My name is Melissa and I am a full time single mom who works full-time and attends school full-time. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and am incredibly family oriented. I have always had a passion for helping others, and spent a good amount of time in college volunteering for a crisis hotline. I try to teach my daughter good morals and hope to raise her to be a kind, caring and generous spirit.

I’ve spent the last few years learning more and more about mindfulness, and more recently I’ve been learning more about applying that to my parenting style. I created this blog to share my ideas with other parents who may want to be more present with their children.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the content I post, or any ideas you’d like to add or collaborate on.
