How was everybody’s weekend?  Mine was great, just super snowy!  It was gorgeous looking out at the snow falling, but that meant my husband had a far less relaxing weekend than I, shoveling and re-shoveling a whole lotta snow! In other news, you can now follow Self Care Bestie on Facebook!  As I’m sharing a […]

  Before we officially get to the weekend, I wanted to touch base about our thought life.  How’s it going, Besties?  I’m asking because there is a common misconception that people who struggle with intrusive thoughts have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  The reality is, while OCD is a serious problem for a lot of people, everyone […]

Hey Besties!  I hope you’re staying safe and warm wherever you are…we had a major blizzard in my neck of the woods today and are just getting shoveled out! I’m so excited to share a guest post today at one of my very Bestie’s sites, Jennie Lennon Photography.  Jennie and I became friends in high […]

And just like that, it’s the weekend again! Can I get an Amen?! It’s gonna be a 50/50 split between relaxing with family and catching up on housework for me.  Hopefully you’ve got something planned that will make you feel peaceful and bring you joy! Today I’m addressing a topic that is one of the […]
