It’s January and I’m in full home refresh mode. Christmas is stored away, surfaces are clear again, and my home already feels lighter.⁠
⁠
You don’t need to run to Target for “aesthetic” bins or buy new décor. You just need fresh eyes. Shop your home. Edit surfaces. Move the furniture. Bring in nature. Simplify visual clutter.⁠
⁠
The secret to loving your space isn’t buying more…it’s appreciating what you already have.⁠
⁠
Tell me - what room are you refreshing first?⁠

If school has become the biggest source of stress

If school has become the biggest source of stress in your house… you’re not alone. Most of us are just trying to raise capable, confident teens without constant nagging, power struggles, or tears.⁠
⁠
Here’s some good news - a calmer home and a more responsible teen isn’t about being harder on them… it’s about giving them systems, ownership, and trust. It's been a tough road for me, but I have new clarity and a better outlook on my daughter's and my relationship.⁠
⁠
These 5 steps changed everything for us.⁠
Save this for later + send it to a mom friend who needs it too.⁠
⁠
Comment "Teen" and I'll send it right to you. OR - Get the Teen Weekly Reset template in my bio — it works wonders for structure + independence⁠

What I’m taking with me into 2026…⁠ ⁠ Not pressure

What I’m taking with me into 2026…⁠
⁠
Not pressure.⁠
Not expectations.⁠
Not other people’s timelines.⁠
⁠
I’m shifting my language and my life from “I have to” to “I get to.”⁠
⁠
I get to rest when my body asks for it⁠
I get to nourish my soul⁠
I get to move my body⁠
I get to enjoy the day trip⁠
I get to celebrate me⁠
⁠
I’m done waiting for happiness to arrive through someone else.⁠
I’ll plan my own joy. My own peace. My own moments.⁠
⁠
I’m choosing to stay unruffled.⁠
To protect my peace.⁠
To live with purpose, not pressure.⁠
⁠
And instead of chasing what’s missing,⁠
I’m learning to slow down and love the life I already have.⁠
⁠
Here’s to a beautiful, intentional 2026 🤍⁠

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: It is the time for home.” ⁠

At midnight on New Years Eve, I’m not just toastin

At midnight on New Years Eve, I’m not just toasting to a new year.⁠
I’m toasting to myself.⁠
⁠
This year pushed me harder than I ever expected. Raising a strong-willed teenage daughter tested my patience, my confidence, and my heart. There were moments I doubted myself. Moments I felt exhausted… and broken.⁠
⁠
But I kept going. I kept showing up. Because loving her means boundaries. It means hard conversations. It means choosing growth over comfort.⁠
⁠
So, I am raising my glass to the strength I didn’t know I had, to the lessons I earned the hard way, and to the woman I’ve become through it all.⁠
⁠
Here’s to resilience. Here’s to brighter days ahead — for both mother and daughter.⁠

1. Reflect: Create a list of everything you want

1. Reflect: Create a list of everything you want to change in 2026. No filters...what do you want to start? What do you want to stop?⁠
⁠
2. Put your thoughts and ideas into categories: Group your list into categories like Health, self-care, finances, work, home, family, social life, etc.⁠
⁠
3. Define your goals: Make your items specific, relevant, and achievable. Put time deadlines down with your goals.⁠
⁠
4. Create an action plan: Break your goals into smaller, tasks and daily habits.⁠
⁠
5. Prioritize & track yourself: Start small, create a timeline and track your progress.⁠
⁠
6. Adjust where you need: Give yourself grace and be flexible. Keep you list close by to follow your progress, adjust your goals based on what is working well for you.⁠
⁠
Want examples of how I am creating my Change List for 2026? Post a comment below on how you are changing for 2026. Ask a question. Share your thoughts.⁠
⁠
Let's make 2026 the best year!⁠

Dear December Me,⁠
Remember that slowing down isn’t giving up — it’s resetting.⁠
⁠
👉 Try this: Write your own note to your future self. What do you need to hear when the month gets hectic?⁠
⁠
By doing this you turn reflection into a self-care exercise.⁠

During the busy holiday season, it’s easy to forge

During the busy holiday season, it’s easy to forget the importance of taking a pause for ourselves. I took just 5 minutes to meditate today, and here's what I learned:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Clarity in the Chaos: Amid all the holiday hustle, taking a moment to focus helped clear my mind and regain perspective. It’s a reminder that we can find stillness, even in the busiest moments.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Breathing Through the Stress: It's so easy to get overwhelmed with to-do lists, but simply focusing on my breath helped me feel grounded again. Inhale peace, exhale stress.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Self-care is a Priority: The holidays are about giving, but we can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking a few minutes for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s necessary for your well-being.⁠
⁠
As we navigate this season, remember that taking even a small break to recharge can make all the difference. You deserve it!⁠
