My husband, Brad read my bio and said pain less? I don’t mean pain-free because that’s not feasible at this point. However, I say pain less not meaning pain free, rather, the more I do healthy eating, exercise and sleep, the less pain I have. That is my goal. If I get at least seven hours a night, eat well, (including treats) and exercise, that will lessen the pain in my life.

I had shoulder surgery 3 months ago; torn rotator cuff and bicep so I have not been able to do my “normal” exercises, but soon you will see more blog posts about exercise as well.

I have started doing more that I like to do rather than just things for my kids all the time. Sometimes being a mom can be all consuming and it’s good to take time out for ourselves every once in a while.

I love to sing and write music so I downloaded the GarageBand band app and have been recording my songs. It’s very therapeutical. Doing things you love can reduce stress and anxiety. That’s important to remember, especially as a mom or a parent trying to raise young humans.
