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. 🖤

Stay tuned.😉

It’s Time To Start Loving Yourself Again

Photo taken by Sarah of Space, Place & Southern Grace

Hey there, fellow moms juggling a bustling household and a career from home! Let’s talk about something important: loving yourself again. It’s time to reclaim that self-love we all deserve. Sure, life’s hectic, but we shouldn’t have hit pause on loving ourselves in the first place. So, let’s kickstart this journey back to self-love. But remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint!

In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that I think will help when it comes to loving yourself again. If you would like to find out more about this topic, then keep reading down below.

Put A Little Effort Into Yourself

So, where do we begin? Well, let’s start by putting in little more effort and showing ourselves a little extra TLC. Yes, that means diving into a consistent skincare routine. Trust me, soft, nourished skin does wonders for the soul. But it’s not just about appearances; it’s about how we feel. So, rise and shine, take a refreshing shower, get dressed, fix that hair (even if it’s just a messy bun!), and remind yourself: you’re worth it.

Addressing What Bothers You

Now, about those bits we’re not too fond of—like maybe that nose that’s been bothering you? It’s okay to want change, as long as it’s your genuine desire. Remember, this journey is about you, not others. So, if altering something will truly make you happier, then go for it. You can find more expert insights here on the whole topic. Research, consult, and take your time.

Progress may be slow, but it’s progress nonetheless.

Take Care Of Your Mind

And let’s not forget about our minds. Self-love isn’t just about pampering the body; it’s nurturing the mind too. Get enough sleep (hard to do as a mom – I know!), don’t bottle up your emotions, and allow yourself to feel—all of it. It might feel unfamiliar at first, but trust me, it’s worth it.

So, here’s to starting anew on our journey of self-love. It won’t be easy, and it won’t happen overnight. But with every effort we put in, we’re one step closer to rediscovering that beautiful self-love we all deserve. And believe me, it’s absolutely worth it.

For some, therapy can be the best solution to help moms let their feelings out, and if you need time to do that, finding some help from a site like care.com can be extremely useful, allowing you to have the time you need to really get the most out of your therapy.

Embrace Your Inner Whimsy

Imagine for a moment that within you lies an abundance of wonder that’s waiting to come out. Unleashing this inner spark requires more than wearing fancy hats or sparkly shoes, it means inviting joy and surprise into your daily life through your spirit dancing freely and welcoming surprises as part of everyday life. Rediscover that childlike wonder that once made even simple tasks feel thrilling, such as chasing butterflies or catching snowflakes on your tongue.

Allow yourself to indulge in spontaneous adventures, whether that means going on an impromptu day trip, trying out a new hobby, or simply daydreaming in the afternoon sun. Let the little joys fill your days with pleasure, turning mundane moments into treasured memories. Get yourself balloons for no apparent reason or sing along to Disney songs without fear of who may be listening.

Life is too short not to embrace our quirky sides! Add some whimsical joy into your routine and observe how it changes your perspective and strengthens the journey toward self-love. You might just find the result is life-altering.
