Hey hey! I recently started ending each day with a song that I thought described my adventures and feelings. It’s kind of hilarious to look back on the week and see what a rollercoaster it was, just based on the songs of the day. For example, check out this week’s...

On November 1, I pushed out two amazingly strong baby girls and suddenly tripled the amount of kids in our little family. Luna and Calla came into this world and immediately changed lives, mine included of course.

"When is that presentation due?" becomes "I don't have much time" becomes "There's no way I'll finish this!" When I feel those types of thoughts getting out of control (I'm told it's called catastrophizing), I … Continue reading Worry
