As Easy As 1, 2, 3
When we think of parenting our children, I think the last word anyone would ever use to describe this enormous endeavor is “easy”. Children don’t come with an instruction manual but do seem to come with a lot more attitude and audacity than we did… because we were all perfect little angels when we were children, right? They just don’t make them like they used to… or should I say, “we” don’t make them like they used to.

Karen Huckaby, MA, AMFT shares 4 ways to boost your mental health.
May is Mental Health Month
Certain important topics are slowly becoming less taboo by being brought into the light of the public to be explored. I can appreciate a whole month dedicated to a topic which affects everyone, but one most people shy away from.

Though many more things about the famous smuggler will be revealed in a few short weeks, I am confident that the overall message of the life of the character of Han Solo can teach us many things about how we meet our self-care needs in the context of relationships.
Digital Detox: Disconnecting to Reconnect
This past weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend 2 nights camping on California’s central coast. I’d been looking forward to a relaxing Easter weekend doing something outside of the normal hustle and bustle that usually surrounds a major holiday. Upon reaching our destination, we set up camp, ran to the store for a few supplies, and then I embarked on a 48-hour digital detox.
