We’re almost one week into the month of May and it’s time to check in and see how everyone is doing.

Hanging in there? Still putting one foot in front of another?

If you don’t currently have school-aged kids, you might not be aware (or remember) just how crazy this month can be. I first wrote about it HERE, expounding on how wonderful May should be, but how brutal she actually is. (This is one of my most popular posts, so check it out!)

Well, I’m back at it this month, writing over at Des Moines Moms Blog about what it takes to thrive in this crazy month. It’s like a triathlon. Just when you finish swimming, it’s time for a 100+-mile bike ride. And when that’s done - who hoo! - lace up those running shoes, sister, because it’s marathon time.

You can read my latest post about May HERE and hopefully it will encourage you to conquer the “Iron Mom.” If you’re feeling stressed, crazy and ready to collapse, remember, it’s not you - it’s May!

Keep moving forward, friend. You got this!
