Helping Moms Raise Kids With Special Needs
Now it’sĀ September, it’s time for back to school fitness – for you, Mom! For us, this year has been super challenging: discovering I had PTSD, a flood that led to mold discovery, another move, job loss, falling out with friends. In light of all the stressors, I laid back on my gym visits. As you might know, I am a big fan of SoldierFit,

Yes, we were hopelessly romantic in our youth and married on the calendar date we met, 7 years later! Not only that, but our HALF (6-month) anniversary was the day after Valentine’s Day,
A few weeks ago, a friend asked me about yoga. āI donāt know anything about it,ā she said. I was very surprised ā I thought everyone knew about yoga and the benefits it can provide a stressed-out mom! My love of yoga started when I had a job with a reduced fee gym membership. I was really excited because the gym had lots of classes,
Yesterday, I got some unhappy news. A new prayer group that I’m part of will be breaking up. I’m really bummed. I had felt a true connection there, even though I’d only been a few weeks.

Ok, so if you want to lose weight quickly and easily, what can you do? The answer is one I’ve been dodging forever, but I’m on a new route to kick my own ass into gear on every level, particularly things I’m afraid. The answer is: You have to get your ass kicked. As I progress through my 50s, it’s become harder and harder to
As you no doubt noticed from my lastĀ post on accomplishing my dreams, my plate is full right now!Ā And like you, doing for the family is taking most of my time – and draining me. My top option is to take care of how I eat, but healthy snacks for busy moms? That can be impossible. Healthy Snacks for Busy Moms This conversation is sponsored by
Summer break is over, and the kids are finally back in school! For many of us moms, that means a time to organize andĀ get back to being us. For me, this also means accomplishing my dreams, some of which have fallen by the wayside and others that have not been productive or organized.
