What’s Next: A Retreat for Burnout Recovery
As mothers we have both experienced a burnout stage. While we have our unique stories, the walls we hit with full force seemed similar in that, we were both searching for the next step in our roles as moms, wives, business owners, and individuals. One of us is a full time work from home mom and the other a stay at home mom for five years because triplets came along. The latter situation was mom burnout at its finest, with a desire to get out into a social setting once the kids became more independent and entered school age. While not seeking a full time job, this mom found some…

Moms, how do you keep your house smelling fresh? Between the constant messy house and the generally smelly kids, I find it difficult to keep the aroma in good status. Or at least I did before I tried the Pura smart diffuser. With four boys in my house, the odors can be overwhelming. They play hard and are just pretty gross in general, as you can imagine. It is difficult to keep things clean and even after cleaning, sweaty little boys that play outside a lot just stink. The smelly socks/shoes, the great outdoors, and the obsession with tooting is quite difficult to mask. Thankfully, Pura came into my life…
