Have patience!

The two key tools in your parenting toolbox are active listening and patience.

What's your weight?

Our bodies have a set point for weight, and mine is loud and clear.

Age, gracefully.

Aging is not for sissies.

Be open minded

Returning to my alma mater for my reunion reminded me to be open-minded.

Ups and downs

The scale is up and down with my emotional eating.

Live healthy!

Taking care of your health directly relates to how long you’ll live.

Family vs. "Family"

Choosing our family can be beneficial to our mental health (even if we get along with our biological family).

Get talking!

Self-talk can be a powerful tool to help us stay motivated.

Give kids space

Giving our kids space to come to talk to us when they are ready goes a long way in developing a strong bond with our kids.

Non-negotaibles?

Self-care and caring for one’s self are not the same, so care for yourself, please.
