2021 Intentions
I couldn’t be more thankful for these guys! When we went back to school in the fall, I started setting weekly intentions for myself. This felt like a good way to be gentle with myself & not to feel too much pressure while teaching. It felt comforting & productive while not overwhelming. I really recommend [...]
My Current Favorite Ways to Unwind During Stressful Times
Theo & Phoebe hope you have a beautiful, restful holiday season! Even in 2020, the holiday season can definitely add some stress. Making COVID-safe plans, online shopping for the perfect gift, work stress. It’s a lot! I’ve been feeling especially stressed due to grad school assignments. It’s important to find ways to unwind & relax. [...]
Making The Most Of The Holidays This Year
I’ll most likely be living in comfy clothes this holiday season! Sweatshirts, baking cookies, pet snuggles. So cozy! The holiday season is different this year. There’s no getting around it; maybe you’re doing a socially distant Thanksgiving, or you’re celebrating Christmas just with your household. Maybe you’re used to cooking for an army of people, [...]

Negative Comments & How I’m Dealing with Them
If someone chooses to make a negative comment regarding your appearance, that is a direct reflection of THEM. It has nothing to do with you! I got my first mean comment on an Instagram post the other day. It was a man who runs a business, who commented on my weight. It stung, for a [...]
Things I’m Thankful For
This week was hard. On top of going back to school & navigating the craziness that is COVID times, it was also the anniversary of my friend Bekah’s death. I felt my mental health suffering throughout the week; I try to be mindful of when I’m struggling but a sure sign that I am is [...]
Something I’ve Learned During COVID Times
Hi there! Like so many others, I’ve experienced a wide range of emotions over the last several months. In May, we had to put our dog Luke to sleep really suddenly; it was heartbreaking & left us feeling completely devastated. Even thinking about him now brings me to tears; he was the best, sweetest dog [...]
