Top Ten Things I Learned After I Resigned

I’ve learned a lot during that time and now I’m ready to share. Here it is…the long awaited, much anticipated TOP TEN LIST of things I learned after resigning from my J-O-B. If not comprehensive in coverage, it is at least true in every aspect. This journey to one year post-resignatio... Read More »

My Obsession with Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens!

My Obsession with Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens!

  I don’t know why, but ever since college I can only write with pens and not pencils. This wouldn’t be a huge issue if I didn’t have internal freak outs every time I notice that something that I wrote is off centered, doesn’t fit in the space I had, or I misspelled something. Even when I’m making notes for myself, for some reason it’s very important to me ... Read More »

The Realities of the Tightrope of Life. What Does Work/ Life Balance Mean For Me?

The Realities of the Tightrope of Life. What Does Work/ Life Balance Mean For Me?

  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 »

It’s no secret that when you have a baby, mom’s personal needs tend to come last. For example, going to the bathroom usually involves company, forget about shaving your legs in the shower, oh and the time you spend on yourself getting ready each day…let... Read More »

I Don’t Need a Huge Tribe, Just A Small Circle

Over the past month or so I’d given myself the same morale-boosting pep talk dozens of times: “I know it’s scary, but you can Do This! You can learn from experts! You can talk to people who are passionate about the same things you are! You can FIND YOUR TRIBE!” I was preparing myself mentally and emotionally for my first Blog Conference. I was about to step out as a Blogger... Read More »

From Office to Playroom

From Office to Playroom

One year ago, my husband and I had a beautiful office located on the second floor of our house. We had our diplomas, pictures of family and friends, our computer and all the other necessities that make a wonderful workspace. Fast forward to now, and we no longer have that beautiful room. What happened? We had a child who not only brought tons of joy into our lives but also hundreds of toys and bab... Read More »

Two’s Company, Three’s a Crowd? Or, Maybe NOT.

Two’s Company, Three’s a Crowd? Or, Maybe NOT.

  So, while I was at a mommy meetup group today with my kids, one of the moms said she heard that having 3 kids is easier than having just 2. I almost spit my water out, after hearing this nonsense! I told her that was a lie. I have 3 and can tell you it isn’t easier. You are outnumbered! That means, one of you has 2 and the other has 1! Maybe when they get older, it gets easier? But I ...
