Yes. The title is not a joke. Motherhood has introduced me to a slew of situations that I never in my wildest dreams thought about happening to me. This process was not fun but it is not the end of the world. If this has happened to you and you found my post on Google – THERE IS HOPE! Don’t beat yourself up for not noticing the crayons in your laundry. It sucks, but it is fixable! If this hasn’t happened to…
Happy November 1st! Wow, I can’t believe I just wrote that! October seems to have flown right on by. October wouldn’t be complete without having an awesome, fun-filled Halloween and that’s exactly what we did! This year was Julia’s 3rd Halloween and she went dressed up as a Pumpkin! We got her costume in September on Amazon before the prices went up which I definitely recommend doing if you can. Initially, it was expected to storm on Halloween so we…
My super simple recipe for banana bread that is moist and delicious! Banana bread is a great Fall treat and it pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee! I have tried countless banana bread recipes over the years but this is my favorite way to make it. It comes out very moist and the outer layer has a slight crust to it depending on how long you bake it for (I usually bake it for about 60-65 minutes but…
In a previous post, The Magic of Journaling I briefly touched upon Future Self Journaling mentioning that I would eventually make a post specifically about my experience with it and why I would recommend it to others. Well, this is that post! I first learned of The Holistic Psychologist aka Nicole LePera a few months ago on Instagram. I found her page and her Future Self Journaling (FSJ) work to be very interesting. To me, it resembled a way of using…
There are so many ways to give back this holiday season and any time of the year. I hope this post inspires you to do one, or all the things listed!
When I was in my 2nd year of high school, one of my media shop teachers did an activity where we all sat at a round table and he went one by one and told us what he perceived to be our “fatal flaw”. In my life, there have been a handful of memories that really stand out — defining moments if you will — and this particular memory is one of them. My fatal flaw was: I’m afraid to speak…
As I am writing this it is October. Only three months remain before we embark upon 2020. I have recently realized that this season of Fall is the perfect time to begin thinking about the goals you would like to achieve in the coming year. 2019 was the first year of my life that I made a New Year’s Resolution that I consistently worked on throughout the entire year. I learned that when you focus on goals that are realistic and obtainable…
Hygge. You may have heard this term floating around in recent years. In truth, it’s not actually a new thing but rather something Danish people have been practicing for years – a cultural tradition. After learning about Hygge it shouldn’t surprise you that the people of Denmark are considered to be some of the happiest people in the world! Hygge (pronounced “hoo gah”) is a Danish term to describe a lovely feeling of coziness, comfort, and simplified living. Having a…
Happy Friday readers! 🙂 Today’s post is dedicated to journaling — why I started, how it is changing my life, and how to get started if journaling is something that you want to begin doing. Let’s jump right in! 🙂 Although I used to write a lot in high school, I stopped writing regularly around 2011. By that point, my life was much less stressful than it had been in recent years. I was no longer dealing with the stress…
It is bound to happen to all of us at least once in our lives. Someone that you once called “friend”, a best friend even, sort of slips out of your life with no explanation. I’m not talking about getting into an argument and mutually parting ways. I’m talking about situations where no conflict occurs, and yet the person just drops out of your life as though you never existed. It’s called being “ghosted” and I want to tell you my story…
