I recently had a conversation with my masseuse and I swear it’s crazy how the world and the stars are so aligned in this world. It seems as though when somebody has an issue or somebody’s going through something that is difficult it’s like the universe brings you to people that are also experiencing the… Continue reading The Oxytocin List
Dear sweet girl, you are SIX
As I write this letter to you, I am giving you all my emotions, all my love, all my feelings and all my heart. I don’t expect you to read this at six years old, nor do I expect you to understand. But I do hope that one day you can read this and feel… Continue reading Dear sweet girl, you are SIX
I need directions
My daughter is almost 6 and I always knew she was strong willed from the womb. She’s always been a leader, likes to have control, knows what she wants, needs melatonin to sleep, has a ton of energy, thrives with routine and structure, needs to be stimulated and loves to talk and sing- at home.… Continue reading I need directions
You Saved Me
I’ve always struggled with anxiety, but I can’t remember struggling with it as a kid. I do remember feelings of sad and other smallish feelings but none of them felt like big feelings of anxiety. I remember my anxiety started in high school and then trickled into college where it got worse and I felt… Continue reading You Saved Me
Dear Hudson, You are FOUR
Dear Sweet Boy, You are such a blessing to my life and I love watching you grow, but as I always say, it breaks my heart at the same time. Do I pray for you to stay little? Or do I pray you won’t ever struggle or feel pain? I live my life for you… Continue reading Dear Hudson, You are FOUR

Grace. Just that.
I’m not perfect. I’m not quite sure anyone is or supposed to be for that matter. I’m sure people think they are or strive to be, but I hate that word. We are all human and we have strengths, flaws, interests, talents, things we suck at, etc. But let’s dive a bit deeper. How many… Continue reading Grace. Just that.
Breathe it in, run it out
I didn't discover running until after college really. I used to run for cheerleading as we ran through campus cheering our hearts out, but now that I think of it, we were just annoying. I was huffing and puffing, had way bigger boobs, ate Ramen noodles and drank pineapple juice and Malibu frequently. But as… Continue reading Breathe it in, run it out
The Last Time
I feel like I’m reaching a new phase in my life and I’m not sure I like it here. It’s that weird phase where your babies start to turn to big kids, where both kids will be in a school- with kids who might try to steal their innocence and teach them bad things, where… Continue reading The Last Time
Light up your soul, baby
I know I preach about self-care and doing what makes your soul happy. I preach about being a busy mom and knowing the feeling of exhaustion way too well. I preach about trying to find alone time and doing what make you happy. But I don't talk a lot about why. We all know when… Continue reading Light up your soul, baby
