This is the most touching story of the lessons one mom learned as she worked on being present with her son. I love this story because learning and modeling how to live in the moment with your kids is an amazing gift to give both them and yourself. As moms, we are not perfect. But simple tips like this - how to be present in your life, mindfulness, and learning to live in the moment - strengthen your connections with your children. #beingpresent #liveinthemoment #mindful #bepresent www.themidlifemamas.com

Dear Son: This Is What You Need To Know About Moms and Sons

This post shares the books about finding yourself that I have personally have enjoyed reading as a woman in my 40's (ok, so I really just turned fifty - I'm easing into it slowly). Each book is filled with thoughts, truths, and words of encouragement for women inspiring you to be the best you can be. Some take a tough love approach, some women open their hearts and souls in their writings, and others have shared with humor. What these books don't do is tell you what your best looks like for you. I am about helping you dig inside to discover the very best version of yourself and then to learn how to be the best version of yourself. #wordsofencouragement #bestbooksaboutfindingyourself #selfhelp #bestversionofyourself www.themidlifemamas.com

But I was determined to dive in and learn how to be a good mom - not perfect, mind you - but good (sometimes rockstar good if I do say so myself 😉). I've read, studied, trained as a parenting coach, and talked with therapists, educators, counselors, occupational therapists, speech therapists, anyone I could glean insight from. Here is where I share that all with you!
