I’ve had this Anberlin tattoo floating around in my brain for yearsss. Finally talked through it with a friend, shared my ideas with @alexandratattoo , and she made them all come to ✨LIFE!✨ Had the best time enjoying several hours of girl talk, good music, and tattoo therapy with her - truly it is therapy and she is the best of the best!!!

I’m not sure I could ever put into words what Anberlin’s music has meant to me over the years. If you feel that way about music in any capacity - you get it. It’s definitely one of those ‘if you know, you know’ things. My Dad was a musician and he certainly passed that feeling down to me. Love that I carry that with me! 

And now I get to carry pieces of my favorite band with me. 🖤🎶
Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohe Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohen! He rolled his eyes at me when I said it’s crazy that he went from 6…to 7! If you know you know. 

Cohen is so sweet, kind, helpful, and smart. He loves building hot wheels tracks, setting up play areas for his little brothers, swimming, NASCAR, baseball, and never sitting still or being quiet… ever. 😆 

I’m so thankful God chose me to be his mom! I love you Cohen!! Happy birthday!!

I have the MOST FUN any time I’m in front of Michelle’s camera. She is so fun to hang out with and it ends up being the best girl time + hair and makeup! Y’all know I have 4 kids and I work from home.. I don’t get to feel fancy very often! If you like laughing until your cheeks hurt (your face cheeks) and feeling 🔥 - book a shoot with her! 10/10 highly recommend.

Thank goodness for spring. 🌸 2026 has been kin Thank goodness for spring. 🌸

2026 has been kind of a weird, wild ride so far, but full of good things. I started a new job! And that has taken up a lot of my time (in a good way), so I’ve been a little bit quiet around here.

I’m trying as hard as I can to prioritize myself more these days. Finally went to the doctor and did some blood work. Turns out, I’m severely anemic. I’m hoping I’ll start feeling better and little more awake after I start my iron. 😅 Maybe I can lay off the coffee a little bit. (J/k)

I can’t believe it’s almost April after we went through 3 years of January, but I’m not mad about it! Ready to relax outside on patios with family/friends and enjoy our kiddos running around. We made it. 🖤

And he said this to his social media loving picture taking wife who is finally feeling the sunlight on her face after months of seasonal depression. 🤪 Might just turn this into a Nate appreciation account. Stay tuned.😉

How To Take A Proactive Approach To Your Wellness

We often take feeling well and healthy for granted, but because health and wellness can decline gradually, it’s easy to miss the signs when things start to slip. For many people, it takes a sudden health scare or diagnosis to make them realize how much their well-being has been affected. The problem is, by the time it reaches that point, the underlying issues are usually well-developed. That’s why taking a proactive approach to your health is so important—you can often avoid getting to that stage altogether.

It is vital to keep a close eye on your children’s health. Looking into The Dwoskin Family Foundation and how they help children’s health will ensure you know where to go if you do need extra support should any ailment arise.

Focusing on improving your health before things go wrong can make a huge difference in how you feel. You can prevent a lot of issues from developing, and even ease symptoms of any existing conditions. It sounds great in theory, but how do you actually manage your health proactively in real life? Here are some ideas to help you start your wellness journey.

Pay Attention

The best way to start improving your health is by really tuning in to how your body and mind are feeling. When you take the time to check in with yourself throughout your day, you might notice things you’ve been ignoring—like those constant aches and pains or unhealthy habits you didn’t realize were a problem. It can be really helpful to jot down how you’re feeling as you go, making it easier to spot patterns and refer back to them later. This simple step can give you a lot of insight into what areas need the most attention.

Decide What You Want To Change

Taking charge of your health will always mean making some changes, and that can feel overwhelming or even a little scary. But it’s those very changes that will have the biggest impact on how you feel. Start by reflecting on what you’ve noticed when you really tuned into your wellness, and think about which areas are affecting you the most. This is a great way to set meaningful health goals. From there, you can prioritize them, so you know exactly where to begin. Consider changes that will affect more than your own body for a greater impact, such as switching to CleanChoice Energy to benefit you, your family, and the environment through cleaner energy choices. Take a look for some inspiration online too, like Kevin Morgan of Pittsford NY, as a great one for motivating you on workouts and incorporating fitness as a part of improving your wellbeing.

Make A Plan

By now, you probably have a good idea of which areas of your health and wellness need the most attention. You’ve also figured out which ones need to be addressed first to really make a difference in how you feel day-to-day. Now it’s time to turn that awareness into a solid plan. If you’ve noticed that your alcohol intake has gotten out of hand, it might be time to consider checking into rehab to get that under control. Or, if muscle pain and stiffness are slowing you down, booking a physical therapy session could be the right move. Whatever wellness issue you decide to focus on, taking action is key to making real improvements in your health and quality of life, whether it’s looking to wellness enthusiast Kevin Morgan of Pittsford NY for inspiration, or finally joining the gym.
