It’s day 11 into the New year. New year, new you! How are things going? Are you crushing those goals? Are you maximizing your mornings? Are you working towards your dreams? I always feel energized at the beginning of the new year. But this year? Not so much. I’m not sure why. Maybe because of […]

Surviving the hustle and bustle: a simple tip
‘Tis the season to be … jolly? Overwhelmed? Busy? Surviving? Whatever it is, this time of year can be A LOT. Even though we all know that the holiday season can get crazy, it somehow magically creeps up on us and surprises us a bit. At least it does that to me. Alas, my MIA-ness […]
My morning routine: the 3 things I (try to) always do
I feel like “morning routine” can be a bit of a buzzword. It makes sense since whatever you do coming out of your deep (or not so deep!) slumber can really influence how the rest of your day will go. I have a morning routine that I am pretty happy with. It has very much […]
Being IN IT … what is my purpose?
I have been considering purpose a lot more recently. It certainly feels like a “buzz word” sometimes. “What is your purpose?” “How do you find your purpose?” “10 steps to finding your purpose…” – that is some great click bait right there! One of my favorite podcasters (yeah, Scott Smith!) likes to say “If you […]
Shout out to the people who inspire us and don’t even know it!
I recently followed a good friend of mine as she competed in the Women’s Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. For those of you not in the world of triathlon, Kona is something you have to qualify for (kind of like the Boston Marathon for runners) – it is highly competitive and often a lifelong […]
You’re only human … give yourself (and others) grace
Each morning I try to set myself up for the day by having some quiet, alone time. It’s more to get myself in the right frame of mind as I embrace a day of unpredictability. #toddlerlife I will undoubtedly have many learning opportunities throughout the day and make mistakes along the way. It’s amazing how […]
It’s the day after a long weekend … how’s it going?
The day after a long weekend can often feel disorienting. Especially if you got away or did something you might not normally do. Maybe you’re playing catch up because you didn’t get anything done all weekend. Or you’re like “NOW I’m going to start that new eating regime!” And then Tuesday feels like “Monday” and […]
Fresh starts, new beginnings, every day
It’s been a minute since I’ve written. I have some long time readers who have noticed. LOL. Thank you for that. Life. Life gets in the way, right? And then summer comes and goes. And all the things. And now it’s the start of another school year. As a teacher, I feel like the beginning […]
A mindset that brought me more peace: “Let them”
If you have been reading my blog the past few months, you will know that I am a huge Mel Robbins fan. I think I got hooked when I heard her being interviewed on another podcast and then went and checked out all her content (books and podcast). That was it for me. I am […]
Achoo! (a gentle reminder to take care of yourself)
I had my first experience of taking care of a sick kid while also being sick. Ugh. Not a fan. At all. I sympathize with all the parents out there who have to do this. A lot. And with multiples! I am a big advocate for self-care. Taking care of yourself so you can take care of […]
