Discovering Joy

If you’ve been tasked with bathing a wild toddler, you know the struggle to get all the nooks and crannies (filled with beach sand and breakfast) just to have them smell good for an hour if you’re lucky 😉.

A favorite part of the day while my kids were little (now they’re 13 and 16!) was bath time but that wasn’t always the case. Have you ever been so focused on being perfect even during the simplest tasks, that you don’t realize how much you might be missing out on?

I didn’t always pay enough attention to their beautiful cheeks and lovely squishy tummies; I was accidentally sacrificing the quality of my parenting for the quality of their cleanliness.

Luckily, frustration changed into pure love one day while I was trying to get the dog slobber out of my three-year-old’s hair. He was fussing a bit so, as a distraction, I started putting those sticky bath wall letter toys (they magically stick to little bodies too!) all over him and I was cracking up. I realized that I was so focused on the goal - cleanliness - that I forgot the real goal - love — and when I let myself be silly, I realized that my goal should be love and connection.

I tried to slow down, smile, make bubble beards, stick letters on his back, and not get bothered by the mini-swamp on the bathroom floor. It’ll dry.

While this seems like a small matter, as a mother, it’s one of many times when tuning into what truly matters helped me discover more joy than I ever thought could be possible at that moment.

Discover Superior Joy was founded for that seemingly small, though immensely important aspect of fulfilling our purpose in life:

How can I enjoy all of my life’s blessings with faith, hope, and love while managing my responsibilities and priorities?

I understand the challenges of being a full-time stay-at-home mom and the delicate system of balancing a demanding career with a busy family. I know the struggle of managing a healthy weight, keeping my children happy and healthy, and the pressure we feel to keep a nice household. I share personal stories, insights, and practical tips, offering support and encouragement to women navigating the various seasons of life.

Having emerged from challenging periods in my own life, each low point served as a stepping stone, preparing me to support others through their journeys.

As a self-proclaimed research-nut, I dove into books and researched every phase and trial in our lives (healthy eating, exercise, vitamins, sunlight, potty training, yoga, etc…) to build a happy, healthy, and successful lifestyle for my family.

My love for all of my blessings fuels my dedication to living a healthy life so I can care for them to the best of my ability.

Join me as I explore the intersections of faith, health, and wellness, sharing the lessons I've learned along the way.
