Just Friends 

Random entry time! Two stories and then a question.  Friend A: We met in college, and we had a lot of similar interests and goals. We had the same odd humor and were able to confide in one other very easily. I was there for them for each of their relationships. They were there for … Continue reading Just Friends

Travel Diaries: Amsterdam

My initial top 5 list included Italy as my number 2 travel spot.  Don't get me wrong.  Italy is BEAUTIFUL.  The land, the history, the landmarks, the food. It's amazing over there, and I would go over and over again.  However, I thought I might have to bump it for Amsterdam! I never really had … Continue reading Travel Diaries: Amsterdam

Kindness Challenge Week 4: Kindness Role Models

This week's challenge involved focusing on kindness role models. In the most difficult moments of our lives, the kindness from others is of utmost importance.  While there are so many kind people in my life, I really wanted to focus on one person. I met "Elle" while we were both in the thick of Postpartum … Continue reading Kindness Challenge Week 4: Kindness Role Models

5 Mommy Brain Moments

You've heard of "Pregnancy Brain" - that foggy, forgetful time that pregnant women experience. The simplest things seem to slip the mind, and you can't remember like you used to. Unfortunately, that forgetfulness doesn't completely go away. I'm finding that this is happening less as I grow accustomed to my new life and role. Nonetheless, … Continue reading 5 Mommy Brain Moments

Efficient Listing on Poshmark

Let's face it. You could spend hours on Poshmark. That's why so many use the 30 minute method. However, you need to plan even before engaging 30mm. Listing your items in itself can take a while. Taking photos, writing descriptions and listing on the app can take at least a few hours. Here's a few things … Continue reading Efficient Listing on Poshmark

Kindness Challenge Week 3: Self-Acceptance

Truly, I am my own worst enemy. I do not accept compliments. I do not acknowledge my own achievements. I am self-depreciating. I am hardest on myself when I do not meet my own high standards.  For this week's challenge, I had to give myself a reprieve. It's time to stop being so negative about myself and start … Continue reading Kindness Challenge Week 3: Self-Acceptance

Part-time Mommy

I'm fast approaching my third month back at work.  The first two weeks were a breeze, and the latter weeks were a series of transition and struggle, learning and coping. I'm doing better as time goes by, but it doesn't feel the same. I think the positive aspect of it is that I'm adapting to … Continue reading Part-time Mommy

Travel Diaries: Baby’s First Trip!

Four months ago, I would have been scared to go on a plane with my son.  I was convinced he'd be the crying baby and I wouldn't know what to do.  I was afraid I'd forget something he needed. I would have anxiety just thinking of it. After all, I was afraid to go to … Continue reading Travel Diaries: Baby’s First Trip!

Kindness Challenge Week 2: Self-Compassion

The second week of the Kindness Challenge focuses on self-compassion. Again, this is another area where I am challenged. It is so easy for to feel compassion towards others, and attempt to get them to see the better side of things.  However, I do not show myself the same consideration. I love giving gifts to … Continue reading Kindness Challenge Week 2: Self-Compassion
