Introducing...
Easy Street:
A New Map for Motherhood
Is this you?
* You can't find time to shower.
* There's spit up (or is it snot?) all over your clothes.
* You haven't slept in weeks.
* You have unexpected emotions that you don't know what to do with.
* You're unsure of how you're supposed to be as a mom (and it seems like everyone else has it all figured out).
* All the little things feel like a big deal because you can't find the time or energy to do it all.
* You used to feel so smart - able to figure out how to solve any problem - but the old ways just aren't working.
Imagine what it would be like to give yourself permission to let it to be easy. To let go of trying to satisfy your insatiable, unrealistic, and unachievable expectations of yourself. With my Easy Street program for moms, I give you ideas, advice, and proven ways to stop the roller coaster and head home to the peace that lives within the madness and miracles of motherhood.

There May Be Much Daily Conflict
 book's first birthday, I finally picked it up. Glennon writes with wit, wisdom, and honesty about parenting, relationships, and family. But what I noticed when I immersed myself into her words is that her worldview is very different than my own. Throughout her writing, she gives examples of how life is hard and "brutiful," her word that describes a messy link between brutal and beautiful.
If we go looking for hard and brutiful examples in life, we'll have no trouble finding them. This culture values difficult. We're rewarded for working long hours. We one-up each other on how little sleep we're getting. The evening news and the internet are filled with horror stories. There's even a dinner party game where each person tells their worst story of hardship and despair and the one with the saddest story gets a free meal, sort of like a modern day equivalent of Queen for a Day. We're suspicious of easy, like it's cheating by taking the shortcut to the finish line.
I know that life presents us with many challenges. It can be brutal. It can suck us down into a dark rabbit hole where we feel lost, alone, and clueless of how to find our way back into the light. I know this because I've been there.

 Baby Sign Language
 | Teach your baby to sign
I LOVE YOU |
Six month to seven months old is a perfect time to join a six-day Playgroup Series. When your baby is 13 to 14 months old, take a refresher course to improve your skills and increase your baby's signing vocabulary.
Touch Blue Sky offers two different playgroup series - Playgroup Boom and Playgroup Zoom. No need to take them in order; you can start with either one. Both Playgroups include the essential basic starter signs but vary in the more advanced vocabulary. Visit our website for more details.
