Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Wordless Wednesday: The Elf on the Shelf


This month our elf has been on the shelf, on the bar (guess she got thirsty), and all over the house.  As the story goes, the elf moves every night because she travels to the North Pole. And she does, except that one time she stayed in the same place for two days because she was "meditating".


In any event our elf makes us all behave better. The kids are trying to impress her and we're trying desperately to not let down the kids!



BTW-I preferred the plush elf, which is why we use this one.
