Hey there! I’m Mikala—a family doctor, wife, mother of 5, well-being advocate, and author of the books Ordinary on Purpose and Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife. Each month my writing reaches millions of women, but I am thrilled to be connecting with YOU. I’m truly grateful to have you here!

Christmas is CUMULATIVE!!!! It all adds up!!! MOMS, WE DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL EVERY YEAR!!!!
BE PRESENT right where you are. Notice the simple, ordinary moments of your life. There is LIFE all around you. And those things are CERTAIN.
And I can’t think of anything more holy than being enchanted by this place. The people. The beauty of it all…
There will always be something to do. I know. But they are little today. And it’s such a little while. So maybe today, Momma…just go PLAY!!
That's the ultimate goal, right? To do our very best and love them like crazy and just enjoy these fleeting Kid Years as best we can???
Nobody told me I'd want to fast-forward, pause, and rewind all within the span of about three hours.
I'm over it. We're just ordinary I guess. And I wear mom jeans with T-shirts and tennis shoes.
My point is, it's never too late. That thing you've always wanted to do? It matters.
Elizabeth is my one more time. And with Lizzy I just get to take it all in. Enjoy all I can.
Somehow through all the noise in our house and all the noise in my head I keep hearing the same answer...
New Year’s resolutions are my least favorite thing. I heard this year’s top resolution is to “Be a Better Person”.
