Blaze Your Path

August 3, 2014

As I watch my daughters grow, I often have flash backs about how I felt when I was their age. I remember feeling so sure of my path, as if it were laid out like a beautiful oil painting ahead of me, full of rich colors and beauty – I only had to take one...

If you fall on your Face

June 18, 2014

Today, in a matter of four hours, I take off my seatbelt, step out of the car, catch my high heel on the strap, fall face first on the asphalt, shatter my phone, bleed from my knee, ankle and knuckles, stand up and walk into KBYU as I compose myself, record a commercial for United...

Don’t listen to the naysaysers, the advice-givers (funny huh?), or the self appointed “mommy police”. If anything will humble you and make you realize you know nothing, it’s a child. Listen to your child, and to your heart. And realize that your children are going to teach YOU more than you will ever teach them. Your job is to love them, keep them safe, and set a good example for them of the kind of people you hope they grow up to be. From day one they will want to be just like you. Have fun. (from a mother of six, and a joyful grandmother of 21!)ReplyCancel

Sleep when you can and don’t feel bad that your house is a wreck. It can wait! Pray and pray often. Trust your gut instincts and don’t listen to all the horror stories that people tell you. Savor every moment. Even when you feel like your days will never end because your babies grow up SO fast!!ReplyCancel

I couldn’t agree more with Debbie. And, every baby is different and every mom is different, so do what feels best for you and your family.ReplyCancel

My advice for a new mom is listen to your own mom/grandmother but modernize that advice because it does come with an expiration date sometimes.ReplyCancel

Don’t compare yourself to what anyone else (or their baby/kid for that matter) is doing. You do what works for you and feels best for your family.ReplyCancel

Being a new mom can be hard but taking time for a coffee and a walk means the world. I am the mommy of a two year old and I still need those mini breaks every now and then.ReplyCancel

Managing our Thoughts, to Be Happy

January 12, 2014

Written by: Janae Are you ever shocked by the thoughts that randomly pop into your brain? I am. Descartes, father of modern philosophy, shared the thought, “I think. Therefore, I am.” He couldn’t have been more right. Until we learn to control our mind, the experiences in our world around us will be a mere...
