This past weekend I found myself eating breakfast solo at the kitchen counter. As I sat eating, I got to watch the beautiful winter scene before me in our backyard. The falling snow, the landscape covered with a few fresh inches, and our bird feeder bustling with life. From sparrows, to blue jays, to cardinals […]
This past Sunday was 40 weeks. 40 weeks of growing and protecting life inside. Dreaming and thinking of this little one’s personality and how it will add to our family. And weeks and months of watching this baby bump grow and feel this little one stir. Many know I’m three for three spot on my

A few weeks ago I was having my weekly session with one of my newer clients. We got on our call that day and she was so excited, she was listing off win after win that she had had that week, and sharing the tasks she had accomplished. She was getting things done that had

You woke up earlier than you normally do today. Just before my alarm was going to go off. Mornings are my time where I sneak out of bed, past your bassinet, and out into our quiet house. The laundry gets folded without your siblings destroying my piles, the dishwasher emptied without immediately being refilled, and
