The Life + Times of Me

Fill me up. 🧡

There was also some face mask, coffee, and couch-laying time!

It’s sunshine and shorts season!!!!!

Also, I better give myself a pedicure…or better yet go get one. 😅

Also also, I need more local honey because this pollen is for the bees, not my sinuses. 🤧

Most days this is me. Real. Raw. A little zombie-ish.

What am I usually thinking about?
- my next workout
- my kid’s schedule
- what I want to eat
- what I want to read
- how to better build my business
- how to better help teachers and students

I always have energy. But I’m also always tired. 😅 So my quick confidence boost, when I may not feel like the best me, is always a coat of mascara + swipe of tinted lip balm. And a smile.

Because when I let my light shine, others shine too. And it pours right back into me. The circle of joy continues.

Happy weekend friends. 🫶🏽

Back at it again—this time, the wild has led me to the agriculture classroom! 🌾🐄

Today’s adventure: surviving high schoolers in their natural habitat while rocking a cute fit.

Observations so far: they sometimes know what they’re doing, they’re also so unpredictable, and they have zero chill. 😆

Stay tuned for more substitute fun!

I can’t believe it. I said I wasn’t going to. I told myself the catalog was too big, too much. I was scared. I was lonely. And honestly? I felt completely adrift.

And then I did it.

Not fast. Not with urgency. But slow and steady. My pace. My way.

I took my time. I researched. I found the people I needed—ones who lead with connection, togetherness, and shining their light for others. And last night, during our first team huddle, I sat there with tears just streaming down my face. Relief. Assurance. A full knowing in my soul that this was it.

I found my place again. A team. A company. A home.

So if you’ve been watching… keep watching. This is just the next page of a whole new chapter. And YES, I’m still doing the nail polish thing—because if you know me, my tremors are still here, and polish that goes on dry is still unmatched.

But this? This is the fresh start I didn’t know I needed. 💛
