 So we are in week two of social distancing. Some cities are on lock down, have curfews, and most restaurants are on a drive through only. For anyone who is used to getting  out and giving back to others, it is hard to be secluded, even when you are with your family....

Okay so this past week has been a hardcore dose of reality for a lot of us. It's terrifying to see the mass changes that have occurred over the past two weeks due to the COVID-19. I have changed into a full time working Payroll Director AND homeschooling mom of a Pre-K...

So, the age old question....what are your resolutions for the new year? Odds are most people select one or some of the following:

1.) Lose weight/exercise

2.) Get more rest

3.) Reduce their alcohol consumption/quit smoking

4.) Spend more time with family

5.) Stop over-commi...

 Today's blog is rather sappy. It's National Adoption Month and we are less than 48 hours away from my baby boy's 6th birthday! Every year at this time I cannot help but remember the memories and fears that were going through my mind during this time. We were impatient...

It's July! Not only is it my birthday month but it's also Plastic Free July! Have you ever thought about how many disposable plastics you use every single day, week, and month?! What if you replaced a one single use plastic every day with something reusable? 

It's Plast...

"I'm so  tired" or "I've had a long day" and how about, "I'll do it tomorrow". Yep, there are so many excuses to why you should not exercise but how about all the reasons you should? What if you said, "You know, I'm right in line for diabetes so I think I'll go walk to...
