FeaturedJust say no.
Learn How To Say No. That’s the advise I’ve been given numerous times over. I’m a people pleaser and want to make everyone happy and meet all of the expectations all of the time. Essentially what that translates to is I want to project a level of perfection. Perfection in my physical appearance, perfection in… Read more

FeaturedThese are my people – a fan girl admission.
I was living in 1999 last night (but with much better style and self confidence) as some of my childhood gal pals and I transformed into our 12 year old selves and fan girled over the Back Street Boys. If you don’t know who that is you were either born after 2010 or have been… Read more

FeaturedConfessions of a dirty mom.
Here is my dirty little secret: I haven’t washed my hair in four days. Let me start this by clarifying I did shower over these past four days. I’m not THAT dirty. Being in the barre3 studio three days in a row kind of makes it unavoidable to shower. I honestly didn’t have any intention… Read more

I couldn’t grasp the concept of having to prioritize taking care of myself and specifically identifying ways to do that. Maybe because before I held these roles I… Read more

FeaturedMy First Blog Post
Here it goes. My first blog post. When deciding to jump on this bandwagon there were a number of motivating factors that lead me here. (I’ll get to those in a minute.) But like every new venture in life there were questions and moments of doubt. Am I reproducing in an already saturated market? What… Read more

A veteran mom’s nursery must have list.
Little man was insistent on helping daddy finish up painting sister’s room last night. He looked around after getting a few paint strokes in and exclaimed, “Sister’s gonna love it.” Luckily there was no carpet harmed in the painting of this nursery 😜 But in all seriousness we’re really making some progress on getting things… Read more

Why didn’t anyone warn me?
This is hard. As a mom I’m frequently feeling like I’m on the brink of failing and today has been no different. Its 1:00 and I haven’t showered. I’ve battled my son on so many little things I couldn’t list them all. He’s hit me at least twice and I’m embarrassed to say how often… Read more
