As I’ve fallen a bit out of my morning routine these past few weeks…I’ve learned (the hard way) what the non-negotiable things are for me to be a happy, energetic, positive (read: not crazy and stressed out and keeping the “fun” in family fun time) Mamma… Shower every day (yes, it was getting a little lax) Meditate…
Read MoreConfessions of a Control Freak
Control freak. I used to be one. A “Control Enthusiast” as my mentor says. I thought that in order to be successful, to reach my “goals”, I had to be in complete control. I thought that to raise my girls right and to have a long, loving marriage, I had to be in control of…
Read MoreHow to Improve Your Business Through Mindset
Last week on Instagram and Facebook we talked all about mindset. All the things, like abundance, money mindset, positivity, and self-care, are part of a joyFUL life.

This spring, over Easter weekend actually, my love and I took off for a few days in sunny Florida…which was heavenly, especially if you know what the weather has been like in New England this spring! Neither one of us had our girls for the weekend, and after the last 12 months, we both needed…

2018 Recap 2018…that was SO last year. I mean, it was a year, for sure. There were some highs (I found my incredible business tribe). And some lows (ummm, cancer).

Read MoreCommitment. It’s THE word right now.

Today, my girls and I met up with Darren and his daughters (and his oldest’s +1!) at the Deerfield Fair in Deerfield, NH. We were looking for something to do that was the quintessential “fall in New England” activity, but didn’t involve hours of baking as the follow up! So an agricultural fair beat out…

What?!?! Seriously, who do you think you are? How many times have you asked yourself this question? My guess is at least a hundred if you’ve asked it once… am I right? The other day, I got an email from a friend and colleague in my business group who I saw last week at our…
