Friday, Februrary 2nd is National Wear Red Day®. This day was meant to bring attention to the fact that heart disease is the #1 killer of women.

So, along with wearing red, I urge you to consider one or two of these ways to love your heart this February.

I ordered a weighted blanket the other day; it’s making its way toward my front porch as I write this. It’s a gray color. The drab, dreary kind of gray...the rainy day gray that just refuses to clear up....
Over the last half a year, our country has shifted in ways we could not have anticipated. Many Mommas are now juggling working from home, while simultaneously teaching virtual learning to more than one child. I know for my...
One thing I have learned about anxiety is that it is hereditary. This has become a burden on its own, because it is quite apparent that my oldest suffers anxiety. I worry about how that will play out throughout his life, so I decided to be proactive and teach him ways to control his emotions and anxiety. Check out some tips and ideas below. Even if anxiety isn’t a struggle in your family, I promise these are helpful tips to get through those toddler and preschool tantrums too!
