Dealing With Stress & Anxiety During a Pandemic

I am a stressed out momma of two. One teenager with special needs. One pre-teen girl who is completely neurotypical and has such a big heart. My family has been in quarantine since March 13th when the kids came home from school for spring break. We decided to isolate then since we’re moving and we…

Why “Finding Yourself” is Bullshit

You Can’t FInd Something That Isn’t Lost. Unpopular opinion: I have been struggling for the last few years to “find myself” as I’m sure a lot of you have. Shit, some people are making millions of dollars on the idea that women need to figure out who they are and they sell books and courses…

To My Husband On Our 22nd Anniversary

Our First Date Was 22 Years Ago. I knew you would be someone who changed my life when I met you, I just didn’t know what that change would be or how huge it would end up being. It would be almost a full year later that we would start dating. I was married when…

My Super Awesome Playlist

I recently posted a playlist I found on Pinterest for a happy/pick-me-up kinda day and I wanted to create my own to share with you guys. These are the songs that if they come on I can’t help singing along with – no matter where I am. Target, drs. office, car, whatever. Music is one…

What’s Your TRUE JOY?

Rachel Hollis challenged the world recently to make a Joy List. So I thought I would put into blog format just what my top 10 (and a bonus!) joy list is. It is in no particular order. These are the things that spark TRUE JOY in my life. Catching my husband’s eye across the room…

Adidas Swift Run Shoes!

You guys, I am so excited to get these cute shoes! I am a sucker for animal prints and these shoes have been back-ordered for a while. They should be arriving any day now! Don’t meander, get to Amazon.com and get these cute shoes before they’re sold out again! As an Amazon affiliate, I may…

Love Thy Neighbor

As You Love Yourself. Jesus commanded us to do this. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these.” Mark 12:31 I don’t know…

Building a Business and Finding Your Audience

I run a digital marketing agency and that involves me being on social media just about all day, every day for multiple clients and my own business. What I have experienced with my own business is enough to drive me insane. Don’t even get me started on the things I see in my personal news…

Where God guides, He provides

Joel and I are very different people. He is more relaxed and goes with the flow where as I am more impatient and wanting what I want right now. It’s funny how life works and you get the right people when you need them. When he gets impatient, I find my zen. God must’ve known…

Depression & Anxiety at Christmas

Mental Health is Hardest During the Holidays for Some I have the kind of depression and anxiety that doesn’t allow me to stay in bed and sleep when I feel like the world is caving in around me. My anxiety says that if I do that then my kids suffer and my marriage suffers and…

Bra Review: Panache Cari

I recently purchased the Panache Cari Spacer bra for wearing under tee-shirts as its billed. I bought the champagne color and I thought it would be a great bra for this purpose. I anxiously awaited its arrival. Living in Florida, I need a light-weight bra that doesn’t have seams and is perfect to wear under…

On The Road Again

As we are wont to do, we are moving again. Our family is moving back to the Sunshine State this summer! We are super excited to be back in the land of beaches, Mickey & Minnie, swamps, gators, Spanish moss, creepy crawly bugs, and lots of family. It’s been 11 long years since we’ve lived…

Mixing Patterns

Some say it shouldn’t be done and to those fuddy-duddies, I say, “GTFOH with that negativity”.

Friday Work Wear

Casual Friday! Today, I had planned on meeting with a potential sponsor for my nonprofit so I wore more work-appropriate attire than I typically would for a Friday. Around my office, Fridays are casual. Company tee shirts and jeans with sneakers are usually the go-to. My meeting fell through but I’m still comfortable wearing what…

Just a Normal Tuesday

It’s just a normal day around here. I stayed a little later at my house to greet the deck builder and see what he has in mind for our addition. Then I spoke to the orthodontist to make a second opinion appointment for my youngest because braces are fun. And now I’m sitting at my…
