Yesterday we attempted our annual holiday photo but it didn’t go how I planned. With daylight savings coming to an end the kids were up at 4 AM and I barely had 3 1/2 hours of sleep; so suffice to say everyone was tired and cranky, including me. About 30 minutes into the session we …
A few years back, just before the holidays, I found a lump in my left breast! Thankfully it was only a cyst, but breast cancer runs in my family so the panic and fear I felt were very real! Praying to God that the lump was benign, running through my mind what the holidays would …
Today I woke up and felt like I could conquer the world!!! I was energized, despite the lack of sleep my 3 kiddos seem to be dishing out these days! I was superbly motivated to mark off everything on my to do list, but most importantly I had an overwhelming sense of 𝙱𝙴𝙻𝙸𝙴𝙵! 𝙱𝙴𝙻𝙸𝙴𝙵 in …

Now that I’m no longer pregnant I love that I can still wear it! It’s great with sandals, sneakers, booties and as the weather starts …
In the past my weight and diet have always been something I maintained but for vanity reasons not for the health benefits! During my third pregnancy I was utterly exhausted chasing two other kids around and I used that justification for not exercising or eating properly! I was cranky, had no energy and at times …
