Children bring so much joy to a parent’s life. With the pressure of bringing another life into the world, and nurturing that child into a mature responsible adult, there also comes an increased load of stress.
There is the long-term stress of “Am I raising my child right?” and “Will he ever grow up and be able to take care of himself?”
Day-to-Day Stress
And then there is the day-to-day stress. There are many things that contribute to the stress that a mom feels each and every day. Of course, some times that stress level seems off the chart [...]
Feeding your family can be a great stressor in your life, especially if you work full time outside the home, or if your kids are in lots of activities, or for many other reasons in our busy lives.
Planning your meals and shopping ahead of time is the very best way to handle feeding your family, and should help to reduce the stress around the question “Mom, what’s for dinner?”
The reality is, however, that even if you DO plan your meals, there will come a day, or days, when things don’t go as planned. Maybe you get sick, or [...]
Lives today are very busy, that is no secret. Parents and families running to and fro, from one activity or task to the next. We get so busy doing that we forget we are human BE-ings.
How can we slow our pace down and begin enjoying our lives and our families?
If you look at some of the activities that many of us like to do, you can see a big contrast between them. Consider:
Racecar vs convertible vs walking
Motorcycle vs bicycle vs running
Speedboats vs sailboats vs kayaking
Speed swimming vs snorkeling vs scuba diving
Each of these [...]
Getting your kids to sleep in their own bed can be a struggle (this is not meant to be a debate on cosleeping!) Having kids in your bed can definitely keep you (and them) from getting a good night’s sleep. I don’t have all the answers, but I thought I would share a post from The Bizy Mommy:
But what I really want you to see is the video below!
Ever been held captive by a sleeping child? I know I have, although not actually IN a baby bed, lol! Gotta love this dad…

Moms today are always on the go.
We have dozens of things running through our brain, trying to keep up with who needs what and when. And we never seem to have enough time to do it all, whatever “all” is!
How do we slow down and have more time?
Being so busy keeps us from enjoying our lives, enjoying our families, enjoying ourselves. But believe it or not, there may be habits, activities, and thoughts that are keeping you from having enough time.
1. You’re just busy, not productive.
Being busy is seen as badge of honor. Rushing from [...]

There is so much attention given these days to clutter. There are TV shows such as Hoarders or Clean Sweep. On the front of any woman’s magazine you will find an article about clearing clutter. And there are MANY websites and blogs whose focus is to help you clear your crap!
And we need it to be cleared. But as we work on our physical clutter, and start emptying some space in our physical life, we find that we have a lot more that needs to be dealt with. Not physical clutter that you can put your hands on and toss in a bag. That kind [...]
If you were to walk into the house of just about any busy suburban family, you would probably find some unfinished business. In some houses you would have to look harder than others, but it would be there, maybe tucked away somewhere, out of sight. In other houses, you wouldn’t make it past the front door without finding it!
Here are some examples of unfinished business: The library books that have been sitting by the front door to go back to the library for 4 weeks The lawnmower sitting in the front yard where it cut off on Saturday, and now it [...]
After coming across a conversation on Facebook by one of my sister bloggers, Christine Wolf, talking about how exhausting all the driving kids around can be, I thought I would write a post with some tips to make the most of the car time.
