As moms, we’re queens of juggling it all: schedules, meals, school drop-offs, work, homeschool and everything in between. But often, the first thing to fall off the to-do list is something equally important…self-care. How do we do it all? How do we balance the unending demands of motherhood while still taking care of ourselves? To […]

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you felt like you had everything planned, only for life to throw you off track? Or maybe you stare at your to-do list, feeling so overwhelmed that you don’t even know where to begin. That was me today. I started the week with a plan, but […]

Before I get into decorating, I go through our home and declutter it, it makes decorating for Christmas a lot easier and less stressful. The holiday season is a joyful time filled with family gatherings, Christmas decorations and making memories. But as wonderful as it is, it can also be overwhelming if your home is […]

When I first started decluttering our home, I had no idea the impact it would really have on me. I thought I was just clearing out physical items, but little did I know, I was also creating space in my mind and life. As I removed clutter, I felt lighter, both mentally and emotionally. Isn’t […]

Does the word “courage” scare you or excite you to try something new? For me, it sparks the desire to be brave and step into something different. Courage isn’t just a word; it’s a powerful tool that leads to confidence—something we all long for. How often do we say, “If only I had more confidence”? […]

So I have a question for you…one I want you to really think about. How are you doing? I mean how are you really doing? Are you afraid to be really honest answering that question? Afraid people might judge you? Afraid to admit the truth?   I get it!! I was there, not too long […]

Do you ever wonder if you are allowed to be happy or if you are happy? Like I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Let’s say it’s been a rough few weeks since Jimmy had surgery. It has added a lot of extra stress on me worrying about him and taking care of […]

How many times have you thought at the end of the day, I wish I was more productive? I pretty much think that a lot, especially the past few weeks. Like I am wondering where the month of February went? I didn’t get done what I wanted to and some things I needed to. This […]

In the past few weeks I have learned so much about being a parent, especially our kids who we adopted. There are days that I am so sad for my kids for all that they have been through. We think there are so many memories that have been suppressed and they are starting to come […]

We are kicking off my birthday with some new recipes, some new and old traditions. The past few years or so we went away for my birthday, just Jimmy and I. Some of my birthday vacations have been cruises, Vegas, Arizona and Colorado. However this is my first birthday with kids and it is definitely […]

The past couple weeks have been a little rough if I am being honest. I finally had a day to myself to do what I wanted to do and do things I needed to do. Jimmy was at school and kids were in a track out camp. I was so excited for this day, but […]
