Happy almost New Year, Besties!  I’m so excited to have finally started this site and I’m beyond thrilled to see where it will go in 2017.  My dream for Self Care Bestie is that people would be encouraged to love themselves well so they can in turn love others well.  I truly believe self care […]

Hello, Besties!  2016 is winding down and 2017 is just around the corner.  Many of you may be thinking about New Year’s resolutions, or simply reflecting on the past year.  For me, 2016 was the year I really committed to exercising more regularly and I am so thankful I did!  As I told you here, I […]

I hope you all had a lovely weekend celebrating with loved ones!  Our family had a wonderful Christmas and are now looking forward to visiting family out of state.  It’s going to be a busy but super fun week! So I have a Bestie confession for you:  I can be incredibly awkward. Not all the […]

Merry Christmas (a few days early)!  I’ll be taking the rest of the weekend off to celebrate with family so I wish you all a lovely holiday full of comfort, joy, and peace!  May you make beautiful memories with those you hold most dear. Before I sign off for the long weekend, I wanted to […]

Hello there, Besties!  I’ve got a busy day ahead – my to-do list from yesterday went untouched as my youngest son got sick and needed mama all day.  Thankfully, he’s feeling much better and I’ve got those 3.5 glorious preschool hours to kick my list’s BUM (can you tell I’m a mom?). If any of […]

My sister just told me this morning that a stranger paid for she and her husband’s lunch the other day and left […]

I can’t believe Christmas is less than a week away!  It’s exciting but I must be honest…there are a few last minute things I need to do to be 100% ready.  Anyone else still have a wee bit of shopping left to do? With the holiday season in full swing, I have seen countless articles […]

How’s your weekend going, Besties?  Looking out my window, it’s a gorgeous scene as everything has been freshly blanketed in snow.  I hope you are all staying cozy and warm, wherever you may be.   I wonder how many of us are struggling with patience this time of year?  Schedules and to-do lists are full, […]

It’s FriYAY, Besties!  Today I want to share why I love Snapchat for staying connected to friends and family who live far away.  I already told you why connection is important (especially during this busy time of year).  And we also discussed that ideally, we would connect in person/over FaceTime/on the phone. But sometimes our days […]
