I want to take a minute and talk about us as moms feeling like failures. We all have been there and have thought that, but now more than ever, we are all questioning how we are raising our kids, while working from home, home schooling, and keeping up with the house and just everyday life things. The thing is, right now we are just surviving, and that is OK. There is no need to feel like you need to do any more than that. That is enough. I have said before, that while I lay with my girls to go...

Where you work must inspire you. You must work only in one designated area. You must have the proper lighting and seating and everything else, otherwise you cannot work there.     Or does it? I have many places that I work all around my house. Some more inspiring than others. The only thing they all have in common, is being comfortable.

Oh no!! We have all been there before. This year may just look a little bit different. You hear a knock at your door. You are not expecting anyone, and the panic starts.

Sometimes getting out to preplanned activities were what we needed for any type of resemblance of normalcy.   Here’s what we did over the weekend.     Go skating. I am not talking...

I pride myself in my work and consistency. So I owe you all an apology for not showing up the last week, especially for #momsinbusinessmonday   I do not want to be too repetitive and talk about the same moms each week, and I am still searching for more and new moms to feature. Because there was a lull, I quickly fell off track, and it was easy for me to fall into a slump last week. Running a successful business during these times it not easy. Running two businesses during these times with kids, is even harder.  The last...
