Hi hi dear Reader Many greetings apply this week - happy new moon! Happy Summer Solstice! It’s that time again - and you’re like what do you mean??? 👀 About 1-2x/month, I get this feeling I’m either in the flow (woop woop 🎉) or I’m in a funk (something needs shifting)! When I’m in the flow my playtime is great, 1:1 time with my family members is rockin’, and important projects are in forward progress. If I am feeling funky (not disco funky - just OFF), my space feels cluttered, I am tired, I...

Hey hey Reader, I want to close this loop for you...Gordie my 9 year old picked ice skating as what he's learning this year. ⛸️ (I know you were curious!!) He does look adorable in his big soccer socks and t-shirt in shorts when we go. ❤️ So last week when I talked about YOU figuring out some cool things to do with your summer... Did you write a list? Did you put it up somewhere to see it...or did you go down a rabbit hole of non productive scrolling and reacting to other people? You got to...

I know you probably have a story like this one, Reader. For mine, let's time travel back to September 2017. I have just returned back to work after an amazingingly juicy 6 month maternity leave. All the feelings of the return to work phase are live and in full effect (and also the ones where as a working mom of two children you have a difficult time making all the human beans happy!) I was still excited and prepared to return to the stability of the work in a job that I loved. I enjoyed the...

Hi hiReader! This week in our house we are reflecting on “What do you want to learn this summer?” This was of course a question I proposed, followed by my boys groaning, “NOOOOOO schoolwork, Mom!”. But I flipped it for them - they were surprised - and I said school work is off limits for the learning in summer plan! My answers were YES! And Hmmm… *School teacher disclaimer - summer slide is real over here. I just can’t fight it. Thank you for helping me! And..My older son wants to learn how...

Hey hey Reader! Four weeks until summer break over here…I am not fist pumping because I am having a hard school semester 😆 BUT I am looking over my affirmations / wishes / to-do list… And trying to make sure all things are done before the kids are home for summer break. I had wanted to finish a couple of coaching courses and another healer course before June 11th. After checking in with what has been done and what’s LEFT to do, I am coming up short! I am frustrated. I didn’t get it all done....

I love love love the energy of my house. It is a home with all the “sounds of life.” (A term my yoga teacher, Shiva Rea uses.) It’s filled with laughter, joy, brothers wrestling, lots of legos, Alexa music choices of Metallica, Crazy Frog… It’s a full on sensory experience. Which is wonderful AND can be “too much for my nervous system.” (Says ME, OFTEN!!) But Reader, what I’m really saying is, “I need more SENSORY REST up in here!” 👉🏼The 7 types of REST (with some examples): Physical: can be...

13 years ago I was at the end of my first pregnancy and I thought I would not have this beautiful baby by Mother’s Day. I was worried I wasn’t a mother yet. What I then realized I already was a mother. I was caring for and supporting this bean growing inside me, months and really years before I was actually physically pregnant. So, Reader, YES HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! 🎉 And, this brings up two thoughts for me: Acting as if you are…_______ (identity you wish to be) Honoring and celebrating your...

I want to thank my dear nor cal friend for inspiring me this week with all our traded voice memos on Acai Bowls and chalky tasting shakes. I called first and told her I was drinking this absolutely disgusting shake. (I usually put beef protein isolate protein powder in my shakes, but I was out so I used an unflavored pea protein one.) 😬 Reader, it was very awful. Mis-take noted. We will not be using using that recipe again (also brain thinking it needs more fruit ETC)! My friend then responds...
