So, I have a confession to make, and it’s kind of a silly/nerdy confession. For anyone who read my first post, knows that I am an animal lover and I’m also a vet tech, so this is where my confession stems from. (And I just came from work so it’s weighing on my mind). Probably my biggest pet peeve is when people buy a dog, and then decide a few months later that they don’t ... Read More »
This is just a little story about me, it’s kind of personal and very honest. I hope that, maybe someone who is, or has felt the same is given some piece of mind knowing that there is someone else out there like them! So I’ll start off by saying something you probably aren’t used to hearing from a woman…I never dreamed of having children or being a wife. Shocking, right?!? M... Read More »
I feel like these two things do not go well together. Anybody else? Having anxiety is one thing, and being pregnant is another. But having both…is a whole new ball game. I could go on and on, but someone who understands/has/deals with someone with anxiety knows how awful and traumatic and debilitating it can be. Now if you’ve ever been pregnant WITH anxiety you’ll understa... Read More »
For the past two plus years, I’ve started my day by pleasantly waking up to Daft Punk’s Lose Yourself to Dance which quite possibly could be the best wake-up call ever. No more jolting awake to some terrible repetitive beeping sound. This tune starts slowly and quietly, and builds up into an awesome catchy beat. Definitely check it out. https://youtu.be/NF-kLy44Hls Then I typically scr... Read More »
My oldest daughter, MJ, has type I diabetes. I don’t write about it frequently although it is very much ingrained in our daily lives, but nowadays life just rolls along without much incident as far as the disease goes. I can’t figure out how something that drives me nuts multiple times a day and has a good bit of control over some of the function of our days has become sort of ho-hum ... Read More »
Like most women, I wear lots of hats in my life. Finding an equilibrium that suits me and my family is a constant, free-flowing evolution. As a lifestyle and wellness coach, I see a lot of the same themes with my clients as well. Sharing these common themes with each other is really important, so we don’t feel so isolated in our experiences. I’m going to lead by example with the list below.... Read More »
Hi, I am Kristin Cogan and I am a wife and stay home mom to my 3 1/2 year old son and 14 month old daughter. I wasn’t “looking” for a part-time job but I was introduced to Rodan & Fields by a few of my good friends. But, after hearing that I could partner with the doctors who created Proactiv Solution, didn’t have to host parties or stock product, and make my own hours, all... Read More »

Each word’s explanation will illustrate significant personal meaning, application and ultimately demonstrate, What It’s Really Like… This week I was blessed to witness the birth of my second son. Beyond the pregnancy preparation and build up to delivery there is a substant... Read More »
