We’ve had a bit of rain at our house lately. Not literal rain, but the bad-luck kind. Man cub is having some school struggles. Tenth grade is proving to be tougher that we’d hoped. He’s trying hard, but still sliding down into the pit of “bad grades.” Then...

  Something I struggle with (and I’m guessing I’m not alone here) is the quick change hat act that us mothers have to do on a sometimes minute to minute basis. Your kids need you! Get the mom hat on. Partner needs you… where’s the devoted wife (or partner) hat?...

Every mom knows just how difficult it is to manage and balance parenting and a relationship. Keeping a good relationship with your mate requires time, energy, good communication and the ability to stay awake after the kids go to bed once in a while.

The joys of trying to keep balance in your life. Ahhh yes, now there’s a topic we can all relate to. I knew when I signed up for three classes this semester AND started a new job teaching at a preschool that I was biting off a whole lot. Of course, I proved myself right.   Luckily, I...

No, not the one with the hammer and nails. The one you carry in your heart and mind to help you through your day?   I participated in a wonderful workshop this past Sunday that talked about the spirit, body connection. How if one isn’t in balance, the other isn’t either. The...

My life, (like yours I’m sure) is indeed a teeter totter. I must confess, I’m not very good at keeping a balance. In fact, I’m more of a trebuchet. I can focus and deal with one big task at a time, and I over-react to everything. If you think this sounds like an exhausting way...

As moms we often balance many roles. That's not a new idea. However, every month there are a few days where I seem to lose who I am. I forget what it is that grounds me. So how do others find there way out of the haze of our busy lives and find that peace where our truth rings loud in our ears...
