We received a free @musicadventurebox and it was pretty great! My 3.5 year old loved the activities included and my almost 1 year old loves the songs and music that go along with them. #musicforkids #musicskills #preschooler #playingislearning

I wanted to share a little bit more about my story.

I was previously a full-time working mama with my first and decided to work VERY part-time when she was about 16 months old. It still wasn't a great fit so I decided to stay home with her around her 2nd birthday.
I've been a full-time stay at home mama for over a year and a half.

I blogged for awhile when I was working but haven’t felt called to write in the last 18 months or so.

We welcomed our second daughter at the beginning of the year and it’s been a whirlwind.

As a stay at home mom, I began to feel restless and like I had lost myself in caring for my tiny humans. I started to feel like I needed to do something that was just for me or I might lose it.

So, I created habits and routines and started setting goals for myself (make back Usborne Books investment, pay off debt, run a 5k, no added sugar for the month of October, etc.). I started a freelancing business from home doing Pinterest management for female entrepreneurs which took off right away and is so AMAZING! I literally started in August 14th and by October 1st, I was making over $1,000 a month!

By setting and achieving my goals, that restlessness started to disappeared and I felt such pride in myself and the work that I’ve done to reach them.

My girls see their mama working for something and doing what it takes to succeed.

I feel like a better mom when I take time out of my day (even just 30 minutes) to work on my goals and myself.

As much as the freelancing is great, my heart wanted to be doing more and having more impact. I feel called to help and empower other women.

It took me about a month to decide I NEED to do more, so I hired a coach and she helped me determine what my true passions and skills are.

I’ve become a Goal Fulfillment Coach for Moms so I can help other mamas rediscover their passions and crush their goals so they feel more confident and purposeful in their life.

If you’re a mama that’s feeling a bit lost and you’re ready to make some changes and do what it takes to reach your goals (whatever they may be!), come join us in my new FB community, Goal-Getting Mamas (link in bio)

First selfie (that I can currently remember) I’ve uploaded to Instagram! Not the typical styled, Instagram-worthy photo because this is my #reallife. Sometimes I see those beautiful insta posts from other mamas that are absolutely gorgeous and I feel bad that I’m not rocking it like that. I’m lucky if I even get dressed on any given day. I live in my robe with messy hair (which is turning gray), not makeup on my face, and likely have poop or spit-up somewhere. I have a 2 month old and an almost 3 year old and this is just life at our house. So no matter how you’re rocking motherhood, dressed with makeup and beautiful hair or in a robe wearing puke or poop, YOU’RE DOING A GREAT JOB!

This is one of my most favorite books! Check out the link in the bio to learn about the “All Better!” book and get a free printable to go along with it! This book is seriously awesome! It comes with 5 reusable bandage stickers that CAN BE RINSED WITH WATER AND REUSED! How great is that?! We have a dog that sheds like crazy, so being able to rinse the stickers is wonderful! .
