HOW DO I CLEAN UP THIS MESS???
I had a chat with a friend the other day, whom I haven’t seen for a few weeks and she commented that I changed in a good way: a bit calmer, happier, lighter. It was clear to me that what she noticed was in big part due to me cleaning up my head every single …
To Yell or not to Yell?
What do I know about yelling at my kids? A lot. What I feel when I yell. I feel like I need to stop whatever is happening at any cost. If it’s a screaming kid I can yell at him to stop yelling. If it’s two fighting boys I can get in there and …
