I’ve been running a business from home for over 10 years now, and will be the first to tell you there are a lot of unique challenges of working from home as a mom. Are you a new work at home mom? Read on to see what those are. When I got pregnant with my […]
I’m not typically a “how to blog” blogger. In fact, if you’ve followed me for awhile, you know that I really like to steer clear of all of the “expert advice.” But, I keep getting asked how to start a blog, so I really want to give it a shot. Umm…can I be totally honest […]
Hi friends! Today, I wanted to share my thoughts on MLMs. I know, I know. I just heard all of you collectively cringe away from your computer screen, but hear me out! MLMs, or multi-level-marketing/network marketing/direct sales companies get a really bad reputation. Maybe you have friends that have hounded you to join their teams. […]
It’s been a full year (plus some days, because #harvey) since I started this little blog of mine! It’s hard to believe. I’ve run several blogs in the past, but none that I devoted nearly this much time to. This blog is my passion project. My blood, sweat, and tears. It contains so much of […]

I knew it would happen eventually. I’ve reached the point in the year when I am completely unmotivated to do anything. I have no motivation to work, or write, or create those pretty printables you all love. I’m stressed out with the end of the school year hustle (all the mamas feel me on this […]
Today, you woke up with big plans. You were going to chase your dreams and get things accomplished! After all, this is the year we chase our goals, right? But, now it’s 10 pm, and you realize your to-do list is still full. That’s weird. You sure felt busy today…Is it possible you were just procrastinating […]
I have a confession to make. I really, really enjoy getting a peek at how other people spend their days. Like, really spend their days. Not the Pinterest-worthy version of it. Does that make me sound like a stalker? I hope not. I’m a big fan of the saying “don’t compare your day to day to […]
