With Mother’s Day coming, it’s always a reminder that this guy isn’t my own but I sure do love him like he is— 12 year old attitude and all!

To all the mamas out there, no matter what your situation is, I see you. I’m proud of you for showing up every day and loving these kiddos. Despite being stressed and frustrated, you wake up each day as if it’s a fresh clean slate and you give your best. You may need a drink by bedtime but you’re there giving all you have. Your best is enough. 💕

Work. Work. Work. It’s keeping me pretty busy t Work. Work. Work.

It’s keeping me pretty busy the next few weeks. Generally I feel a nice balance between work, life and this passion project of mine but I can totally feel the shift toward the work lately.

I’m feeling the pressure but what’s awesome is that I can recognize that I’ve been stressed at work and I can offset that with other things at home to recharge and keep me in check.

So how do I do it?

⚖️ go to bed early
⚖️ connect with friends & family
⚖️ take naps
⚖️ put in 8 hours at work and LEAVE!
⚖️ treat myself to an afternoon coffee
⚖️ color with the kids (big stress relief for me!)
⚖️ balance socializing with time alone (the introvert in me needs time alone to recharge)
⚖️ read
⚖️ eat healthy breakfast and lunches at work (thank you @cleaneatzlancaster)
⚖️ order take out to eliminate another responsibility of making dinner OR go out to dinner (or both like I did this weekend)
⚖️ watch a new show (loving Inventing Anna!)
⚖️ delegate to your hubby (I didn’t do one load of laundry this weekend— didn’t even fold!)
⚖️ plan future fun events (while it may be stressful to book your weekends, it gives you things to look forward to)

These are all the things I’ve actually done since Friday to help with this shift. I haven’t felt like doing all of these but I have definitely felt better after doing them!

My advice— Be mindful, plan tasks to help you recharge and remember that work-life balance reduces stress, anxiety, and burnout. It increases energy, promotes calmness, and improves happiness.

So how are you balancing it all right now?

Always find a reason to smile! It won’t always Always find a reason to smile!

It won’t always come easily but something you can do to boost your happiness is identify your favorite part of the day and/or 3 positives from that day.

It seems simple for some but for others, this may be struggle and that’s okay.  The fact that you are carving out time for this is a win.

Overtime, you’ll find yourself focusing more on the positive than the negative.

Every night at dinner, we go around the table and ask each other what our favorite part of the day was. Sometimes it’s big glamorous things and other times it’s really simple. The one constant is that it always makes us smile and we are always happy for each other’s wins.

What was your favorite part of today?

What were your three positives for the day?
There’s so much pressure from the world to be or There’s so much pressure from the world to be or act a certain way and it’s really freaking exhausting.

I really just want to be me, share my message and forget about the expectations I feel I have to meet. 

More importantly, I want you to feel like you can be you in this space!

So here I am being me. I worked all day. I came home and took care of the fam and once the kiddos went to bed, I sat down to put work into this page because it’s something I love.

This pretty much sums up my every day. It’s not glamorous but it’s the life I’ve created for myself and it’s the life I love.

I take the picture and I start to type my message to all of you because I truly enjoy sharing things that will motivate you to put yourself first and really nurture the person you are deep down.

I want you to realize that what I share on here is not meant to be perfect. I often feel pressure to take the perfect picture or craft the perfect post so that I can reach more and more of you but the truth is, if my content helps just one person find balance or self-love or more positive thoughts, then I’m living my mission.

I can’t keep holding back because I don’t have a photographer grade picture to post or the perfect words to say or a perfectly curated reel.

And I don’t want you to hold back either. 

If there’s something you enjoy doing that you’ve been afraid to do or can’t find the time to do, please just start and make it happen. Just do it. It doesn’t need to be perfect if it makes you happy. Toss out perfection and just do you because it’s fun!

Remember— you’re amazing just the way you are and you deserve whatever you desire. As long as it makes you happy, it doesn’t matter what others think or how many people like it.
