In my current Work & Life Harmony, group coaching for busy mamas, we have been talking about guilt and how it affects our relationships and every aspect of our lives. As mamas, we care so much about our families and tend to identify our personal worth in how we feel about the way we mother [...]

I am the editor of the resource Web site www.mothersource.org. We have a page of heartfelt stories written by our clients and community members. Sometimes a story comes along that touches me so deeply that I am almost too teary to even work on it. Please take a moment to read this heartfelt story written [...]
“Me do it”

My toddler has a new mantra! “Me do it” is his response to just about everything. At 2 years old, he is a learning, growing sponge that is hard-wired to do as much of everything as he can, including make a huge mess! This can be frustrating at times. It challenges me to find ways [...]
The healing power of oregano
Posted in Health and Healing, writing, tagged Parenting, Self-care on February 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have recently discovered the powers of this tasty herb! While eating dried oregano on your pizza might not help you heal an infection, the potent oil of oregano is a strong antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal. My Tranquil Parent post details the health benefits of oregano oil and how to pick the best product.

Being a mama is hard work. Some days I wonder how I am going to “do it all.” And then I remember… I don’t have to do it all myself! Why is asking for help so hard? My post on the Tranquil Parent this week is all about asking for help and finding support. If [...]

One thing that is very important to me is nourishing and caring for my body. As a busy mama with many demands on my time and energy, I need to be in prime condition. Motherhood often feels like a marathon, don’t you think? There are many things I do to care for myself. I take [...]
Making the right choice!

My good friend Camille wrote a blog post for Mothersource.org the other day about a mothering moment when she had a choice: judge herself harshly and feel like a “not good enough mama” or be compassionate with herself and notice all that she was doing right. Thankfully, she chose the latter! I bet that you, [...]
The dirt on antibacterial soaps

I recently discovered a wonderful natural product called CleanWell that kills 99.9% of germs on contact but contains no harsh chemicals and is environmentally sound. This essential oil blend is a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-viral. As the mama of a toddler, I like to clean little hands well and often! My article on the Tranquil [...]

We have been fighting pink eye in our household since Christmas Eve morning. We have passed it back and forth from the little monkey to me to Papa Bear to our Aunty Matcha and back and forth and back and forth. For a month now. On Christmas Eve, the little monkey and I woke up [...]
