That Friday feeling is a good one. Time to rest, relax, recharge, and re-energize our bodies, and time to un-do all the good we did this week (hello, red wine and less than stellar meals). There. I said it. While I’m not a fan of dieting, I do live a relatively healthy lifestyle, but it’sContinue reading “Weekend Check-in Challenge: Your Diet is About More Than What You Eat”
Best Casual Sneakers Worth the Splurge
Three years ago, anyone who knows me would have laughed hysterically if I said I was wearing sneakers anywhere other than to work out. Honestly, I was the Manolos-to-the-grocery-store, always dressed up, never casual kind of gal (and there is nothing wrong with that!). But, in the past few years, I’ve become a little moreContinue reading “Best Casual Sneakers Worth the Splurge”
How will the world remember you when you’re gone?
What will people say about me when I’m gone? Morbid, I know; but also such a deep question I’ve been asking myself often over the course of the past 5ish weeks. I lost my grandmother in January just two weeks shy of hopping on a plane for Texas to celebrate her 100th birthday for theContinue reading “How will the world remember you when you’re gone?”
Living Your Best Life in 2021 Part Two: Make Time Each Day for Simple Pleasures
Happy Wednesday! We are well into our second week of a brand-new year, and it seems that 2021 has taken on a ‘hold my beer,’ persona. You know what? It’s fine. We are all fine. You know why? Because the only person who can make or break your day is you. If you’re focused onContinue reading “Living Your Best Life in 2021 Part Two: Make Time Each Day for Simple Pleasures”
Living Your Best Life in 2021 Part One: Learning to Recognize and Minimize Your Fears
Happy Thursday! Scrolling through social media is eye-opening. I have so many thoughts as I scroll through my feed and read the posts of those around me. While it can be fun and enjoyable, a fun way to connect with loved ones far away and to keep in touch with people who were part ofContinue reading “Living Your Best Life in 2021 Part One: Learning to Recognize and Minimize Your Fears”
Living Your Best Life in 2021 Part One: No More Living in Fear
Happy New Year! It’s the first week of a brand-new year, and I think I speak for many (if the statuses I saw all morning on social media are any indication of how people feel) when I say that it was nice to begin the new year on a Thursday evening so that it allContinue reading “Living Your Best Life in 2021 Part One: No More Living in Fear”
Happiness Does Start at Home
Happy Tuesday! It’s election day in the United States, and it’s the day millions of people will flock to the polls to cast their vote…and it’s a day that will go down in history. This is one of the most important presidential elections in history – and I mean all of history. It’s a bigContinue reading “Happiness Does Start at Home”
Life Update
Happy Wednesday, loves! It’s been three long, lovely months since my last post, and it was a much-needed break for me and my creative mind. The truth is that sometimes I feel relatively uninspired, and I don’t have much to say. If you want to dig further down to the root of that truth –Continue reading “Life Update”
“She Makes It Look So Easy…”
Happy Wednesday! Being a parent is hard work, y’all. Hard work. I can’t think of one thing – other than the actual loving them part – that is effortless and easy. My husband and I have been doing this parenting thing now for over 12 years, and we still don’t have a clue what weContinue reading ““She Makes It Look So Easy…””
It’s Okay to Make Mistakes
Happy Wednesday! We all make mistakes, and it’s okay to make the wrong decision. We all do it. We make mistakes, we do the wrong thing, we wish we could change our minds. The great news, thankfully, is that most situations allow us to do just that; change our minds. We did it, and weContinue reading “It’s Okay to Make Mistakes”
