Mindful Parenting Resolutions for 2012 -PART 1
…free holiday season. In the spirit of the Mindful Mama Carnival, I would like to take this opportunity to focus on Mindful Parenting Resolutions for 2012.

Mindful Mothering Challenge #13 – The Results AND The Next Challenge: Humor
This challenge should have been a super easy one! Meditating over and praying over your child(ren) and their milestones, challenges, etc… should actually be something all parents already do. Taking time to reflect on your children and how to best parent them is essential. For me, this challenge w…

Mindful Mothering Challenge # 2 – The Results AND The Next Challenge: Being Positive
This week was a tough one for me. Tiny turned 2 which was heartbreaking (the growing up part). Tiny was also sick as anything for her birthday. When Tiny is sick she turns into the Tasmanian Devil and is quite the exhausting challenge. I broke my toes. That pretty much stinks. Anyway, it was actual…
