What happens when a military mom of five rediscovers her long-lost joy? Pure, unexpected tears.Something remarkable happened when I reviewed a simple social media post featuring moments from my daily life. The unintentional audio captured something I hadn't heard in years—my own genuine laughter and excitement. There I was, sitting peacefully during a thunderstorm, cheering wildly at my son's first baseball hit, and giggling alongside my kids during their "couch jump party" before our old furniture was hauled away.This wasn't just any regular moment of happiness. It was evidence of a profound transformation that occurred after implementing what I call "non-negotiables" in my daily routine. After years of feeling overwhelmed by deployments, moves, surgeries, and the constant mental load of motherhood, I had developed systems that finally allowed me to be fully present without that nagging guilt about what wasn't getting done. The most surprising revelation? I've accomplished more professionally in recent months while simultaneously resting more than I have in years.The journey from perpetual hustle to intentional presence wasn't straightforward or immediate. It required confronting the deeply ingrained belief that sitting down means wasting time, that there's always something more to be done. But what emerged on the other side is a mother who can genuinely embrace the beautiful chaos of raising five children—one who shows up with ease rather than exhaustion. If you're feeling lost in the demands of motherhood, know that it is absolutely possible to find your way back to joy. Want to take the first step?
