This week, I thought I would get a little deeper and talk about how to be happy by embracing the present moment, wherever you may happen to find yourself. One of the most life-changing books I have ever read is The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle. In that book, he said: “As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When y...

Whenever there are changes to the flow of the day and the function of the home, it’s important to create somewhat of a schedule and some habits that are going to help keep everyone organized and functional, at least as best as possible.

How are you feeling today? Like mentally, and emotionally, where are you at? The reason I ask is because as women, and as moms especially, we tend to be very influenced by whatever mood we find ourselves in. Now last week, I did an episode all about claiming your passion, joy, and happiness. But you may be left wondering: well what the heck do I do when I’m just not in the mood for all those rainb...

It’s common for moms to get caught up in the everyday responsibilities and struggles of life, and to lose sight of what they’re passionate about, it’s common for moms to wake up and ask themselves, “what even makes me happy anymore, other than my kids?” It’s common for moms to get bored, and even feel trapped, and to crave something more, some excitement. So today I’m tackling the question: How do...

You teach your kids to be bold and courageous and to stand up for what’s right and go after their dreams. Yet, as moms, I don’t think we get enough encouragement or recognition for being bold and courageous and going after our dreams. In fact, a lot moms feel judged or criticized for doing what others would be called courageous for. But I think that courage is one of the most important qualities t...

Today I had the privilege of talking with Jane Garner, a mother who lost her almost two year old in a tragic drowning accident.
