Foster parenting is a unique and rewarding journey that comes with its own set of challenges and triumphs. It’s a path filled with love, growth, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children and their families. While every foster parent’s experience is different, one thing remains constant – the […]

  I have to be honest…in my humble opinion, self care gifts are the best gifts of all.  There, I said it.  And since every major retailer and website, blogger, etc. known to man is sharing their gift guides with you this week (if they haven’t already!), I will too. Truth be told, it’s a […]

But how?  I’m not really at a place (yet) where I can organize everything a weekend retreat […]

Who wants to join my FREE 5 day self-care challenge?!   You, me, errrrybody! (cue the thunderous applause). Yes, my Besties, it’s about to get REAL.  Because I don’t want this to be a place where we merely think about self-care.  I don’t want this to be a place where we merely talk about self-care.  Ohhh […]
