Somedays, it’s so hard to trust. Trust that it’s all working out. Trust that your child is on the path that is right for her. Trust that you are doing your best as a mama and that it is enough. I wish there was some cosmic parent conference where you sit down with the Higher…
How To Stay at Home with Your Children and Make a Living Part 1
I had planned on posting here this past week but didn’t – I couldn’t find the words I wanted to really share as I’ve been thinking a lot about the events surrounding Ferguson. (This is why bloggers write blogposts early in advance and schedule them – which is what I did with my other blog…
The Crazy Art of Staying Home and Making a Living
More than six years ago, I left the “workforce” so I can be a stay-at-home mama. I didn’t know it then but my decision to be the primary caretaker of our child changed everything for me as a woman with aspirations and dreams. But not in the way you might think. Not only has my…

For Days When You Have to Forgive Yourself – Seventy Times Seven
Do you have days like that too? I’ve been having those days more often than I would like to. When my fuse is way too short, or when my lapse in judgment occurs in public. When I’m drowning in self-doubt. Or worse, when I realize how wrong some of the ways I parented my child…
How Busy Moms Meditate
I have a secret: I don’t meditate! Nope. Never liked it. And I doubt I ever will.
