Even though we're empty nesters now, it hasn't always been that way.In the midst of the full house, Greg and I EACH had to prioritize time to ourselves.EVEN IF it was only for 15 minutes.Grab that daily schedule.Find an unclaimed time (or create one) during which you can do something JUST FOR YOU. You deserve it.💕 ... See MoreSee Less

Let's normalize gratitude for the small things…Like the colors of fall, children laughing, and Pumpkin Spice tea. Sometimes it can feel like gratitude is cheesy.It can be easy to say the same things all the time that you feel like you SHOULD feel thankful for: shelter, food, family, etc.Those types of things that are grandeur and acceptable to say at the Thanksgiving table.🍲But my gratitude practice didn’t feel like a chore anymore when I would look for the simple, little joys throughout my day.Drop something small and silly you've been appreciating in the comments! 👇🏼 ...
