Is Pursuing the Life you Dream of Irresponsible?

Hello!

I wrote this post up a couple weeks ago, but never got to editing and publishing it. Mom life kind of happened, as it always does, and then Hurricane Irma was looming in the distance. We had a few days of preparation, worry, and sugar binging from stress. Luckily, Northwest Florida escaped Irma's wrath with just tropical storm conditions, and a strong northern wind. While we were super fortunate, parts of Florida were not. I am researching how I can best contribute to helping those who were hit hard by Irma (and Harvey!), and will soon share more details. Thank you for all the love and prayers. We are so grateful to have all of you.

And now for the post I've been meaning to post...

Why Minimalism?

Why not minimalism? Just kidding.

As my personal and professional life have drifted towards minimalism I often get weird perplexing looks from people, as well as the frequent, "why on earth would you want to live that way?" questions about my lifestyle choices.

Let me take you back. Years ago, I had a lot of stuff. If you don't believe me, you can ask my husband.

Truths, Stress, and Being Real AF

Happy Saturday everyone!

What are you up to this weekend? We went out for pizza and pineapple cider (so good!) at Whole Foods last night. We tend to go there a lot because little Bodie is a really picky eater, and I know there are some things he will eat there. Nothing worse than going out to dinner with a toddler who refuses to eat and is bored. I won't even go there!

Anyhoo.... This is a follow up to the last blog post that I wrote about stressful times. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and read along

Struggles, Sacrifices, and the Stuff that is Hard to Share

Hi!

I'm going to jump right to the point today instead of my usual long winded intro.

Lately I've been feeling a ton of stress. I've been under financial pressure recently, my least favorite kind of stress. You see, my husband and I both work for ourselves, and that means that we have no sense of security. I can't count on a steady paycheck ever. I chose this life, yes...

Rare Flamingos in NW Florida

Hello!

I am SO beyond excited to share my photos and recent experience. Flamingos are here in NW Florida!!! Let me rewind...

Last week we had tropical storm Cindy come through the area. It rained for days. I was scrolling on Facebook, and happened to come across this story. How cool that a pair of flamingos were so close to where I live!? If only they had come a little further east and they'd be in my neighborhood. No one seems to know where they came from...

Bad Moms + Perfectionism

Last night I put Bodie to sleep, and watched Bad Moms. Finally.

Have you seen it? It was definitely funny. Kathryn Hahn always makes me laugh. There's just something about her.

Anyhoo, I really enjoyed the premise of the movie... that being a mom these days is impossible...

Everyday Non-Toxic Skincare

Hi!

How was everyone's weekend? The rain held off here, and I got in some really special QT with Ed and Bodie. On Sunday we went for a bike ride, and then out to dinner. We ended the evening with a walk and some gigantic ice cream cones. I had the cappuccino chip (my favorite) in a chocolate dipped waffle cone because I believe in balance... ;)

I'll remind you all that I decided to overhaul my blog a month or so ago in an effort to connect more and cover more aspects of my on purpose lifestyle. This includes conscious beauty, holistic wellness, and movement. I am a huge advocate for organic, natural, and non-toxic living. It is essential for our health and the environment...
