Ask any Baton Rouge mom what she wants for her children, and health + wellness will be one of her first responses. Whether it’s the mental health of her teenagers, how much screen time to allow her toddlers or struggling with breastfeeding, moms simply want the best outcome for their children’s overall health.
My favorite lesson to do with my four-year-olds was on the book “How Full is Your Bucket? ... for Kids.”
The concept is that every person has a bucket.
At any given moment our bucket could be full, running out, or empty. The book shows ways in which we empty and fill each other’s buckets.

I was referred to a...
It seems like I was JUST “100% that cheer mom.” You know the one with the big bag, big bows, decorated cowbells, and signs yelling “that’s my cheer star.” Yes, we were hitting highways and catching flights to competitions. And then one day it happened ... my kiddo said “Mom, it’s not fun for me anymore.” And just like that, we retired the tucks and pyramids for bars, beams, and vaults. BUT ... is she ready to compete?
