This weekend was a peaceful one for me. Lately I’ve been super overwhelmed and feel like my life has been turned upside down for the past 2-3 months. I have this idea that since I know about emotional regulation and self care that life will somehow be easier for me? Turns out it’s not! Like …
I did a branding photo shoot for the first time! I can’t tell you how many new things I’ve done since I started my business, some that I didn’t even realize were a thing! This photo shoot was a fun new thing for sure. I learned so much doing this! I learned how much work …
My family, like many others, got sick and ended up in quarantine. It just so happened that when my kids were able to get back on track, the school went into remote learning for two weeks. My kids had been stuck at home for two and a half weeks when my son texts me to …

Tuesday is going to be a great day!!! Not only is someone coming to clean my house, I’m also having pre-made meals dropped off that I plan to eat for lunch! It’s quite literally a dream come true. When my kids were little and I was a young struggling single mom the idea of having …
When I went to San Diego to visit my daughter the thing I was most excited about was the beach. I could not wait to get there and see the ocean and sit in the peace and soak it all in. My favorite beach….Ocean Beach. For years that was my go-to place. When I was …
