Every morning, I give my girls a probiotic, fish oil and a multivitamin. This morning, this routine got me thinking about how us mamas still need prenatal vitamins even after we are (most likely) done having babies. My girls are 7 and 4 and I think our baby days are in the past. However, who knows where life will take us and there always is that chance that we could have another child Read the full post >>>
Remember to have fun
Remember to have fun. Yes, enjoy this stage in life. One of the reasons why I wanted to write Mama Sanity Survival Guide and run Mama Sanity Bootcamp was to let moms know that it is OK to not love every single second of motherhood and it is OK to have moments of panic and anxiety and depression. It is totally normal to want to run away some days, to dream about the days you got to sleep in Read the full post >>>
Keep it all in perspective
Motherhood is tough work but we have to keep it all in perspective because it is always changing. What we think is stressful now will not seem so bad in years to come. There is no denying how tough it is during these early years of raising kids. However, it is so worth it. Plus, every hard stage is just that - it is a stage. It will go away and you may even miss it. My Madilyn used to Read the full post >>>
Separate work time and play time
To be a great mama and to have some sanity, it's imperative to separate work time and play time. We live in a world where it is so easy to have everything at our fingertips at any time. We can check our email on our smartphone while sitting down on the floor playing dolls with our kids. Convenient? Of course. Necessary? I donʼt think so. Troublesome? I do think so. I think our kids think Read the full post >>>
Get out of the house everyday
Get out of the house everyday - yes, being a mom is insane and this is one of the biggest tricks to staying sane during the early years of raising kids. When Brian and I decided that I would stay home with the kiddos, I never really thought through how much time I would be in my house. Back during my consulting days when I was never home (I traveled full time), I would dream of spending Read the full post >>>
Find healthy outlets
Need some more sanity in your life - find healthy outlets. I am not talking about outlet shopping. However, that may help with mama sanity as well! I am referring to how the web defines the word “outlet” as a “means of release or satisfaction for an emotion or impulse.” It can be so hard to remember who you were and what you liked to do before becoming a mother. Before kids I used to paint, Read the full post >>>
Make your home a space you love
Make your home a space you love. This is a huge component to being a healthy and happy mama. I am in my home ALOT. For those of you mamas who work outside the home, your challenges may be different - but equally as challenging I am sure! Through the years, I have learned that if I am going to spend alot of time in our home with the kids, I gotta love the space. I go crazy if the house is a Read the full post >>>
Have faith in something big
Us mamas gotta to have faith in something big. We are much stronger than we think. “Motherhood is more than a stage - itʼs a lifelong calling from God. With it He gives us hearts that love deeply, hands that serve tirelessly, and vision to see His blossoming image in the precious ones entrusted to our care.” - Author Unknown Do you ever stop and wonder, "Wow! How did I get here?" "Who am Read the full post >>>

A bedtime I will always remember
Tonight was a bedtime I will always remember. I love my girls but most nights, I am tired, rushed, stressed and I am just going through the motions. I am dragging toward the finish line - two kiddos in bed, quiet, glass of wine in hand, silly reality TV show. Tonight was different. The windows in our home were open and a cool breeze was coming in. I could see the sun beginning to set behind Read the full post >>>
