Trying to plan this year’s Halloween festivities? Things might look quite different this year, given the current state of the country - but that doesn’t mean your kids have to miss out on fun!

Living amidst the uncertainty and stress of a pandemic has exacerbated this phenomenon. And even if there’s not much moms can do to change it, it’s still important to take note of the impact carrying the weight of the “mental load” of motherhood can have on a woman’s existence. 

If you’re struggling to stay healthy in the midst of the busyness of life’s demands, follow some of these simple strategies for making health and wellness a priority again!
