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

This is What Losing 100 Pounds Actually Looks Like

Everyone talks about the number on the scale. But there’s so much more that changes. Your face changes. Your confidence changes. The way you see yourself in photos changes. Looking back at these pictures feels surreal. I’m grateful for the progress — but I’m also grateful for the vers

The Week Mounjaro Humbled Me

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

GLP-1, But Make it Chaotic - Today’s Been Rough 😑

11 months on Mounjaro. Still managed to throw up in the school pickup line today. Of course it waited until everyone came out of school and I started pulling forward to get to my kid. Nothing like casually scanning the parking lot, praying to God that nobody sees me, or that we can put a
