I received tickets to the Ringling Bros. circus in exchange for this post. My only experience with a circus was several years ago when I took my oldest to an old tent out in a field (not Ringling Bros.) in the middle of the summer. We sat in excited anticipation and honestly, I decided the […]

I hope this post will inspire you to be more supportive of those that struggle with mental illness, or to inspire you to take steps in your own life to get help if you are struggling. This is a post I shared on Facebook, where hundreds of commenters felt inspired to share their own story […]
10 Ways Moms Can Find More Balance And Stop Feeling Mom Guilt
This past year, I’ve spent a lot of time working on self-care. Having 3 kids in 6 years took a toll on me, and I found myself drowning in the day to day tasks, and not taking nearly enough time for myself. I felt “lost” a little bit in motherhood. Sound familiar? I couldn’t remember […]
To The Mom Who is Tempted To Compare Herself To Someone Else

Sometimes I Fear I Wasn’t Meant to be a Mother
Sometimes I fear I wasn’t meant to be a mother. Just typing those words leaves me feeling empty and scared. I know I will be judged for them by the childless, the sanctimommies, and the empty nesters that say with a hand over their heart, “But it goes so fast!” As I sit on my couch […]
