How to Make a Simple Shrimp Scampi – #3SI

I’m a busy mom, with a lot of chaos in my household. I’m the manager of so many things in my home – I manage my business, I manage the finances, and I {usually} manage to keep the house organized and clean. With all of the things going on each day, I totally rely on some great routines we have in place, to keep things as simple and streamlined as possible. And one of those routines ismeal planning – I like to plan meals out a week in advance, shop just once that week for everything we’ll need, and make sure that the recipes that I choose are quick and easy enough to be done even when I’m rushing to meet deadlines.

Creating Spring Goals… #BBYSpringForward

“Jumping at several small opportunities may get us there more quickly than waiting for one big one to come along.”  – Hugh Allen… I seldom set many New Year’s Resolutions – the weather is dreary, and I’m exhausted from the bustle of the holiday season. But spring feels like time for fresh starts – new goals, new plans, big dreams. And this quote is a perfect motivator for me this spring – It’s a reminder that it’s not the BIG things that make a difference in life – whether we’re talking about relationships, saving money, weight loss, online business, or any of the other areas of that I have goals in – it’s the small, everyday, consistent actions that help us reach our goals. I think of the tortoise and the hare, or the joke, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” Right?

How to Find Your Own Natural Beauty… #7dayjourney

“I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.” – Audrey Hepburn… You hear the term “natural beauty” a lot – but what does that really mean? Does it mean just skipping make-up? Is it about living organically? Do you connect the term with the beauty of nature that surrounds us? To me, it means living life in a way that is authentic, where your heart is happy, and you feel at peace. Being comfortable and confident in your own skin and being able to see the everyday joy in life is what makes someone beautiful – a relaxed smile on their face, good posture as they stand tall and walk with purpose, a glow that comes from being content with what you have and where you’re at. Since becoming a mother, I’ve gotten better at feeling as though I have “just enough” – who cares if I don’t have the latest handbag, when I have little toddler snuggles and smiles? And children grow so amazingly quickly, that it kind of forces you to slow down, to live “in the moment,” and to cherish the little things.
