Fill Your Bucket: Breathing to Find Balance

March 23, 2015 6 Comments

Last week, BonBon Break published my original essay called “Breathing to Find Balance in Motherhood.”  This piece was one of fifteen selected for their March theme, “Fill Your Bucket.”  I was thrilled to have my writing chosen.

When I set out to write my post in response to BonBon Break’s call for submissions, I initially planned to write about all of the types of self care that I do to keep myself sane as a stay-at-home mom.  But when I started writing, I realized that wasn’t my story.  Turns out my truth was something entirely different.

    Beautifully written post. I totally get it. This week was challenging and I wanted to stay mad at my daughter, but her smiles and constant “I love you Mommy” made it difficult. Thank you for giving me a different outlook on how to view those challenging moments. #BLOGMA
