Reflecting on the gift of pause as I blossom into motherhood.

I remember, back in October, the moment I found out I was pregnant. I was a couple days late with my period—nothing out of the norm for me—and I thought, why not, I’ll take a pregnancy test, even though I didn’t feel pregnant at all.

A note from me on what it means to live well — and how it begins in the home.

It’s funny how, when not pregnant, I do my best to refrain from unwanted expansion, but now I embrace it, enjoy it. It’s quite the shift, mentally and physically.

To fill your cup is an expression that means to restore your energy—mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Sharing all the things that fill me up.

When the outside feels messy, we always have our inner peace.

Our intuition is much smarter than we give it credit for — as Einstein said, it is a “sacred gift.” But how can we possibly tune into this sacred gift when we are busy looking outside and using what we’ve learned from others to guide us?

Here I share some personal tools I use to slow down, and ultimately, deeper connection to my intuition. I hope you find these helpful too.
