As I get ready to head out to my mother’s house with my two girls to make Christmas cookies I’m reminded of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me. I know I may never talk about religion much on my blog but believe me, my heart and mind turn to God every time I [...]
Caretakers need to care for themselves.

I was reminded this morning by a segment on Dr. Phil just how important it is to take some time out for yourself especially when others are counting on you for care. I think one of the biggest mistakes caretakers make, especially new moms, is to let their own health and happiness take a back [...]

As it gets closer to Christmas I am trying to stay mindful this year of all that I am thankful for but I am also trying to keep in mind friends and family that are struggling. There have been some recent losses and heart breaks and I know that not everyone is happy or healthy. I [...]

If this really isn’t your time of year (and I know for so many people it’s not), whether it’s because you’ve lost a loved one or will be surrounded by too many “loved ones” that stress the hell out of you, here are some some really helpful tips from the Mayo Clinic on how to [...]
Barely recognizable.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 28th, 2011
My life that is. I just got back from a weekend with the inlaws and it blows my mind just how many things in my life have changed just in the past three years. It always brings tears to my eyes when I remember that just three short years ago I was incapable of putting [...]
