Coming this month to you!

…and a note on my sickness

I’m sitting in the car with a child who’s sleeping in the backseat. My bladder is full and my coffee is hardly working.

The congestion pressure is equally matched with the physical exhaustion this second time around having Covid. I feel out of breath. I’m not in places where people can touch us but I sure as hell can’t stay in that house right now.

(Oh hello, and by the way, did you know talking about having Covid is attached to a cultural guilt trip that makes you feel terrible for being relatively ok after a pandemic?)

This week we’ve done a lot of trails or walking on empty park grounds when people are busy at work. Yesterday, I was reminded of the fact I shouldn’t allow the pressure to keep things entertaining for my family be at the expense of our actual peace.

In short, I suggested we see a lake two hours away, the weather sucked and we didn’t get that far, my child was mad she couldn’t run, and we had a terrible drive home.

If there is a moral of the story here, perhaps, it’s a reminder that my idea of adventure is skewed to the realities of a waddler. Or maybe it’s an acknowledgment of my desire to control and not understand the time and place for spontaneous activity.

That’s enough about me. Here is what I am planning on writing about in the coming month!

• Lessons from motherhood and business that relate

• Guest posts (contact me about it)

• Can hormones be reset or is this another marketing campaign for women postpartum?

• Cultivating creativity in the every day

• Practical ways to be on top of planning and finance

• What hardwired us to be positive or negative in thinking?

I am really looking to hear from you about these topics and what we’ve already dived into at Motherhood Minute.

Comment to let me know your thoughts looking back and for what I’ve planned.
