We all have a hard time dealing with, well… Hard times. And after spending the last couple of days dragging my feet, I finally realized what was wrong.
I’ve been letting a certain situation in my life impact my everyday. 
Seeing The Light 
There are so many reasons to smile, starting with family. 
And little by little, I’ve been seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. 

To help me get out of the funk, I began to focus on happier things. Below I share three ways I regained my happiness: 
1. Got out of the house. 
I made it a point this weekend to not only go out with the boys, but to get out of the house. 
Sometimes being a SAHM can drive you insane if all you ever really go out to do is errands. 
2. Made my boys smile. 
Lately, I’ve been making it a point to do things they would each enjoy, including the pup. 
3. Made myself smile. 
I knew what was bothering me, so I started reaching out to different people, learning the things that worked for them and molded their strategy into my own. 
I had to have a pep talk with myself on what’s more important — my family, and their happiness. 
How do you get yourself out of the funk?

  1. I 100% agree about getting out the house! I am a SAHM and we didnt even have a second vehicle for the first 3 years of my daughter's life. Besides little walks to the park, I was stuck. Once I could get out every day, I swear I totally changed! Not only is it good for you as a mom, it is great for your kids!
