Seeing the Light at the End of the Tunnel: What has helped with my anxiety
I am a highly sensitive person who has always had anxiety, but learning that anxiety is a part of who I am but isn’t a part of me that will take me down is very empowering.
The Story of my Break-Through
Our overall health is so connected to the way our minds work, so why do we use this derogatory labeling of “mental” health when really, it’s about our overall wellbeing. There is still so much stigma attached to “mental health” awareness and after going through this I truly understand that having panic attacks or anxiety should not be looked at any differently than having asthma or diabetes. They are all health conditions that impact our bodies and require intervention and often medications to heal.
Family Fun in 30A
Spring break this year brought us to Florida. But not the Florida that most of us Northeasterners have heard about. A part of Florida that …

Our Happy Place: Guide to Montauk
My husband and I have been going to Montauk alone every summer for a few years. It has become “our place”. We just love the laid-back beach vibes, the amazing food, and of course the fact that you are surrounded by the ocean. Every year when we go, we see many families enjoying the town and we say to ourselves, “maybe we should bring the kids?” Then we snap back into reality and realize what a gift it is to have this alone time together. This summer, we found ourselves in the Hamptons visiting friends and decided to take a trip to Montauk with our boys and they fell in love with it as quickly as we did.
Nashville Couples Trip Guide
Here are my suggestions for fun things to do while in Nashville, either with your significant other, with friends, or with couples. I did not experience the black-out bachelorette party drunkenness of Nashville that many people do, nor would I suggest bringing kids there, but here is what we loved while we visited Nash-Vegas.
Playing the Comparison Game
We’ve all done it…spent hours scrolling social media, hate following, and getting worked up about how skinny another blogger is or how big their new home build is going to be. I admit I do it all the time. It’s so unhealthy, yet so addicting. Why do we as women subject ourselves to this kind of criticism of our own lives?
Feeling That Forty-Something Fatigue
I am almost 2 years into my 40s and as they say, with age comes wisdom, but what also comes with age, besides the wrinkles and grey hair, is a feeling of fatigue. I’m not just talking about the overall exhaustion of being a working, busy parent to two very active kids. I’m talking about the burnout, the feeling of where is my life going and what have I accomplished?
Getting Away From It All: Our night away in Mystic, CT
It’s been almost one year since the world went into lockdown and the Coronavirus changed our lives forever. In the midst of this life-altering global …
Parenting a Tween: the good, the bad, the ugly
The truth is, it never gets easier, only harder in different ways. This is not meant to scare the mamas of young kids, rather to let you breath a sigh of relief that whatever stage you are in right now, know it is just that- a stage, and this too shall pass. But look out for the tween stage! I was not prepared for this one…
Taking Time for Me

What the “F” to do with the kids this winter

Winter Coat Edit For Moms and Kids
Now that the weather has finally changed and the temps are getting colder, it’s time to break out the winter coats….To me, spending on an investment piece, like a good quality coat, is essential if you live in a place where winter ravages for months.
Holiday Gift Guides 2020
I love the Holiday season- the songs, the decorations, the window shopping and the family time….This year is probably going to look a little different, but I wanted to still bring some holiday cheer by putting together some gift guides.
What’s In a Name?
The name Jake Taylor is so much more than just a name. His name symbolizes so much about my mom that I loved. His sweet personality, his amazing dimple, and his caring, sweet nature are what my mom gave me as her last gift.
What it’s like to have Thyroid Cancer
When someone tells you you may have cancer, time literally stands still. My mom had passed away from lung cancer only two years before this and I had a four-year-old and one year old at home.

I’ve Been #Influenced
I admit it, I am an influencers dream! I scroll through Instagram, Facebook and LiketoKnow.it and get caught up in the #ads and #sponsored posts and my rational brain goes out the window.
90’s Trends That Are Back And I Am Here For
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I have seen my fair share of the trends that have come and gone. Yes, I rocked a side pony and bangs and crimped my hair. I also donned overalls and Doc Martens with a black, velvet chocker.
