Nurturing your relationship is essential for a happy, healthy life together, but when parenting a baby or toddler, sometimes it just feels too hard to send your partner or spouse a lot of extra love and attention.

You end up bickering over things that really don’t matter. It might even be hard to remember the days when you fell in love and hoped for a baby. Maybe you feel sick at heart and nostalgic for the old days.

Or maybe you just feel irritated at your partner’s attempts at intimacy while you’re trying to “do it all” as a mom of young children when there’s always a dirty diaper to change or a meal to make or a skinned knee begging for a band-aid.

There is no instant fix for saving a marriage, of course. Developing healthy relationships takes a lot of love, effort and consistency.

I’m going to share with you a letter from a mama who is struggling with adapting to a recent move with twin toddlers and a stressed-out partner. She asks me if taking up walks in nature as a family has a healing effect, a counter to the stress. YES, IT DOES. I’ll tell you why.

I’ll also throw in a bit of Montessori magic for good measure! Our topic for today is Walking on the Line.

Come join me as we find the calm and connect more deeply with our loved ones

Love,
Aubrey
