As we head into summer, a little spa therapy sounds just about perfect, right? Well, I’m here to deliver. After almost a year of hard work, I’m finally launching my website! Hooray! And here you are—as your amazing self—taking the leap with me. So for that, I will gift one special follower a botanical skin care collection.

I’ve always said that writers write about the topics that they need the most help with. For me, this topic is achieving a healthy life flow (because I secretly believe that “balance” is untouchable). This is not easy, but it goes something like this: Today I’m feeling like I actually accomplished something with a great new website launch, a lunchtime exercise routine, and healthy meals. Tomorrow, I may spend the whole day running kids around, with looming deadlines, and only coffee and a handful of chips in my tummy. The weekend may be spent doing laundry and catching up from a week full of juggling kids, work, and summer camp schedules. And then Monday comes, and I, thankfully, got a good night sleep and actually have enough brain power to jot down my week’s goals, penciling in a day or two to spend, work-free, lounging poolside with the kids or tackling a new summer recipe. Then inevitably I’ll go back a coffee-and-chips type of day again.

So while I’m over here working out the kinks in life, family, work, and beyond, I’m also hoping that you’ll be reading my posts. Without you, there is no inspiration, there’s no posse to empathize with, and there’s just no purpose. And sure, this blog is for moms. But it’s also for every woman who strives to keep balls in the air in a kind of kick back, ride-the-wave fashion. It can be done successfully. I think.

My blog is for those who want to get a handle on family organization, try a new recipe, develop a solid self-care routine, or need a new business tip or inspiring perspective. Maybe you want to dabble in using essential oils or making your own cheese. Maybe you’re excited to learn how to launch a new business that’s been brewing on the backburner or access your creativity when your mind draws a blank. I’m here to figure it out for you—if I haven’t already—and walk you through the steps.

But first here’s a treat! (Remember that spa therapy I mentioned?) Wander over to my homepage and subscribe at the top of the screen or CLICK HERE to enter my raffle.
