Self-care is something that everyone should be prioritizing in their life. This is especially true if you are a parent of a child or children with special needs. Taking time for ourselves can be challenging when we are constantly juggling appointments, therapies, and other responsibilities that come with raising a child with special needs. But …

I haven’t done this in forever but that needs to change
Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in a long time. I went for a hike without my kids. I’m not sure why I don’t do this more often. I do like time to myself, and I love being out in nature. Seems like I would be doing this every chance I get. Who knows. …

It’s a self-care kinda day and here’s what I have planned
It’s been a relatively quiet day so far. It’s beautiful outside and the kids have been working on the house while I’ve been working on……..work. I still have 3 seasons to remaster and re-upload. It sucks and it’s time consuming but otherwise pretty easy. Anyway, the boys have been a great job with minimal fighting. …

A little bit of selfcare goes a long way
Both the boys went to school today and that’s a good thing. The weather is cooler and Emmett’s school is back open once again. I’m currently waiting for Elliott to be dismissed and then I get to drive across town to retrieve Emmett. I’m in a weird mood today and I’m not sure why. I …

I totally feeling like I’m going to own today
It’s been an oddly productive morning. While I didn’t sleep well, I was up before 8 AM and out the door to get my walk in extra early. I avoid being in the direct sun during the hours of 10 AM to 4 PM, as we all should, at least without sunscreen. I prefer to …

Do you have a #selfcare buddy?
Lizze took the boys to school and let me sleep in this morning. She’s pretty awesome. Actually, she’s pretty and awesome. 😉 Anyway, she had an appointment this morning, and when she got back, I was able to go for my walk. I don’t usually like walking between the hours of 10 AM and 3 …

I try to never take breaks for granted
It was a pretty quiet evening. The kids were at their grandparents, and I’m writing this after sleeping in till 10:30 AM. That felt really good, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity. Lizze and I went for a short walk last night before picking up dinner and settling into watching Wandering Earth on Netflix. …
