Who Says You Can’t Do It All?

I once had a professional in the industry tell me that I couldn’t do it all. She suggested I stick to 1 thing, stay in my lane, and focus on that. While advice like this is really great for some, 2020 taught me that keeping all my eggs in 1 basket is risky business.
Therefore, you will find all kinds of variety here that help you handle all the hats you wear as a busy Mom. From house reno ideas, to recipes, from small business tips, to “Mom Life” product reviews.
I like variety… and there’s no reason I can’t be all that I want to be… and you can too!

This one is for the #mickeyballoon 🖤🤍

The one all of us parents cringe at,

The one that feels like the biggest waste of hard earned money,

The balloons we try to steer our kids away from because toddler fomo is real . . .

Buy. The. Balloon.

Just opened this gem of an album from my very first trip to Disney.

I didn’t know it existed.

But no doubt— meticulously curated by my grandmother.

A collection of gadgets, gizmos, and thingamabobs my 5 year old self deemed important.
— “here save this drink stirer.” — “I NEED this shoe shine cloth.” — “I wish I could take this pillow chocolate home.”

And then there’s the mickey balloon. My very first one. Carefully deflated and folded in. 🖤

Buy the balloon. I promise, It will be worth it 💕

The truth is - there is no magic answer. True hea

The truth is - there is no magic answer.

True healing comes when mind and body align.

As a type A person- finding inner peace feels like an impossible feat. A checkbox that must… get… checked…. 😖

But the reality is,

Inner peace is a journey.

Sounds cliché, but think about it . . .

Our lives move in seasons.
Some better than others.
But because one rolls into the other,
We can’t actually arrive at “our best selves.”

Because as soon as we’ve arrived to that station,
You’re on your way to the next.

Refusal to improve your life,
In any capacity,
Is stagnation.
The antithesis of growth.

Keep going darling.
Today may be a rough season,
But there’s always a great big beautiful tomorrow 💕 ✨

“But What About Barbie??” One of the most for

“But What About Barbie??”

One of the most forgotten lines of the #barbiemovie
Yet the one that resonates the most with those of us who fall into that “stereotypical” category.

Body shaming is real.
And it’s a street that goes both ways.

I’ve never felt more
lonely.
ashamed.
self conscious.
guilty.
little.
sad.
unhappy.
rejected.
disempowered.

Than I have in the last few years.

People’s assumptions of me before they meet me,
People “annoyed” by my kindness and caring nature,
The snarky remarks about my weight.

I’m a person too.
A human.
With feelings.

If we are going to celebrate that all shapes are beautiful,
then let’s celebrate them ALL
👇🏻👇🏻

The skinny women
The sick women
The 90 year old women
The handicapped women
The curvy women
The tall women
The short women
The voluptuous women
The less curvy women
The kicking cancers ass women

Women of all shapes and sizes, colors, background, heights, smarts,
ALL THE THINGS 🙌🏼

Let’s celebrate all the women of the world 🌎 🎀 #sicknotugly #hotmesswithgrace #whataboutbarbie #barbiequotes #barbiecore #barbiegram #bodyshaming #bodyshamingiswrong #skinnyshaming #spooniesisterhood #chronicillnesslife #blondejokes #notadumbblonde #dumbblonde #womensupportingwomen #womensupportingotherwomen #fixthecrown #queenshelpingqueens

TL;DR ➡️ I’ve been feeling awful since Janua

TL;DR ➡️ I’ve been feeling awful since January, my MS specialist didn’t feel like it was MS.

🐇 Went down all the rabbit holes to little avail (ya know, us spoonies find minor annoyances along the way lol 😅)

6️⃣ month MS checkup, still feeling terrible. Still no MRI. But “let’s schedule a fall one for these new symptoms you’re having.”

😳 ACCASCUSE ME ‼️⁉️

You told me I wasnt having new symptoms all. year. long.

Soooooo, off to find a new Dr I go!
🤞🏼Wish me luck- that it’s a good fit.

And please give me all your tips,
And favorite questions to ask new doctors!! 🙏🏻

I’ve never done this before, so I’m a tad nervous haha
