Here’s something funny that both new motherhood and a pandemic have in common: It’s easy to lose track of what day it is. 

Times have been so heavy and hard and there are days I feel like I can’t do any of it. There are days when I don’t want to do any of it. And if I’m being honest, I have imagined hiding and crying under my blanket, with the hope that my kids won’t find me. 

Earlier this summer, I had to make a really hard decision. I decided to let go of my Happy With Baby office space.

Sheltering in place during a pandemic weirdly has a lot in common with having a new baby at home.  

Right now, the present moment is so challenging for so many of us.  

There’s no one right way to handle this. It really depends on a person’s situation. Some clients prefer to pay out-of-pocket. Some prefer to use insurance. And right now, with so many being furloughed or losing their job altogether due to the coronavirus pandemic, the need to rely on insurance due to financial uncertainty is more important than ever.  

These are unprecedented times, friends. (So unprecedented that I’m getting sick of the word!) So, if you’re feeling anxious, stressed, unsure, lonely or scared right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic….it’s completely justified.  

I just learned that today, January 17th, is National Ditch Your Resolution Day. Did you know that was even a thing? I sure didn’t.

Have you ever tried to start a gratitude jar with your family or a gratitude journaling habit that just didn’t stick?

I’d never taken myself for one to suffer from anxiety. It was only in looking back at events in my life that I can now see what was actually going on.
