I am a single mother to 3 girls (16, 14, and 11). I also am an Infant/Child Sleep Consultant helping parents create the healthiest foundation for their children. My goal is to always rise above the noise and get back to basics.

Breaking Up Is Often The BEST Thing To Do!

THIS IS A MUST….AGAIN!!!!

I learned a lot from my daughter Henley this week. She had her first prom. She knew her relationship with her boyfriend was over. She played the same game with herself that we all do. She felt bad that she felt this way when prom was upon them. After all, he had pulled out all the stops on how he asked her to prom. She didn’t want to be ‘mean’. She didn’t want to look like a ‘bitch.’ She talked about waiting it out to see if it got better. It wasn’t going to get better, we all saw it. After her dad listened to one of her stories he said, “Yeah…it’s over.” But she couldn’t get past the ‘prom’ thing…until she did. She realized quickly that things were not going to change for her. Her feelings had changed simply because they did. As bad as she felt, she broke up with him the day after prom.

That took courage and in the end was the best thing she could have done for both of them.

If only we could all take a lesson from Henley’s break up book. Continue reading »

This is going to be short, sweet, and the most freeing blog you have read in a long time.

It is a question everyone has an opinion on. There are books written about this. There are therapists who are paid lots of money to help people find the right answer to this question. Most say 6 months.
So…what is the question that causes so many debates, guilt, and…lies??? And what is up with 6 months?

When Do You Tell Your Kids About The New Person In Your Life?

Like I said most experts and non-experts say 6 months is a healthy time to involve the children into your new relationship. I have to ask, why is 6 months the magic number? Did someone do a study? And if they did, what did they find?
Did they find 6 months of lying? Hiding? Not making their children a part of their life? Continue reading »

Do YOU Know What Invisible Force Could Be Controlling Your Life?

It’s okay…neither did I.

Who knew a little nugget in a conversation of questions can be the most amazing revelation. I have found one more piece of my puzzle. As I reflected on my past, my present, and what I desire so much for my future, I realized this is information that we all need. These are questions we must ask ourselves and answer them. When we expose what is hiding, we crack it and the light has to come shining through.

I am also aware of how this will form the lives of my children and by sharing this knowledge with them, they can be set free of this force (bondage) long before I did.

Wow…they are so lucky to have such an aware mom! ;) Continue reading »

Self Love…End of Story!

I see life as a cake. I see self love as the decoration we choose to put on the cake.

Goofy analogy I know, but play along for just a minute.

We all are baked cakes. We are here…we are living…waiting to be decorated.

Decorating is the ultimate responsibility. Continue reading »

Carpet or Counter Top! How Do You Do Life?

Is your life like a carpet or granite counter top?

I know you are probably thinking….What?

Funny analogy I know but keep reading and it will make perfect sense.
One day I was having a challenge and I realized it was a challenge that I think was cleaned up but here it is again. I think it is cleaned up but it shows up again. Just like a darn carpet stain. We spend hundreds of dollars to hire someone to get those pesky stains out of our beautiful carpet so our home looks beautiful again thinking….yay…that stain is gone forever!

Wrong!

I know for me it is often stains I don’t even recall causing but they are there staring up at me as I walk through the family room or up the stairs. I know for me I ask, “what are these stains and where the heck did they come from?” Continue reading »

Did Your Ex Treat You This Well?

As I sat down to write this blog, I knew what I wanted to write about but I was struggling with how to write it – how to get the message across. I thought of a few different examples to throw out. I even started one version with asking questions. Nothing felt right until I decided to just  get straight to it. No soft interlude needed. The question just needs to be asked.

Here it is…

DO YOU THINK YOUR EX TREATS HIS/HER NEW PARTNER BETTER THAN HE/SHE TREATED YOU? Continue reading »

Last night I was at a great birthday party in Del Mar. I started chatting with a gal (her name is Jen) in our group and the coincidences started pouring out.

We are both from Illinois and grew up about an hour away from each other.

We both went to Western Illinois University. Continue reading »
