Your creativity cannot be compared to creations of others. It cannot be bad or less than. Creativity is an expression of you and your unique perspective of the world. Not everyone will appreciate your specific creativity, but it isn’t for them, it’s for you. Here are some examples and tips for how you can add creativity to your life.
