Self-care is essential for your mental and physical health
I don’t know about you but when things get really hectic I absolutely need some downtime to refuel! I’m always encouraging our dandelion community to take some time out for you because frankly we all need a little break from time to time.

Family :: Tis the Season for Some Downtime
It seems like every mom I run into these days has a look of “oh, boy, the holidays are almost here!” This time of year can be so hectic between shuffling the kids to hockey games, helping solve their quadratic equations and giving the little ones their baths, that you might skip doing the things that help keep you in a balanced and calm state. Why not take a walk with some friends? Or head out to your favorite breakfast sans kids and read a book while enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Or maybe catch up on some missed episodes – if not full seasons – of some your favorite shows. Did…
