Stay ConnectedListen for coaching on how to care for yourself while mothering. You ARE the right mom for your kids. Motherhood is too important to do alone and too serious to be so serious all the time. You deserve self-care that isn’t hygiene every day. You are a world changer. I am so glad you’re here on Earth.

There was a viral opinion piece from Omaha about why you shouldn't high-five your kids. This is my defense of the highfive. I will not link the article here, I don't want to give it more clicks and views.
Family Fun Idea: Come up with your own way to high-five. Do a high-five flash mob. I'd love it if you email me your family's high-five routine.
Self-Care: Trace your hand and give yourself credit by writing all the things you can high-five yourself for. OR take a photo of a high-five and tag me in it on social media.

Self-Care: Going outside. Put your feet in the grass and feel the sun. Bonus if you put your feet in the grass with the sun shining on you and read a book.
Family Fun: We love to mountain bike! Make a homemade game of charades-- flying a kite, helicopter, animals, or super-heroes.
