I'm here to help light up the darkness, inspire, and help other mums feel seen and less alone through my musings on life, motherhood, and mental health, intertwined with my faith and grief. This is a space for REAL motherhood - the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Here, I promise to be open, vulnerable, and honest.
Here, you are seen, and you are heard.
In just a few days, school will be starting again. I won’t lie, I’ve been waiting for this, but as we’ve gotten closer to the date, rather than excitement and relief, I’ve felt anxiety and worry. I know a lot of you may be feeling this way as well, and that’s why this blog post isn't going to be your typical “Back to School” post on prepping and settling your kids.
When you keep pushing yourself and running on high stress/fight mode for too long, you’re going to break. So, what’s the solution? Rest? Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well, the truth is, there’s so much more to resting than the word alone implies. And let’s face it, for a lot of us (mums especially), rest usually seems ineffective or impossible.
It’s a bittersweet day for me today. My precious boy, Dorian, should have been two today, but he was too precious for this earth.
When you’re an already busy mum whose life is about to get even busier, you get prepared. And you start using whatever hacks you can think of to make your life easier. Lucky for you, I’m going to share some of my busy mum hacks with you today!
