Happy Friday!! Well Mother’s Day weekend has officially started. What does everyone have planned? A dinner? Game night? Or just a quick visit with your loved ones? What ever your weekend brings I know you moms out there will love and appreciate all of it.

And for the moms out there that spend this weekend in tears , depressed or just feeling lonely for many different reasons, I feel you. This day can be hard if you’ve lost a child or a mother, if your left begging to see your family or just left feeling like your a horrible parent. It’s not easy living through any of those senecios.

In June We will be offering a “Becoming a Healthy Mother “ afternoon with guest speakers, a meal with tea & wine and some enlightening workshops designed to bring that glow back to motherhood. Come out and enjoy the afternoon with other mothers. Make new mom friends, find that kindred spirit that shares your experiences. Being a healthy mom means more then just being there and showing up for your kids. You have to show up for you!

June 19 in Saskatoon
June 26 in Regina.

When you attend the The Ultimate Exhausted Mom Retreat, you'll be pleased with everything that ISN'T involved. No restless children. No snoring. No pets tearing through the house at 2 am. No housework. NO CLOCKS. No appointments, no meetings, no schedule. . Come and go as you please. Never get out of your PJ's. You don't even have to shower if you don't want to. Don't say a word to anyone while you're here. Feel safe enough to bare your soul to a complete stranger who truly "gets it". Step onto the front porch and collapse into the arms of someone who's already living your life. Make lifelong friends, or just revel in your solitude. Cry your eyeballs out. Smile so hard it hurts. Take deep breaths of fresh air. Feel the sun on your face. No shame. No guilt. Remember who you were before, and find that woman again.

As I’m scrolling through my Pinterest this quote came up and I thought how fitting today. Today, as I’m sure a few of you feel  some days as well, I just feel broken. Like everything I do and touch just breaks, like I just wanna sit in the middle of my floor and just let the tears that threaten to overcome me, happen.

As I sit in my craft room staring at the mound of projects I took on, I try to remember how excited and happy they made me feel. But in the middle of this room all I can do is stare at all the pieces on the floor of wasted material because of projects that didn’t work out.

We do this so much in our lives. We put all this pressure, all the self-doubt on ourselves that we forget we have people around us that do truly care. And it’s hard to remember that when you’re staring at a mess created by you, the kids, or a coworker who just messed everything up and left you to fix it. It is so easy to drown in those tears that threaten to burst like a broken damn.

And as I sit here sharing with you what the thoughts in my head are doing, I am giving myself that time to shed those tears, to give a release to this pent-up frustration and feelings of worthlessness so that I can finally move forward back into the joy. I share this with you so that you too can know it’s OK to sit in the middle of your room and cry. Sometimes we need that just like the grass and the flowers need the rain, our bodies and minds need the tears.

My cat is crazy most of the time. But when I see him all curled up beside me, his little toe beans (yes he has 6 toes 😁) stretched out, my heart just melts.

Let’s warm up this snowy day and share your fur baby. Toe beans and all! 🐈
