I had to interrupt our regularly scheduled self-care posts to create a self-care post full of something very important: Modern Family Gifs. Modern Family has got to be one of the best shows ever.  It truly came along at just the right season of life for me, as I was a young mom, trying […]

  Since my posts of late have been very much centered on anxiety, and how to cope with different kinds of anxiety, etc., I thought I would veer away a bit this week and simply share a few of the things that I’ve been loving lately.  I really enjoy following along with other bloggers and […]

Ohhh, summer!  How I love to celebrate summer!  With the unofficial start of summer being Memorial Day, 4th of July being right in the middle summer month, and the unofficial wrap up being Labor Day, it feels like there’s always a reason to party during the warmest months of the year.   Last year, I wrote […]
