I’m Changing My Parenting Mindset – No More “It Gets Better”

January 10

I was walking out of the thrift store, arms bogged down with all my treasures (and a firetruck… and a filthy Scooby Doo vehicle… because that’s the only way I got my two toddlers to participate in my thrifting adventures.) I let a nice, old man go in front of me in the checkout line … Continued

How to Practice Feeling Content This Holiday Season

November 28

I’ll be honest with you. It’s not often I feel content. Call it a character flaw. Call it a strange little personality quirk, but I’ve always been someone who is looking forward and on to the next thing and not appreciating where I am.
