The Peaceful Mom

You don’t just want to “make it through the day.” You want to enjoy it.

You want to be the mom who giggles at bedtime stories instead of snapping because you’re too tired. The mom who actually listens during those car ride conversations instead of being lost in her to-do list. The mom who can look back on the little moments and know she was there, really there.

But when you’re constantly running on fumes, those moments slip by in a blur.

You’re in the room, but you’re not present.

You’re moving through the motions, but you don’t feel connected.

You’re doing the best you can, and no one faults you for that, but how much better would you feel if you could slow down and really take it all in?

✨ It starts with small shifts.
💫 Figure out your values
💫 Make your priority the priority
💫 Make your intentions known

You don’t have to give up who you are.

It’s more about taking who you are and ensuring that the responsibilities you take on and the things you do during the day have meaning.

As you start to recognize why you do things and focus on making time for the priority you set, your day to day life becomes more meaningful and your connections with those around you start to deepen.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about trust in who you are and developing the daily peace that comes from knowing everything you do has a purpose and adheres to your values. 🌸

Celebrate the Good

We’re often so quick to point out flaws—in ourselves and in others. But what if we shifted our lens? What if we chose to notice and celebrate what’s good instead?

Imagine how it would feel if someone noticed something beautiful in you and spoke it out loud. You’d light up, wouldn’t you? That’s the power of celebration—it multiplies the good. And it’s something you can do for others, and for yourself.

When you see someone shining, tell them. When you accomplish something, no matter how small, celebrate it. Don’t brush it off—let it matter. Life isn’t meant to be all critique and correction. It’s meant to be shared joy.

So today, find something good—in your family, your friends, in yourself. Name it. Celebrate it. Let it ripple out. That’s how light spreads. ✨

Christmas is my favorite season of the year!🎄

So much anticipation and preparation leading up to it, with the culmination of family, friends, celebration and thanksgiving at the end of the year.

What a beautiful time to take a step back and really reflect and focus on the blessings you have in your life.

🎁 It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of buying presents, decorating and making sure you have everything perfected for the parties and gatherings that will be occurring.

But don’t forget to slow down and embrace the stillness, allow your mind to rest and rejoice in the beauty of your life.

I know there are so many hardships this time of year as well. 💔

Wonderful people like my aunt and cousins who will be spending their first year without their husband and dad. It will be a tough season for them, and I pray that they will find peace among the whirlwind of emotions that have been going on for several weeks now.

Reflecting on his life, there are so many amazing memories I have of him, too many to name, but I hope that they will find joy in remembrance. In the memories of him coming in with his saggy pants after checking on the cows, or the light in his eyes after going snow machining. The sometimes painful hugs that were prevalent whenever he came in the door that were always filled with love, and the smile he had on his face when he was giving them knowing he was making a lasting impression.

My hope is that they treasure and hold these memories close, knowing his love lives on as the foundation of everything their family shares. 🥰

And if you are going through a season that is difficult, please know that my prayers and love are coming your way along with one of those amazing bear hugs, just like my uncle Marvin gave.♥️

Merry Christmas to you all, and I hope that you find peace, joy and rest in this holiday season.

With much love,
Shawna

Happy Thanksgiving from your CRW family.

11/26/2025

In the middle of all the meal planning and preparations, here's my hope for this Thanksgiving and Christmas season:

That we'll remember WHY we are doing all of this. ❤️

We do it for the people we love and who love us. To celebrate being together. To be grateful for our blessings.

But, what if we expanded our circle?

If you know someone who needs a kind word or an invitation to the table, reach out. Let them know they're loved.

Look to your local schools, food banks, shelters, churches, or community groups to see where you can help either with donations of food, money or time.

Gratitude isn't just about what we have—it's about what we can give.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. Let's make it a season of unexpected joy for someone who really needs it. 💕

Do you run out of time for what you want to do? ⌛

Do you look back at the end of the day or week and wish you had done something different with the time you had? 🥺

I know I do.

In fact, I know that I have allowed some things to take up way more of my time than they should.

Instead of going to throw the ball with my son, I have gotten sucked into a good movie or tv series that took 2-5 hours of my time.

Or I didn’t get the things done that I needed to do, because I got pulled into looking at pictures on my phone, or endlessly scrolling through social media.

Information is prevalent and even the slightest thing that I don’t know, I end up picking up my phone and looking it up just because I can.

Another moment of time that passes me by. ☹️

In the end is it really that “big of a deal”?

For me, it is.

I was recently visiting my sister and my parents were there.

Nearing the end of our trip, my mom made a comment about how we were all on the phone at one point, and instead of putting it down, I became defensive.

In the end all I did was hurt my mom, and felt guilty about it for the next several days - even now. 😔

And I see the same behavior in my kids and husband at times.

So, I am making a choice.

CRW is reducing its social media presence.

I don’t want to be just another thing that takes up your time, and distracts you from the things you need or want to do that bring value to your life.

I want you to spend more time on your relationships, loving on your family or being in a conversation with your friends. 🥰

Getting outside and playing in the snow, rain or sun whatever it happens to be that day.

I encourage you to put the phone down, turn off the tv and spend some time with yourself and those you love.

You will still hear from me, but only if you choose to do so. 🙋‍♀️

I will be posting on social media on the 15th of each month.

But if you like the content and want to hear a little more you can sign up to receive emails every other week. I will post a link to sign up in the comments.

As always if you have a question or comment you would like to share, please feel free to email me. I am happy to have a chat. 💕
