[GIVEAWAY] 4-Ticket Family Pack To The Great Lakes Science Center

I was provided full admission to the Science Center for my family and four full admission tickets for a giveaway to my readers, by Great Lakes Science Center. As always, all opinions are my own. As my children are growing older and their schoolwork gets a little more challenging, I feel like I'm working overtime to keep them engaged with their work and trying to find new ways to make learning … [Continue reading...]

My First Stitch Fix Box: Like “What Not To Wear” But Without The Humiliation

Back in the early 2000s, my favorite show was "What Not to Wear." I absolutely loved watching Clinton Kelly and Stacy London ambush an unsuspecting, fashionably atrocious woman and needle her into admitting that she needed help with her style choices. They got $5,000 for a new wardrobe (although I always thought Stacy and Clinton made them buy too many high-priced items) and assistance in … [Continue reading...]

Are You Giving Yourself Permission To Be Happy?

My 30th birthday is a little over a month away and this weekend, I took the bold step of purchasing two plane tickets (one for me and one for my hubby) to head to New Orleans to ring in 30 properly! Some of you might not realize how huge this is. I hardly ever travel if it isn't for work or a vacation with the kids. I will hop on a plane in a minute for a conference or something that will bring … [Continue reading...]

When Self-Care Starts With A Bottle Of Nail Polish

At the recent self-care retreat, our Sunday speaker Mia Redrick talked to retreat attendees about the concept of "blending"—where you fit in your me-time throughout the day. It was like a light bulb went off. When you think about it, waiting until the end of the day to feed yourself sounds foolish and a direct path to failure. I immediately tried to think of ways to include myself more fully … [Continue reading...]

The Bonds Made And Stress Released At My First National Self-Care Retreat

At the beginning of this year, I decided to lift my foot off the brake. You know how when you're first learning to drive and you slam on the brake at completely unnecessary intervals because you're scared and you don't quite know how to maneuver and focus and you don't want to crash? That was me, but with life. I was scared of fully going after the things that I wanted, not because I could fail … [Continue reading...]

What’s Your Superpower (And Yes, You Have One)?

For a long time, I used to feel self-conscious about how sensitive I am. I cry at the drop of a hat over good and bad news (I bawled when my husband told me his co-worker proposed to his girlfriend). When someone I know has a bad day, I will spend 30 minutes trying to figure out how I can make it better. Violent movies and TV shows make me physically sick and unable to sleep. (I still don't … [Continue reading...]

The Seven Rules Of Happiness According To My Seven-Year-Old Son

During one of our random "What do you want to be when you grow up?" conversations, I told my son Thomas that he would make an amazing teacher. And I fully believe it - he's energetic and always looking for the "funner" way to do something. Kids would love him. "I'd be a happy teacher!" he told me. "Oh yeah? That's great that you'll enjoy teaching," I told him. "Nooo," he corrected me. … [Continue reading...]

Make A Stop At The Walgreens Wellness Tour

Disclosure: I partnered with Walgreens to provide an overview of the 2015 Wellness Tour. All opinions are my own, as always. Earlier this year, I had a health scare that finally scared me enough that I went to see an urgent care doctor. He checked me out, gave me a prescription for a steroid and sent me on my way, but not before encouraging me to get myself a primary care physician. "Do they … [Continue reading...]
