New Year, New Self-Reflections

As 2021 has come to a close, I have been taking some time to reflect on the past year (the good & the bad), as well as my aspirations for 2022. Taking the time to sit back and self-reflect has been so beneficial to my mental health, so I wanted to share the questions I have been using! These are also great for couples to answer together so the start of a new season can go smoothly. Grab your favorite cup of coffee, get in some comfy clothes, and pick a few of these questions to answer as we take on the new year!

5 Reasons to Start Doing Yoga
5 Reasons to Start Doing Yoga

I have been practicing yoga on and off for about five years. I go through seasons of my life where I practice more than others, due to the current high demands in my work and home environment. During this time at home, I have been working on finding more ways to stay disciplined practicing yoga on a daily basis. Yoga allows me to feel more centered and at peace with my life and the decisions I make. Yoga combined with meditation, positive parenting, and overall wellness have made a large impact in my life, and I would encourage everyone to try it out for themselves! What a better time to begin practicing yoga than International Yoga Day? Keep reading for 5 great reasons to start doing yoga!

January Self-Care Goals
January Self-Care Goals

2020 is right around the corner, and it’s time you update your skincare routine for the New Year! Let’s face it, there are very few times throughout the day that we have to dedicate to ourselves. For me, this is early in the morning before Aimery goes to school, or late at night after everyone is asleep. One of my resolutions is to be more mindful about how I use this time and invest in myself through self-care, pampering, and practical indulgence!

SNACK IDEAS FOR PICKY TODDLERS AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET

Aimery started to become a picky eater around his second birthday. It came as such a surprise to me since he never fought me about food before!
