What I'm most thankful for this year

It's that time of year when we all take a step back and try to focus on what we are thankful for...

It's been a hard year. A truly crazy year for the whole world. We are living in the midst of a global pandemic and is has affected each of us in different ways. My family has faced significant income loss and we mourn time lost with our loved ones as we’ve kept extra distance in attempt to keep everyone healthy. Yet I know that we are truly blessed as so many have lost so much more than we have. If that is the case for your family, we offer our deepest sympathies and pray that you are able to find some joy in this holiday season. 

As I take a step back and reflect on what I'm truly thankful for in life, the number one thing that comes to mind is FAMILY. I'm thankful for my husband and for my daughter and for all of the extended family members who find joy in her like we do. Isn't it crazy how much joy children add to our lives? No matter what is going on in the world, my daughter's laugh brightens my day and lightens my heart. I am so thankful that I get to be her mother! 

I'm also thankful for each and every one of you who has supported me as I launched Beautiful Beginnings this year! It has been an incredible journey. Learning the ins and outs of running my own small business has been taxing at times, but it so rewarding to hear what a difference this business has already made it the lives of so many. Not only are little ones and their families finally getting good sleep, but several families have shared with me that they’ve experienced many unexpected benefits as well. One little guy wasn’t eating well at all but after we got his sleep on track he became a wonderful eater. Another little guy was really struggling with separation anxiety - he was clingy and fussy but now both his mom and daycare provider report that he is an entirely different child who is a joy to be with.  One mom’s chiropractor took one look at her and asked what had changed because he could tell she had moved from a state of barely surviving to truly thriving.  These families’ stories warm my heart and I feel so blessed to have been able to play such a pivotal role in each story.

Is there anything I can do to help YOUR family this holiday season? Maybe your baby isn’t napping well or your toddler is waking several times overnight or your preschooler fights bedtime with incredible determination. Or maybe you are *this* close to having a great sleeper but you need some help with one last problem area. These are all things that I can help with. Check out my packages here and feel free to reach out if you would like help determining which package would be the best fit for your family’s unique needs. I would love to help you get the rest you need so that you can fully embrace this holiday season with your little ones!
