This is step #6 in the 6 Steps To Go From An Angry To Happy And Confident Mom blog series. You can find the rest of the series here. Unfortunately, being a mom isn’t always as dreamy and joyous as you thought it would be. You might find yourself feeling angry, frustrated, and unhappy much…
While driving with my two boys (6 + 8 years old), we got on the topic of them having kids, therefore me being a grandma. Because I’m always paranoid about my parenting (who isn’t…), I asked the question, “would you want me to watch your kids?” My oldest one said, “No!” I said, “Why not?”…
One of the worst ways to start the day is feeling rushed, and out of control with your kids and time. This is why I am a HUGE supporter of making time for yourself in the morning, before your kids wake up. Taking this time helps your brain prepare for the wakening of your household….
