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.

Self-Care: Savor the moment with nature, use all five senses. Try to take a photograph with your mind.
Family Play Idea: My kids' favorite game right now is Monsti-Mom. The mom hides in the yard, and the kids run around the house, and she jumps out and scares them. Then you move to another spot. Bonus Idea: Family Field Day.
Let's practice a joyful effort together.

Self-Care: "When you were a kid, what did you do that helped?" What worked for you before that you're not doing right now? Try it again, add it back to your plate. Find it and DO it. Don't put yourself on the back burner.
Family Play: The best play memory was to cover the kitchen table with a sheet, and make a reading fort. Grab the flash-lights and read together. Read aloud to your kids or read alone. It's the time to veg, a calm-down ritual. Remember-- it's the fluke that can be a family ritual.

Christy's #1 Reading Tip:
Set a five-minute timer, to get yourself to start reading. If you keep reading past the timer great, but if you have to stop that's awesome too.
#2:
Take notes-- on paper, in the margins, on your phone. Jot down what you learned.
If you have any questions at all please email Christy

Pause and give yourself the gift of breathing with your whole body.
