Help! I'm just trying to be a good parent while also not losing my own identity. That's the truth, and the title of my most recent blog post. It's not easy being a parent. There's always something. I literally said to my three year old today: "Mom has value beyond being your bathroom buddy." He knows how to pee by himself and yet I'm always first on the invite list when it's time to go. 

I know, one day I'll miss the VIP bathroom pass. But that doesn't mean I always love it in present day.  So how do we keep our sanity in a world full of chores, kids and our own desire's and need's? While I don't have all the answers, I attempt to share some of my sanity tricks with you today.
