This is how I’m staying grounded this holiday season when life is busy and crazy. I love the holiday season — the lights, the coziness, the excitement — but it can also be chaotic and overwhelming. Between homeschool, therapies, lessons, family plans, traveling, just mom life in general and everything else that gets added this […]

(A birthday post from a mom who loves cozy, simple Christmas) It’s my birthday today and every year around this time I feel the same thing: deep gratitude for the life I get to live and the simple traditions that make our home feel warm and cozy in the midst of the busiest time of […]

I love decorating for Christmas — the lights, the coziness, the candles and the magic it brings into our home. But I’ll be honest… I love decorating but it can be a lot.  There was a time when decorating felt stressful — like one more thing on an already full to-do list. It’s totally different […]

Coffee + Connection: Small Daily Things That Keep Me Grounded Motherhood can be really full — homeschooling, therapies, meals, laundry, cleaning, working and everything in between. It’s easy to slip into survival mode, moving from one task to the next without ever catching your breath. But I’ve learned something over the years: it’s the little […]

💗 From Mom Guilt to Peaceful Rhythms – Blog 2 in the Series There was a time when even the thought of wanting time to myself made me feel selfish. Thoughts that went through my head– “I can’t take a break, what if they need me?”  “I have too much to do.” “I don’t have […]

💗 When the Hard Days Take a Toll on Mom Life There are moments I absolutely love being a mom. The moments that are full of laughter, cuddles, breakthroughs and joy I never thought I’d experience. But there are also moments when I just don’t like it, because they are really tough and hard. I […]

Mama, how often do you feel guilty for resting — or even thinking about it? I know I used to. I felt like I had to do it all — and only when everything was finished, then I’d maybe allow myself to rest. But even before becoming a mom, I carried guilt around slowing down. […]

As a mom I often wonder if I’m enough for my family and friends. So often I used to think I was always behind everything. Behind on laundry. Behind on purpose. Behind on who I was supposed to be. But when I stop, take a breathe and pray, I remember this truth I so often […]

The Pressure to Keep Going I used to believe that resting meant I was lazy. That slowing down or saying no meant I was letting my family down. The world tells us we should be able to juggle it all — spotless houses, home-cooked meals, thriving kids and a perfectly planned week. So even when […]

You Were Never Meant to Do It All: Creating Space for What Matters Most When I became a mom, I felt a heavy pressure that so many of us carry — the pressure to do it all, be it all, manage it all — and make it look easy. I used to believe that if […]
