Summer break is approaching, and while the end of the school year brings excitement for family time and lazy days, many moms feel a familiar knot forming in their stomachs.

You’re balancing a toddler on your hip while your kindergartener declares they’ve forgotten how to put on their own shoes (again). The idea of ‘self-care’ feels about as achievable as a full night’s sleep. But what if I told you that caring for yourself doesn’t have to mean escaping from your littles? Let me tell […]
