How to Make Better Use of Limited Time in Your Day

I had several people tell me that once you have a baby, you become the most efficient version of yourself - so much so that you wonder what you did with all your time before kids. I can 100% say this has been true for me! Ever since having George, I've noticed just how little time I have to get work done (or things in general, you know, like showering). It's been a struggle for sure, but I'm finding my groove when it comes to time management. Whether you have a new baby or are simply trying to make better use of limited time, here are some things to try... ...

The Outfit Combination I Wore Most as a New Mama

Almost four months later, I finally feel like I'm getting energy back to get dressed (most days), but in the early early stages of motherhood, that simply wasn't the case. I lived in comfy loungewear and honestly didn't even deal with jeans for at least a few weeks. And while that was comfy and all, I did occasionally miss, you know, looking decent. ...

Girl On a Budget: Boho Floral Blouse

Isn't it a great feeling when you go to compliment someone on their outfit and learn that it was actually budget-friendly? That's how I felt about this under $25 blouse. When I want something feminine and comfortable enough to get me through a long workday or trip to music class with George -- this is my top. It's only $25, yes, 25 bucks, and looks way more expensive than it actually is.

As the pregnancy progressed, I read so many books and blogs about motherhood, sleep schedules, daily routines, and more. Like many new mothers, I was trying to do my best to prepare for raising a child. Even though I was a kinder and first grade school teacher for several years, I really didn't have much experience with babies. This was ALL new to me, but I was determined to learn as much as possible. ...

5 Tips for Going on a Realistic Digital Detox

Wednesday night I was asked to speak at the FGI Dallas Fall Forum on the Influencer Panel. During the discussion, the topic of "Digital Detox" came up. I've always felt very passionate about finding a work/life balance that works for you, but I also think it's important for content creators, influencers and bloggers to know that it's ok to unplug. In a world where we're all obsessed with sharing on social media and being on our phones snapping everything, I think it's so important to take time for breaks. You might think this sounds a little crazy coming from someone whose career is made through social media and a website, and believe me, it's hard for me too! But there's something to be said for putting my phone down and being present with friends and family. ...
