Things to do inside this winter
I have two daughters, four and two (almost three), and they are two the the most hilarious people I know. We got our first snowfall about a week ago, and my kids couldn't wait to get outside and play in the snow. We got them all bundled up in their snow gear and sent them into the backyard while Mommy got hot chocolate ready and watched from inside. My four year old waddled out there (I can't put my arms down!) and stood for a few minutes. She tried to roll one snow ball before coming back to the door shivering.

3 Steps to Reading More
When I was a kid, every two weeks my mom would gather my four siblings and me into the minivan and take us to the local library. While the youngest two chased each other around on the dusty carpet downstairs and the other two played games on the computers, I would scour the shelves in search of new worlds and characters to explore.

5 Creative Ways to Spend Time with Your Family
Today’s society is always so rushed.

Moms: It's OK to Make Yourself a Priority
I think it's safe to say that, as a mother, we've all been there. We have started a day off on the wrong foot and then the whole thing crumbled apart from there. No breaks, no relief in sight, and not a single moment to yourself. Then as soon as the children are asleep and you think you might have a moment to do something just for you, you fall asleep. Or maybe, if you're like me, instead of sleeping you clean your kitchen because it's the next thing on the list that needs to be done.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF
Living in our present reality can be exceptionally unpleasant. While a portion of the pressure that we experience is really helpful for rousing us, a point can be arrived at where it turns out to be extremely unsafe, actually, sincerely, and even profoundly. Realizing how to oversee and even diminish the hurtful impacts of weight consistently, of remaining adjusted and focused as we experience the numerous stressors of regular living, is vital to our prosperity. In addition to other things, dealing with ourselves will fundamentally include us supporting our actual body, eating well nourishments, of working out. Figuring out how to deal with ourselves in this regard is likewise significant for everybody as our experience of pressure can and influences others also.

Empty Stockings
I remember the first Christmas after we lost my grandmother. I was a teenager at the time and had a toddler-aged sister. My father was utterly beside himself with grief. Holidays at our house had always been so vibrant, full of people and love. The loss of my grandmother changed that for him. It made him sad in a way that I couldn’t understand. That was, of course, until I lost my own mother. Holidays were never quite the same, especially Christmas which was her favorite.

Musings of a Momma Bear: Anchor Point
I have a sign in my window. It's a piece of paper with my messy handwriting. It's been there for months, to the point I look at it without really seeing it anymore. But the other day I read it again, "Major life changes are a chance to redefine your purpose. I will live by example." Oh, man. I wrote this note to myself. I have not followed by own advice. Nope, I've been freaking out. For a while now.
