Bring the JOY back to your mothering!
Did you know that your child’s, teen's, or adult child’s behavior is a result of a feeling they don’t know how to deal with? Just like our actions come from a feeling we are having and a negative thought that is causing that feeling. We may not be able to be in their head to [...]
Motherhood is a Lifelong Journey
Motherhood is a lifelong journey...there will be ups and downs and the downs don't mean you are failing, they mean you are human.
