If you’re feeling drained by trying to fit in with groups that don’t see or celebrate all of you, give yourself permission to step away. Opting out of spaces that don’t align with your values or make you feel seen is a powerful form of self-care. Your peace is worth protecting, and that includes protecting yourself from relationships that only tolerate you instead of fully embracing who you are.

It’s amazing to look back and see how much things have shifted, isn’t it? Motherhood, marriage, and life itself have a way of evolving us—sometimes in the quiet moments and sometimes in the messy, loud ones. We give thanks!

If we’re being honest, we often shy away from these questions because they’re hard. It’s easier to focus on external distractions than to really sit with ourselves. But here’s the truth: contentment doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a lifelong journey of learning, growing, and accepting.

The truth is, we’re all going to make mistakes along the way. But by being mindful of these common regrets, we can make choices that help us live more fully in the present and create lasting, happy memories with our kids. Take care of yourself, set those boundaries, and don’t forget to laugh—because you’re doing an amazing job, one day at a time.

We’ve learned to be grateful for what’s in our hands, right here and now, whether it’s a good season or a tough one. Less "should’ve, could’ve, would’ve" and more appreciating the beauty of the moment we’re in. What a beautiful season to live in! I hope this encourages you to see the green in your own life, and to keep watering it.

Let's talk about something that might hit close to home for many of us: feeling like the invisible mom. You know, that sneaky feeling when you're doing all the things for your family, yet it seems like no one really notices or appreciates all your hard work? Yeah, that. If you're struggling to find your voice and reclaim your visibility, I'm here to help.

Life's journey is filled with inevitable changes, and the tides of friendship may ebb and flow. As we evolve through various phases, some friends may drift away, while others will stand the test of time. Embracing this reality with an open heart allows us to cherish the few real friends who remain, while also being receptive to the possibility of forming new, meaningful connections. While the journey might be challenging,

Starting something new can be challenging, but it's important to remember that it's often the first step that's the hardest and oh boy did we feel that. After nights and nights or talking about this and postposing we gave ourselves the permission to follow a little passion project success or failure - the goal is to simply do this.
