…I will fully admit I didn’t understand the point of “romanticizing life” until I was in my thirties. Probably until I was a mom actuallly. However… there was something so incredibly beautiful (moving even 😅) about running into my childhood girl friend Megan at the Hazy Daisy Boutique only to realize that she’s now a kick a** mama and business owner of Meg B Booms (peep our ig ttexplorespittsburgh / catch here there at megbblooms for more)! We hadn’t seen each other for years but the instant pride in each others’ success was very real and very touching. That’s the power of women supporting women! We can walk the talk millennial mamas 🩷🌼. #pittsburgh #pittsburghsmallbusiness #womenownedbusiness #womensupportingwomen #floralarrangements

... Read moreRomanticizing life is more than just a trendy phrase—it's about appreciating everyday moments and finding beauty in unexpected encounters. I’ve experienced this firsthand, especially as a mom balancing life’s many roles. Running into an old friend at a local boutique like Hazy Daisy can remind us how far we’ve all come and inspire us to celebrate each other's achievements. Supporting women-owned businesses such as Meg B Booms, a floral arrangement company in Pittsburgh, highlights the importance of community and empowerment. These businesses often reflect personal passion and resilience, making every purchase more meaningful. Following local Instagram accounts like ttexplorespittsburgh and megbblooms can connect you to this vibrant community. Moreover, romanticizing life encourages us to embrace nostalgia and personal growth simultaneously. It has helped me see motherhood not as a limiting role but as a powerful identity that fuels ambition and creativity. Walking this path with other millennial moms, sharing successes and challenges, builds a support network that uplifts everyone involved. Incorporating this mindset into daily living transforms ordinary experiences into memorable chapters of our life stories. Whether it’s a walk in a sunny neighborhood, a chat at a boutique, or supporting a woman-owned business, romanticizing your life is about recognizing and celebrating these moments with intention and joy.

Nursing school secrets no one will admit!
I’m taking my prerequisites for nursing and most of my peers are LPNs, CNAs or MAs. They all gave me the same speech: 1️⃣ after you’re done with your prerequisites, make sure to read what you’ve learn and even quiz yourself whenever you can. That way you wouldn’t forget all that you’ve learn.
