If nothing else, Covid-19 has made me somewhat of a renaissance woman. I’ve learned so many new things to include but not limited to: baking my own bread, a variety of recipes, DIY manicures and more! I think that is the one benefit from all of this home time - tackling projects you put off and learning new hobbies!
Read MoreRaise your hand if you remember growing up with black and white Courtly Check Tea Pot in your home? I sure do! It was the focal point of our kitchen and one that holds so many fond memories.
Read MoreSafe to say we’ve reached that point in quarantine where all the days are starting to look the same and feel like they’re slowly creeping by. What day is it anyway? We all know March was the longest year ever and as many of us have realized, staying home day in and out is no easy feat. In my household, we’re trying to develop as much of a routine as possible to keep life feeling as “normal” as possible. I’ve found that staying cozy and attempting to make quarantine comfortable is the key to keeping positive. That and making your bed! Below I’m sharing some of my favorite items with you during these challenging times.
Read MoreWe are in the middle of week four at home. So much to say. How are you all feeling? If I am being honest, this week feels the hardest for me but it’s not over quite yet. Home schooling has gotten a bit more structured but I wouldn’t say it has been smooth sailing. I hate to be Debbie Downer on here but truthfully, it’s extraordinarily difficult for two working parents. My 3rd grader is pretty independent but my 2nd grader…not so much! Looks like we are back to the crafting board…and wine. #sorrynotsorry
Read MoreStaying healthy is a top priority for me…especially in the wake of this nasty virus. From working out to making sure my nutrition and diet is up to par, I strongly believe in the power of vitamins and health supplements both of which really came into play when I hit my late 30’s and I started to encounter digestive issues, iron deficiencies and so much more! Not fun.
Read More“Influencing” our communities has never been so weird. We are tasked with inspiring, uplifting and informing on a daily basis but that is now awkward and uncomfortable. Thank you Covid-19. Some of us want to temper the changes with humor which, is welcome while others are struggling to find the right words. I am somewhere in-between on this spectrum.
Read MoreFriends, we have truly entered strange times. It’s all we talk about at home and things seem to be changing by the hour. We are now faced with home schooling, potential national lock down and maintaining our normal work loads as working parents. We all have questions but with a little creativity and a new home structure plan…we will get through this!
Read MoreMaking healthy food shouldn’t be difficult. Sometimes our healthy eating habits are impacted by the prep time it takes to make our meals. Whenever I find something that’s super quick and easy, I love to share!. Recently, I have been enjoying this chopped mediterranean salad from Tasty. It’s fresh, fast, flavorful, and also helps fuel your body for the day. Nothing feels better than knowing you’re putting good into your body, and this is the easiest way to make sure your veggie intake is up to par. Bonus: The kiddos love it too.
Read MoreSometimes it feels like you need superpowers to pack your kids and yourself up for a trip. We all know that basics are essential but still never know quite what to bring. It’s the disease of overpacking that plagues us all.
