Welcome to THE SHOE BOX DAILY where a mom’s crazy life meets simple ideas, inspiring stories and perspective changing moments one pair of shoes at a time.

My name is Catherine and I am a wife, mother to 3 small people, a runner, author and speaker. As the editor of  THE SHOE BOX DAILY I  have found my gift in writing and blogging.

I strive to find simple solutions for managing everyday stresses. I have been blessed with lots of opportunities to practice healthy coping skills and I, like you wear many shoes in my life. I think it is important to live simple, realize what inspires you and keep things in perspective.

I hope you enjoy the site as much as I enjoy writing for it.  My goal is to bring you simple, healthy ideas that will enable you to cope with the (big and small) stresses of life.  I think it is important to realize that we may not choose the shoes we wear, we do have to learn to “walk” in them and should try and make the best of them.
