At the beginning of the year I set a word for myself rather than a goal. A word I wanted to focus on in all areas of my life: intention. I will admit I haven't always been doing a great job focusing on intention or intentional living, but I feel like I have made a … Continue reading Intentional Living: Changing How I Use Social Media
Hello friends and happy Friday! It has been so long since I have posted a 'Living Lately', but I have finally been writing more and making time for the blog, which I truly love doing so I am finally back with a little roundup post.

After the year we all just had I don't expect anyone to approach this year in full force with a long list of goals or resolutions. My biggest goal for this year is to give myself grace, especially when things don't always go as planned. Regardless of your approach to this year and whether or … Continue reading Books for the New Year
One of my biggest challenges since becoming a mother has been balancing everything, especially time for myself. Even a year and a half later I still struggle to find balance sometimes. But I've learned that taking time for ME is important to help me find the energy, patience and motivation to balance everything else. Today … Continue reading Making Time For Yourself as a Mom
The past six months have been anything but easy or ordinary. No, this wasn’t the summer I had in mind for us, or even year for that matter.

I haven't been great about consistently publishing blog posts but instead of tying myself to a schedule I would rather … Continue reading Living Lately No. 51
Last week my baby turned one. ONE YEAR OLD.... How did this happen? This has truly been the fastest year of my life. I know it is cliche but it feels like just a few weeks ago they placed my tiny, beautiful boy on my chest to meet for the first time. I remember it … Continue reading A Year of Motherhood
Happy Friday! this week has been crazy. I actually had this post planned for last Friday but never got around to posting. Anyway, I can't believe it is already November! I am so excited for the approaching holiday season. Even though Jack is too little to really understand what is going on I am so … Continue reading Living Lately No. 50
Lately I had been feeling really flustered and claustrophobic. A big part of this was because of how cluttered the space around me was. Cluttered space = cluttered mind. I knew it was time for a major purge of the space around me. This could obviously be an overwhelming task if I chose to do … Continue reading Fall Purge: Fixing a Cluttered Space & Cluttered Mind
