How to Play Better, Relax More

Age two isn’t always pretty. “Do it self!” my daughter wails every time I try to do ANYTHING for her (sound familiar to anyone out there?).

But age two can be incredibly fun and less stressful than we think, says Early Childhood Development specialist Samantha Sawyer of Brightening Connections. Changing your mindset and parenting patterns about the “terrible twos” can help create breathing room for both you and your child, changing the entire dynamic of your relationship.

Embrace the joys & challenges of parenting your littles.

Moms— It’s Time to Renew YOU!

Joining Sarina LaMarche’s Personal Renewal Group (PRG) last year was one of the best things I’ve done for myself since becoming a mother. The monthly gatherings (for six months) brought light to my goals (now totally redefined!) and priorities, while helping me to find greater balance in my personal, professional and mothering lives.

sarinaHer next PRG starts Feb. 19, 7-8:30 p.m. at Blooma Minneapolis and meets the third Tuesday of each month for 6 months.

So what IS a PRG? It’s a supportive, nurturing, empowering group for mothers to share in reclaiming, rebalancing, and reconnecting. These groups are created specifically to explore and learn:

  1. how to “reconnect” with who you are
  2. strategies for making self-care a priority so you can live, love, and parent optimally, and
  3. how to experience greater life balance.

Each monthly session includes discussion, exercises, reflection time, and fosters community and meaningful connection with other women.

20These groups are based on the book The Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal: How to Reclaim, Rejuvenate, and Re-Balance Your Life by Renee Trudeau.
