Breaking away from the day to day
I love my car. It’s not just a vehicle, it’s my little haven. I can open my sunroof, blast my music and be free. And then I realize I’m a mom. Do you know what that means? It means french fries in between the seats, random toys shoved in every crevice, and baseball gear overtaking…
I am a huge lover of books. When I was in middle school, my BFF and I would walk from school to the public library. We would quickly finish our homework and then sit down between the shelves of books and find our newest treasure. There’s something about the smell of the paper and bindings…
It’s no secret that I am one exhausted mom…especially now that it’s the end of the school year. I have been back and forth to my kids’ school a million times these past 3 weeks. I’ve set up for teacher appreciation week, graduation, class parties. I’ve made sure the kiddos have the money they…
Mother’s Day…the day in which we celebrate all mothers for their undying love and devotion for their kids…for all that they do to make families run smoother…ahhh, the whole Hallmark rosiness of it all!

There it is. I said it. I’m exhausted. I’m sure there are SO MANY more of you out there who are doing far more than I am and are still able to keep it together, and usually so can I. But lately, I feel like I’m spiraling down a huge tunnel that is not leading…
There is nothing more relaxing than a day at the spa! Putting your feet up while you wear a warm robe and slippers, letting people give you massages and foot rubs. Maybe even a facial or manicure and pedicure. If you’re really lucky, you get it all! Spa days should be mandatory in life. There…
Taking a family cruise has got to be one of our favorite trips to take. You can unpack one time, visit different places, eat, drink and sleep any time you want. What more could you want? I know that I want some time for myself while I’m on a cruise with my family. It’s all…
Traveling is important to my mental well-being. Getting away, no matter how short, is a way for me to unwind and relax. It’s also a way for my family to reconnect with one another. There is only one downside to traveling: the price. And I’m not just talking about flying! Even if we just travel…
