With Love, From MOPS

Hello Mama,

Can I just tell you how impressed I am with the Offline October movement started by teens to “unplug” from social media and to start “living”? I have always felt like my children and their generation, coined as the iGeneration, will lead us into new and better ways of living by simply doing. Would you be so bold as to embrace this same movement, if not for the entire month, but for 24 hours? I am continually humbled by the wisdom of youth. So, let’s do this Mama, and resolve to encourage our littles in their endeavors for strong interpersonal relationships and connections – even if that means we need to unplug too!

XOXO,

Jinny + The MOPS Magazine Team

You’ve probably already made 84 decisions today, and it may only be 9 a.m. Hello, dearest, welcome to motherhood. Making decisions for ourselves can be hard enough; then we add in making decisions for everyone in our family. And add to that pressure the fact that some of the decisions

The Work of Self-Care
