Hey, everyone! I cannot believe that it's already January of 2022. I mean, how is time flying by so quickly lately?! I have been thinking long and hard about my 2022 goals. At first, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to set any because it's so easy to fall out of your routine and lose sight of goals that are created in January. But, I wanted to try to create and stick to them...and we'll see what happens! Either way, I do hope that these goals will help shape my year, allowing me to do great things ...
Christmas Shopping Guide – 2021
Surprisingly, I've never done a Christmas shopping guide in the past. I've always thought that Christmas shopping is so personal and unique, so why would anyone want to know what I am asking for, or gifting to others? However, what I've learned this year is that as a busy mom, you really don't have a ton of time to sit down and think about exactly what you are gifting others. I mean, I try my best of course, but I've relied a lot on other blogs and Instagram channels that have posted Christmas ...

Don't worry, I'll break everything down for you like I always do, but today, I just wanted to post a short and sweet blog post about how much fun we had in Ft. Myers Beach!

Elderberry Syrup Recipe | The Benefits Of Elderberry
This post on the benefits of elderberry (with an elderberry syrup recipe!) has been sponsored by Sweet's, but all opinions are my own. Last fall at the start of flu season, I was preparing to have a baby, which meant that I was doing anything and everything possible to keep my immune system functioning as best it could. I worked out regularly, drank green smoothies, ate very clean, and took some supplements like my prenatal vitamin, probiotics, and elderberry syrup, to name a few. I ...
