June Update ’17
I interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to share with you some really important news: I went to the best. farm. EVER. last weekend. It’s called Kangaroo Creek Farm – nestled in the Okanagan they provided the most hands-on animal experience I’ve ever had.

Make it Happen Monday
Every morning I find myself pretty fired up and ready to go, but let me tell you a little secret … I hardly ever go to bed feeling so great. Mix anxiety with perfectionist tendencies and going to sleep in peace is no easy task. Last night in particular I was feeling really defeated –…

Make it Happen Monday
Hey babes, sorry I’m late! I usually prep these Monday posts and schedule them so that they are up first thing in the morning with all you brights and shinys. But this weekend was exceptionally crazy, and last night what I really needed was to lay on the couch, drink coffee, and be with…

May Update
I find this time of year to be so interesting. It’s spring. It’s supposed to be a time of cleansing, releasing, growing, and change. A time to bloom. But I never feel like I’m blooming this time of year… I feel like I’m… flailing. Falling? Like I’m floating through space trying to grab a hold…
