Inspirational Accessories
My absolute favorite piece of jewelry right now is my tarot card and moon necklace. I built it after collecting charms from several gift shop visits and deciding to display them all together. The coolest thing of all is that when I picked out the single charms, I chose charms that I found meaningful by themselves. But the meaning behind each charm when combined the others is nothing short of awesome. The first tarot card charm I chose was The Moon, which symbolizes intuition in times of uncertainty. My second tarot card charm of choice was The Star, which symbolizes hope. The Lunar Eclipse charm was my third choice, and…

On Today’s Episode of “You’re (Probably) Too Old For That”…
I’m a huge fan of American Ninja Warrior and occasionally get the wild idea that I am somehow young and coordinated enough to even have a chance in hell at doing such things. I went to the playground today with my kids, saw one of those zipline obstacles that connected one end of the playground to the other and suddenly thought up a super dumb idea. After second and even third guessing myself, I carefully stepped to the edge of the platform, carefully grabbed the zipline bar (I didn’t even get the recommended running start) and carefully pushed off of the platform. Well, thanks to my Mom Bod momentum and…

A Little 90’s Nostalgia
I’ve officially reached that uncomfortable age where I’m starting to have “back in the day” moments. During my recent staycation, I watched the Trainwreck: Woodstock 99 docuseries and while the primary point of the series was to remind us all of what a raging dumpster fire Woodstock 99 was, I couldn’t help but remember all of the awesome music that came from that time period (I still listen to most of it). Apparently, the majority of the crowd came to see Korn, an excellent choice! And while their spot in the festival is now identified as when all of the trouble started, it looked like one hell of a show!…

Getting Back Into Health
Holistic approaches have also been a big part of my recent health journey. Superhuman protocol with red light therapy and lymph drainage really helped to balance my hormones shortly before my youngest daughter was conceived. I am slowly starting back up with these things when time allows and I am hoping to piece all of these parts together to work toward finding my long-term health plan. Health maintenance is a journey and not necessarily a destination and I’m hoping good habits will help me stick around on this earth for a while.

For The Grieving Hearts
I was working out a few days ago when this awesome song that I’ve never heard popped up on my playlist. Just listening to the lyrics made me super emotional, which really doesn’t tale much these days (having a baby will do that). After losing 3 family members to terminal illness, 3 friends to suicide and overdose and a tiny unborn human to life’s misfortune, all within a few short years, I think it’s safe to say that grief is something that’s on my heart. There’s that horrible saying that time heals all wounds. This is stupid and inaccurate. The grief doesn’t magically get better. I have just learned to…

New Normal
PSA- Living on 3 hours of sleep for days at a time from caring for an infant can lead to fatigue, depression, random crying, swearing, cold symptoms and may lead to an epic crash.

Momumental Life Changes
It’s been a minute since my last blog post but the time away was well worth it because it was spent growing the most beautiful tiny human. On May 20th, my husband and I welcomed a healthy baby girl named Harleigh Grace. She is my third and last baby and I am absolutely soaking up every baby snuggle and milestone to the fullest. I have always wanted to be a mom and I am thankful every day to have been blessed with three beautiful healthy girls, particularly because of my neurological condition of Moebius Syndrome. But the road here has had some interesting twists and turns. My first daughter Jadann…

New Year, Same Me
Happy 2024! I’m super thankful to have had a blessed Holiday Season but I’m equally thankful that the chaos and over stimulation is over! It’s officially that time of year to reflect on where you’ve been and where you’re trying to go but I’ll admit, I’m not really an all-in New Years Resolution person. I mean I already wrote some very broad and general goals on my phone’s OneNote, mostly continuations of things I either started last year, meant to start or am actually seriously thinking about getting off my butt and starting at some point. I also only look at said list from time-to-time but it’s fun to revisit…
