Clarity Coaching provides life coaching services and specializes in working with moms. Life coaching can help women achieve a greater balance between their roles as moms and their identities as individuals. Services include support, new perspectives, and encouragement for women to explore their lives in a deep and meaningful way, and help them to make the necessary changes to create a life that feels more satisfying and complete. Meetings with the life coach occur weekly, by phone or in person, and follow a goal-oriented process in which the client sets the agenda.

A complimentary session is offered to help determine if coaching is right for you. During this session you will address one or two issues of importance, set at least one goal, and can begin to experience the benefits of working with a coach. Coaching is most often done by phone, so moms don't need to drive anywhere or find a sitter - they just need a little time to focus on themselves.

An accessory that keeps us organized? We're so there.

The ingenuis momAgenda was created by a busy mom (is there any other kind?) who was frazzled by keeping track of her own schedule, along with her four children's appointments, lessons, playdates, and parties. Her solution is a refined day planner that provides a way to track multiple schedules with week-at-a-view spreads with rows for each child and mom, monthly views, and places for notes, dinner ideas, and other necessities. The colors range from all-business chocolate and black to vibrant lime or fuschia.

Tottoos.Org creates personalized temporary tattoo-like decals called "Tottoos" for children's safety. Decals can be printed with a parent's cell phone number in case the child and parent become separated. Parents choose the personalization that gets printed on the decals, such as "If I am lost, please call (phone number)" or "To reach my parents, call (phone number)." These decals are recommended for children six and under, who may not have a parent's cell phone number memorized, who would become afraid if they were lost.

Medical Tottoos are available for people of any age to alert to conditions such as peanut or bee-sting allergy, asthma, diabetes, autism, seizure disorders, multiple food allergies, Alzheimer's, allergies to medication, and more. They are a highly visible and waterproof way to provide vital information in case of emergency, and can include emergency phone numbers and special instructions such as "use EpiPen" or "heart medication in purse."

Also available are Be Visible, Be Safe Glow Lights, created to keep kids safe after dark. They are pre-printed with the phrase "Emergency Contact Number" and you can write whatever number is appropriate at the time of use. The lights can either be worn as a necklace or attached to clothing. Use with young children to help keep an eye on them at night and have your phone number visible in case you get separated, or with older children and adults when they go out after dark to ride a bike, go camping, or even when boating or out on a hiking trip. The light glows for 12+ hours and not only adds visibility, but enables your emergency contact to be reached if you become injured or lost.
