Finding Calm in the Chaos

It’s Not Just You

The holiday season is upon us! We are surrounded by shiny lights, mall Santa's, festive music and shopping. With that also comes...whiney kids, testy teens, overload, anxiety, stress, emotional eating and the uncanny feeling that you're gonna snap like a candy cane.
It's not just you, my friend...let's chat.

Mommy Burnout

Mommy burnout...it's a real thing. I stumbled on some info to help bring me back to my sanity; a quiz to gauge your level of mommy burnout.

They say it takes a village...you gotta start somewhere.

Coffee Talk (11/11/2023)

Get some popcorn and listen in on a casual episode of Coffee Talk…where I’m getting super personal, having my customary tangents and most likely being absolutely ridiculous describing my everyday life. Buckle up…because you never know what’s going to come out of my mouth.

Silencer

The mold saga continues! This situation has really helped me utilize 20+ years of rage therapy and has really brought to the surface how much I have grown in my response to situations. Tune in...you won't believe the direction this is taking.

Coffee Talk (11/04/2023)

Here we go! I'm pumped...because I feel my energy staying positive while still being able to vent.  My friends, that's what they call a big stride.

It’s Everybody

I definitely overscheduled the homeschool activities, Buster has THREE birthday parties this week at doggie daycare, I shower a pathetic once a week now but my hair has never looked better...oh, and I've leapt into a plant based diet where everyone who was on board is not off board. Crazy. Hectic. Insane. Life. It's not me, it's everybody.
