I Think I Need a Reset I haven’t written a blog post in a little while, and I think I finally realized why. I need a minute. The past few weeks have been busy. Between work, school, finishing up my bachelor’s degree, working a few different jobs, nurse coaching, and trying to keep up with regular life, I realized today that I’m getting dangerously close to falling behind. And if you know me, you know that is not like me. Usually, I’m the person who sits down and gets a week (

Happy Autumn Equinox! 🍂 🍁 The autumn equinox marks the transition from the long, bright days of summer into the darker half of the year. From here, the days continue to get shorter until we reach the winter solstice. While I’m never quite ready to say goodbye to summer, I love what this season invites us to slow down, turn inward, spend more time at home, gather with the people we love, and prepare ourselves and our spaces for winter. Celebrating the autumn equinox can loo

Sweat it out! The Science-Backed Benefits of Sauna I absolutely love saunas. I went to a new business, Elevated Tanning, where I was able to use their brand new sauna and had such a pleasant experience. It had Bluetooth capabilities, so I was even able to listen to a podcast while enjoying the dry heat. They are gaining a lot of attention, and researchers have also become increasingly interested in what regular heat exposure may do for our physical health. Your Heart & Circul

My nurse coaching clients have expressed that they love when I share some of my favorite recipes that pack a powerful, nutritional punch 👊 Before I hand out the recipe, I encourage you to read and educate yourselves on the benefits of the ingredients. My clients will tell you that I give them homework and make them read! 😉 (The following is a summary from articles with links to support them using AI. I will always tell my readers when I use AI, and you can trust that I revi

After a beautiful 10 years with our beloved basset hound, he suddenly got very sick and had to cross the rainbow bridge. He lived a happy, fun, lazy hound-styled life (the way he liked it), filled with lots of cozy snuggles & kisses from his family who centered the best parts of life around him. I felt inclined to write today's blog to bring awareness of the cancer that took him from us- Hemangiosarcoma, otherwise known as the "Ogre" of vetinary canine medicine (Ritt, 2007).

Today was the last sunday before Labor Day, and sadly it feels like summer is officially over. The leaves on my maple tree are turning red and falling slowly to the ground. Mornings are brisk with temperatures in the high 50s, and the smell of autumn is in the air 🍂 I spent most of the day doing yard work, throwing away dead hanging baskets, trimming back dying hostas, and prepping for the fall decor (hello mum season)! While cleaning out my garden beds, I wanted to do somet

It’s that time of year again- pickle season! 🥒 Unfortunately, my garden did not get the memo this year. I went into the season with big plans, especially after my husband built me the cutest little farm stand 😔 I pictured it overflowing with cucumbers, peppers, beans, and all the vegetables I’d grown myself. Nature, however, had other plans. Some kind of aggressive vine completely took over my garden and basically strangled everything in its path. By the end of the summer,

There’s something happening in the sky tonight that feels almost too perfectly timed for this season of my life. Tonight’s full moon is accompanied by a lunar eclipse in Pisces- my sign ♓️ And apparently, Pisces eclipses aren’t exactly known for being subtle. Astrologically, lunar eclipses represent culmination. Things coming to the surface. Chapters closing. Truths becoming harder to ignore. They’re associated with releasing what has reached its expiration date rather than d

Tonight, we attempted a nice family dinner. You know the kind. The one where everyone gets dressed up to have a nice family meal, and it ends before the drinks are even ordered. I won't get into the details, but let's just say our nice family dinner ended much earlier than anticipated. There was embarrassment. There was frustration. There was the car ride home where every parent suddenly starts saying things their own parents said to them. "We can't take you ANYWHERE." "Do yo

Just simply sharing my Pinterest account: Pinterest I started this account when I was maybe 15? It's been up and running for a very long time and I use it often. I have over 8.5k followers, so I thought that was kind of cool, too. I will be using that platform to upload some pictures that I will be using for this blog. Give me a follow!

Maybe starting a blog in 2026 is a little ironic (don't you think?) We live in a world of TikTok, Insta, influencers, algorithms, reels, AI, and a constant stream of content coming at us from every direction. And here I am... starting a blog. I was born in 1996, which means I grew up in this really weird and wonderful little window of time. I remember life before everything revolved around a screen, but I also got to grow up alongside the internet and all of it's advancements
