It’s Mother’s Day! And since I gave an update on Edison already on this blog, I figured, why not share with you all where I’m currently at in being a first time mom. Let me start by saying this: There is no easy way to be a mom. Whether you’re working, a  SAHM or somewhere in between like me, children are a difficult balancing act and this blog doesn’t really contain any answers. Rather, it’s a reflection on what I’ve learned thus far trying to balance the two. I have been pretty open across my social media accounts about the…

Another year has gone by and I can hardly believe that I’m only two years away from the big “THREE, OH”. I’m legit excited ya’ll. As I sit here with a wiggling child in my lap, I feel like I have finally entered into one of my best seasons in life. This is just the beginning.

I’m just thrilled to see what will come next for me in the next decade of my life. But my 20’s aren’t…

We’re officially out of the fourth trimester and we no longer have a newborn! And oh, how…

As I move into my 28th year of life, I want to focus on saying “Yes!” to more opportunities that I would have normally turned down. But right now, I want to reflect on how learning to saying “No”, has brought so much positivity into my life. Before I went on my trip to San Diego a year ago, I had a terrible anxiety attack. I felt like no matter how hard I tried, nothing was going right. I just couldn’t move forward with my life it felt like. I had zero energy to give to my clients, my marriage…

Before Edison made their rather dramatic entrance into this world, I had a crazy idea that returning to my regularly, tightly scheduled and carefully planned life would be a breeze. After all, in these later years in my life I’ve become somewhat of an organizing queen. I knew about the crying and sleepless nights. I knew about the energy drain that comes from trying to heal while caring for another life. I knew about the emotional fatigue that would come from the ebbing and flowing hormones (and again–lack of sleep). I knew about all of these things and yet, for some…
