It is a beautiful sunny day outside and my 11-year-old son watched TV all day. Yes, ALL DAY!

Summer, summer, summertime! The days are longer, my workload is lighter and I'm super relaxed! Except wait, I'm not! I've got a to-do list a mile long, I feel stressed and I'm mentally beating myself up because "summer is almost over and I haven't done anything on my to-do list!" Can you relate?

Do you remember pretending to be a teacher or a super hero, when you were a child? Being told to "go outside and play" or spinning in circles until you became dizzy? Guess what? All of those activities were important brain and body developing activities.

Rather than a time out for bad behavior, I gave my self a time out to reflect, dream and just sit.

Well, today I definitely did not use my best mommy-ing. I went from zero-100 in the blink of an eye.

Between working, cooking, cleaning, and worrying about being the best parent I can be, I find myself struggling to keep my energy up.
