You made it to Friday...

Hey, Reader. While Friday may mark the end of they work week, as a mother -- it's the start of more to-dos. This may be an only-child thing, but my daughter constantly needs to be entertained. She can't stand to play alone. On the rare occasion that she does entertain herself, it's inevitable that she finds me or my husband to participate with her. As an only child with 2 brother, I can't relate to that. I loved playing by myself. Even as an introvert, I always appreciate times when I could be on my own to recharge. This was true, even when I was in elementary school. For most moms, the weekend doesn't hold much relief from the hustle & bustle of daily life. You can grab some reset time, if you are intentional about it. Instead of winging it this weekend, I challenge you to schedule your days & stick to it. This may mean you set an alarm, instead of sleeping in, so you can still prioritize your "me-time" at the start of the day.
Maintaining your routines over the weekend, will significantly decrease your Sunday night overwhelm. Weekends may be a break for work, but they aren't a break from life. Keep up the routines that work for you. ☺ Tools to help you Reclaim Joy... I appreciate you, Brittany |

Hey, Reader. 🛑 Stop trying to be everything to everybody. Your consistent pursuit of being the solution -- or coming up with the solution -- for everyone's problems is making you overwhelmed, exhausted & resentful. You can't be everything. You're not supposed to be. Even with your kids -- you're just supposed to be their mom. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be the most creative or the most entertaining. You simply need to be present, healthy & happy. Your mental load...
Hey, Reader. I used to find it very difficult not to blame myself for things, even if they seemed outside of my control. I've learned that some things, even under our best intentions, just don't go our way. And that's ok. For example, I used to believe being punctual was a badge of honor. "I’m promotable, because I’m on time". Or "I’m a good friend, because I’m always on time". In reality, I just had less things in my way of being on time. When my daughter was a toddler, I would up at 5am and...
