So why did I take a little break from social media and blogging? SURPRISE…I AM 12 WEEKS PREGNANT! This isn’t much of a surprise to me, as my husband I are were trying for baby #2, but for most of you who follow along, I haven’t really expressed my want for a bigger family. While we are elated, my body, on the other hand, had different thoughts.

Alarm goes off…hit snooze…alarm goes off…scroll Instagram…alarm goes off…shit, it’s an hour later and I’m late!

This is me, every single morning and I’m sick of it. You, too? If so, let’s work togehter to try a few things that may help us to finally be morning people.

So much food...so many cocktails...so little exercise...Does this sound familiar? Because this is how I always feel after the holidays. But the good news? There is hope to feeling good again - so take the new year as a golden opportunity to hit the refresh button! Don’t set unrealistic resolutions or goals that you likely won’t be able to achieve. Instead, tell yourself that you are going to be better and each day is a new day!

We’re all friends here, right? I thought so. Which is why I’m opening up and getting personal about my year of change. Starting mostly with this blog and my brand. You might want to grab a cup of coffee (or a mimosa)…this could be a long one!

I’m happy to announce that our home renovation has come to an end! Actually, who am I kidding? I begged my construction team to let us move in on December 1st, because we had to be out of our rental or else we would have been charged extra per day and because I just wanted to be back in my house and start to feel normal again in time for the holidays.

With Thanksgiving next week, this is the room I can’t stop thinking about. I love to entertain, and although we won't be in the house for the holiday, I can’t help but dream of one day hosting a holiday dinner in this space.
