For the Mom Who Can’t Shut Her Brain Off

Some days my brain feels like 47 tabs are open… and 12 of them are playing music I can’t find 😅 Between kids, schedules, house stuff, random thoughts at 2am, and trying to remember literally anything… my brain just gets LOUD. So I made something simple to get it all out. My Busy Mama Brain

I bought a PALM PLANT on Palm Sunday

We missed church on Sunday because we of sickness in the house. It was a bummer—especially knowing they were handing out palm leaves. I had wondered if I could’ve brought one home (had we went to church) and propagated it. I thought that’d be such a special way to bring God closer to us in our

I’ve been on Mounjaro for almost a year now and overall it’s been a really positive experience… But last week SUCKED. I took my first 10mg dose, then ended up skipping a week before taking the next shot. At the time I didn’t think much of it… but my body definitely noticed. Within a day of t
