Faith & Fortune Cookies

I'm just a few days away from a trip out west and I am so optimistic about what's to come!  I'm staying positive and I have faith that I will succeed in the goals I hope to achieve while in Santa Fe.

Optimism, positivity and confidence- all great things.  But it never hurts to come across this on-point fortune cookie prophecy!!  


Please send good vibes my way!!

Hope The Luck Continues!!


Just a little morning thought....

I'm a firm believer in the power of positivity!!  And luck!  But I am also a realist that knows true success comes to those who are positive, lucky and PREPARED!!

I'm excited about future opportunities and hope that my dedication to my craft pays off!!  And I hope that all of you looking to reach the goals you've set for yourself find the motivation to prepare and the luck and positivity that will help you succeed!!

Love This

I'm part of a group called Miracle Minded Moms- it's a destination where we share inspiration and vulnerability.  I saw this quote and as someone who prides herself on being buttoned up and on point, sometimes I have to remember this.  Sometimes it's safer to just let things go, to not try and defend or control.  To move on.  In a life that lacks much control (hello parents of the universe), it's hard to give up the limited control I do have.  But perhaps I am safer to just surrender, to admit my defenselessness.  Control is just an illusion that usually leaves me frustrated- learning to surrender has greatly increased my happiness.

I have my "me time"- limited as it may be (and likely including a facial or massage)- and it's important for me to have control over something- my skincare regimen or exercise routine.

But overall, I must remind myself that it's in the times of complete surrender and when I am at my most vulnerable that I am at my safest.

How do you interpret this?  Does it resonate with you?

Functional Kitchen Organizing Idea

While in the throes of pregnancy nesting I had a major kitchen decluttering!  I left only my cute, glass hand soap dispenser on the counter next to the sink.

It looked great!  But...

It was such a pain to pull out the dish soap every time I had to rinse something.  And as any mom will tell you, with my hands constantly washing dishes or washing germs, they are always dry!  I'd always leave the sink to go to the powder room to grab some lotion.

I realize bending down to get the dish soap and rounding a corner to get hand lotion aren't the worst problems to have but inconvenience and inefficiency are my pet peeves.

So my cute (if I do say so myself) solution...


Four things here:
1. Glass pump dispensers (IKEA)
2. Sticky decorative chalk board labels (Walmart)
3. Silver permanent marker
4. Decorative Bath Tray (Bed Bath & Beyond)

As my four year old would say, "Easy peasy, lemon squeezey!"

Fear Will NOT Get in the Way

Some days I need to channel this saying and weave it into my daily affirmations (note to self: start daily affirmations).  More on this later, folks ;)
