New Year Intentions That You’ll Want to Keep
Happy New Year, friends! Can you believe its already 2024? Where is the time going, like seriously. With the new year comes the inevitable.. It’s time for resolutions and intentions! Don’t let that scare you off – I also have experienced the stress of trying to be perfect because its now a new year. That approach doesnt work for me, especially after noticing how quickly I dropped those resolutions. I used to bite off way more than I could chew, and it just rarely ever works that way. I remember this one time me and my then boyfriend (now husband) wanted to try a different way of eating. We did…

27 Life Lessons to Help You in Adulthood
Hey everyone! I recently celebrated my 27th birthday on June 20th, and I suddenly started thinking of what I have learned these last 27 years. Now, 27 isn’t a typical “milestone” like 16, 18, 21, or 30. But, it was personally significant for me, so I put together these 27 life lessons that have helped me in adulthood because I know it will help you too.

Journaling Helped Me in These 5 Ways
If you’re like me you probably have kept a journal at some point in your life. I started out with a cute little journal dating back to 2001 (which I still have) No lie, I was FIVE years old when I started that journal. Obviously there wasn’t much substance in those journal entries, but I’ve always loved writing down my thoughts. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to do this! On the other hand, maybe you’ve never had a journal before and you want to step into your Stefan or Elena era (if you watch TVD, hi new bestie.) You might be wondering how to start, what to…

How to Prioritize Self-Care in Your Busy Life
Being a mom means a lot of things – my son is almost 9 months, so I’m new(ish) to this. But, it didn’t take me long to realize self-care is not high on many of our to-do lists. From the newborn stage, sleep regressions, teething, crawling, full on toddler who won’t nap, and beyond… it seems like there’s barely enough time to drink our coffee warm (iced coffee will become your best friend.) let alone get our nails done or something. You need to prioritize self-care. I know It’s really hard sometimes, and easy to put off, but it is super important. Self-care helps with maintaining your physical and mental…

Protecting Your Family From Toxic People
Many millennials and Gen-Z are doing what the world hasn’t really seen before. We’re calling out toxicity, and dysfunction. You may have stumbled across videos on the internet where the older generations are baffled by these decisions, claiming that it’s entitlement or lack of respect. When in reality it’s calling out harmful behavior, and protecting your peace from the ones who continuously try to cross your boundaries. (make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss my next post on setting boundaries!) It can be extremely challenging, and complicated, but unfortunately sometimes it’s necessary. When I was pregnant last year I learned so much about myself, and had to make some…
