My name is Christy. I am a teacher and have worked with kids and parents for 30 years.

It has never been easy for me to mother. We’ve had quite a few unexpected hurdles. Through that experience, I’ve learned self-compassion, mindfulness, and human-centered mothering that sees me as a person with needs and priorities. 

In November 2018, we moved again to a new town where I didn’t know anyone. On a whim, I recorded a podcast and uploaded it before we headed off to the children's science museum. This book is a celebration of that boldness. When it started, it was called Everyday Motherhood. During the great shutdown of 2020, I changed the title to Keep Calm Mother On. Each episode has always ended with a self-care and family connection play idea. I want it to be practical and helpful for you, the voice I wish I had found when my husband was on his first deployment, and I had two toddlers at home. 

 

Put your hand on your heart with me and breathe. You are doing a good enough job. 

 

Don’t give up. I am so lucky to mother shoulder to shoulder with you right now. I am glad you are here.

 

 

 

Self-Care: What would it look like to play?  For 5 minutes? 10? 60? 90?  What does play look like for you and not your kids. 

 

Family Fun:  Go grocery shopping as a family to buy food to donate to others.
