Why Mommy is Important Too–Sharpen that Saw, Fill that Bucket

Where I’ve been with mommy self-care… In past posts, most of the mommy self-care I’ve talked a lot about relate to doctor’s appointments.  I’ve been pretty good about getting my annual skin checks, mammograms, well-women visits, vision and physical appointments.  I’ve gotten my teeth cleaned […]
