Life can get crazy and overwhelming, and when it does, it’s important to take a moment to regroup. I know firsthand how essential it is to pause and reset, because when I’m at my best, I show up better for myself and my family.  Here are five of my favorite things that help me get […]

We officially start our first full year of homeschooling tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited! While we’ve been doing some activities over the summer, like Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech and Vision Therapy for Isabella and JJ, this marks the beginning of a new chapter for us. Isabella has spent time working on her reading, […]

I need to start by apologizing. I often talk about routines, habits and ways to make life easier because I truly believe in their power. But I worry that I might be giving the impression that our life is perfect—and that’s far from the truth. We don’t live in a picture-perfect home, and I definitely […]

I’m often asked, “How do you get your kids to do chores?” It brings back memories of being a kid, where chores were a regular part of life. I learned so many valuable lessons from them—responsibility, accountability and the understanding that nothing is simply handed to you. Despite having chores, I still had plenty of […]

As moms, we all have those good days and those tough days. Some mornings, we wake up already feeling the weight on our shoulders, knowing it might be a long day. Other times, we start the day with a happy heart, believing it’s going to be great—and sometimes it is! But there are also those […]

I always say God has a funny way of working. Over a week ago I posted a blog about changes. How change can be good and hard, because Jimmy and I have gone through a lot of change in the last 11 months.    What I didn’t know was later that day after I posted […]

I bet you have noticed a lot of changes over the last year or so, and I would like to share with you how and why these changes came about. You see Jimmy and I went away together in September, and we were both at a crossroads in our professional lives. Jimmy was being placed […]

Our goal at the beginning of this year was to go on more dates. As parents that is not always easy, but it is necessary. Those dates are important to keep you connected as a married couple. With Jimmy’s schedule we do a date day or a lunch date a few times a month. However […]

Let’s talk about how kids are so different.    If you remember I said kids are like waffles and spaghetti. All kids are different, which I know you know. Isabella is the opposite of JJ. She is like a plate of spaghetti opposite of JJ being a waffle. He thrives on structure, but then needs […]

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 […]

We are a couple weeks into a New Year. What are some things you are set out to do differently this year? I am gonna share with you what I am doing differently and why over the next few weeks. Some of the things I actually started doing in the last few months of 2023. […]

Happy New Year! Are you excited for 2024? I always love the beginning of new things, even if they are scary. Like when you get a new pair of shoes or jeans, it always makes your feel special. I mean sometimes doing something scary can be one of the most amazing journeys we go on.  […]
