A Shout Out to the One that Makes Dinner Every Night!

A Shout Out to the One that Makes Dinner Every Night!

Is It Normal to Get Upset when Someone Doesn’t Like What You Made for Dinner? One day last week I decided to make a dish that my family had been asking to have for a couple of days. We have all been feeling a little on edge with so much going on around us, so I thought a nice family dinner with one of their favorite dishes would be a great mood enhancer. Yes, I do show my love through my food. Well, first off dinner was ready way before everyone got home from work and after school activities. So yes, I started to beat myself up for not planning my timing better. That was my first mistake. Also, I tried a slightly different cooking method than usual. Don’t ask me why. The original method was not difficult. I am just always trying new things in the kitchen. Sometimes my madness works. Well that night it didn’t.

Are you feeling stuck and clueless about what to do next?

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a pattern of doing the same thing over and over and you feel like you are getting nowhere in life? Do you find decision making an impossible task?

Sometimes we feel clueless in life. Don’t beat yourself up. We all go through these times of not knowing. Some decisions just aren’t meant for us to make all on our own. When you are feeling like this, it is ok to stop and wait. Pray, ask God to show you the next step. Be specific. Ask for it to be the obvious choice. Listen and without worry, just make the next small step. One baby step at a time will get you to your destination. If you still feel lost or confused, ask for help. Find a mentor that has been where you think you might want to be. Take a deep look inside of yourself to see what your core values and beliefs reveal. Take a break from your normal routine. Do something fun and stop beating yourself up about needing to figure out the next “right” move. The answer will come to you in time. Follow these guidelines…

7 Steps to Dealing with Overwhelm in Your Day

Are you feeling overwhelmed with everything that you need to do today?

You’ve come to the right place. I get it. We are trying to do so much to take care of everyone else. We want to be all to everyone in our lives. You don’t want to disappoint anyone. And your goals are sky high for what you want to accomplish today and in your life. You truly believe you can do it all because according to every inspirational poster and meme out there, You Are Unstoppable! You Can Do It!

Well, I agree. You are a force to be reckoned with. But trust me, it takes time to conquer whatever it is you are working towards. Rome wasn’t built in a day and today shouldn’t look like you are trying to show those guys how lazy they were! So please stop and take a breath. Make a list. Prioritize. Ask for help. Show yourself some grace. Learn to say no. Stop comparing yourself to other people’s “perfect” life.

How Do You Unwind at the End of the Day?

How Do You Unwind at the End of the Day?

It is time to unwind. I left the dirty dishes on the counter, went outside, threw my blanket on the ground and crashed. I am done competing with Martha Stewart today! She's got a bunch of assistants that make her look perfect everyday anyway. Last night I treated myself to some self care. It was a long week. Honestly it was a huge breakthrough for me to just decide to give myself some pampering and not ask for anyone's permission or approval. I didn't care, I needed it!

Is Making a Vision Board a Good Idea?

A vision board is a tool that you can use to make your dream life a reality. It has been proven that once you put your thoughts down on paper, they become real and true in the world. This puts your energy of abundance and manifestation into gear!

A vision board can be a physical board made of poster paper and cut out magazine clippings or stickers of anything that you would like to see come to fruition for your life. Or you can make a virtual board using a program like Canva or even a pinterest board. I have made both and as long as it is a medium that you can look at on a daily basis, they both do the job of bringing your vision to LIFE!

Why you Need to Give Yourself Permission to Rest

A very good friend of mine helped me to come up with this amazing mantra, “I choose to embrace the power of my relaxation.” Trust me, it sounds crazy, but there is great power in relaxation.

We are in a crazy world where we are taught that we must be busy and constantly doing something in order to be productive and successful. It is so hard to let go of this notion.

Rest is vital for better mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, reduced stress, improved mood and even a better metabolism. If you do not take the time to rest, relax, and recharge, all of that hard work just might crumble to pieces.

There are so many great people that have worked hard to pave the way so that the rest of us can learn from them and go forward living our best life.

The Beginners Guide to Simple Cooking for your Family

Simple Cooking is recipes involving less than 10, or even better less than 5 ingredients to make the main dish and sides for a meal. Another goal of simple cooking is to not have a ton of clean up when you are done so only 1-3 pots and or pans are needed to complete this meal. The skills that you learn in this simple cooking method can be expanded on to make more creative or complex meals, but I’m gonna be honest, simple cooking tastes Really Good! And the family is always happy to sit down for these dinners.

Loving Life Was Specifically Designed for YOU! (and here’s why)

I am tired of looking around and seeing so many women judging themselves against this crazy impossible standard of perfection that is shown to us everyday in every form of media and sometimes from our friends, family, and coworkers. So many people are struggling with it, and there just hasn’t been a solid resource created to help them let go of this need for perfection and truly love themselves and the life that they are living.
