A Simply Beautiful Life
Hello! The first day of my blog is finally here. AND YOU’RE READING IT!! I could not be more excited. So much work and ancipation has led up to today!
I’ll be honest, I am taking this new world one day at a time. Of course, there is a little reservation and feeling unqualified but I am pushing through all of that and emerging as a confident, successful, new blogger.
My main goal of this blog is simply to help you make your life a beautiful and fun place that you absolutely love. I have spent too much of the last five years letting life happen and being disappointed in the results. The remedy for that, create the life you want!
As a chronic people pleaser, I often feel like I do not have the freedom to do that. Any other enneagram 9s relate? But I am here to tell you that you can and I hope that you stick around for awhile and join me on this journey.
What you can expect:
I have broken things down to two main categories.
Creating a beautiful life + Enjoying the every day
Creating a beautiful life covers areas that require work, goals, and daily habits that will lead you to the life that you envision. Enjoying the every day are areas that are here whether you like them or not and are often staring you right in the face. You have two ways of approaching them… They’re work, they are exhausting and mundane. OOOOORRRR they can be incredibly awesome. You choose.
Creating a Life you love
Be willing to put in the work. Plan ahead. Anticipate life. Consistently work towards the life you dream of.
- Health + Happiness – Taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, spiritually
- Home + Habits – Life tips and creating habits that lead to the life that want.
Enjoying the Everyday
Don’t let the mundane tasks of every day weigh you down. You don’t have to be caught in the Groundhog Day cycle of motherhood. Look for ways to add some sparkle.
- Hosting + Holidays – Sharing it all from recipes to party theme ideas to making holiday traditions with your kids.
- Parenting + Teaching – As a former teacher, I am passionate about creating a fun learning atmosphere at home from a young age. Kids are little sponges and you will be amazed how much they will soak up.
- Marriage – I am here to encourage you to make your marriage the absolute best that it can be. That looks different for every couple but a little extra attention and intentionality goes a long way.
