Momma Said There'd Be Days Like This // Swipe to s Momma Said There'd Be Days Like This // Swipe to see the "before" photo just minutes earlier. She was so HAPPY and cozy in her little snow bear suit. Then she got a little snow on her booty and wondered what on earth we had done to her.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I can relate, kid. We all have days like this.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I intentionally spend each morning with my kids before I start work for the day. We play and read and snuggle and learn. Many days, it's adorable. It's bliss. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Other days? I'm looking at the clock before 10am and wondering when their father is coming home to relieve me of their "adorable" antics. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
The same thing happens in my business. Sometimes I'm cruising along in a winning stretch. Ideal clients are booking, work is fulfilling, technology in playing nice, opportunities are coming our way.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Other times? You turn around and the calendar isn't as full as you'd like, you're working with someone who isn't your ideal client, factors beyond your control are smacking you in the face... sigh.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
But just like Charlotte girl, it's nothing that can't be fixed. The people you have in your corner make a huge difference. We picked her up, dusted off her booty, and she went on to enjoy the adventure.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
You NEED people like that in your corner too. Whether it's your momma tribe in this season of raising littles or your business bestie as you grow your dream.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Need business help? I get the juggle and just how much you have on the line. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I help female business owners, especially mommas, create profitable online spaces. I offer logos, websites, social media graphics, and print marketing to beautifully tie your brand together. Virtual digital marketing assistance also available.⁣⁠⠀

Create Your Own Way // Today was another one of th Create Your Own Way // Today was another one of those "pinch me, is this real?" moments in work-at-home-mom life. Unexpected snow meant hitting the pause button on work to enjoy it with my kiddo. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
NOT every day is like this and being a wahm has its fair share of challenges, but today was one of the sweet ones.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
This guy is convinced that fly swatters make the best snow toys. I was gathering a few things for him to take outside-- dump truck, buckets, sand rake... nope! ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Fly swatters. He used his imagination and came up with a dozen ways to play with them. He was so stinkin' happy!⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I hope he always has this sense of adventure and confidence. I hope he always looks for the creative solution. I hope I can continue to encourage his independence and also survive raising him. ;)⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Friends, in a time where social media is often telling us that we all need to be the same... I hope you take something from my little Carter man. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Whether it's motherhood or your business... make your own way. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Follow your gut. Use your unique gifts. If what's popular doesn't feel right for you, try something else. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Your people are out there. ⁣⁠⠀

Go For It // As I've expanded my own services, I'v Go For It // As I've expanded my own services, I've been talking A LOT with female small businesses owners. The common theme with so many of them is this desire, this goal, this vision, this BELIEF that they were on the cusp of something really great... and yet they waited.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
They waited for confidence.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
They waited for acceptance.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
They waited for perfection. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
They waited for other obligations to make space.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
STOP WAITING. Do you need permission?? Fine, you have mine. I give you permission to go for it.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Start small if you have to. Take a tiny step. Figure it out along the way. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Each setback will make you wiser.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Each win you have will give you more courage. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
If you're ready to make a go of it in this online space, I can help. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I help female business owners create profitable websites for their coaching businesses, boutiques, lifestyle sites, food blogs, educational websites, etc. If it's YOUR passion, then it's my passion to help you do it right.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Offering logos, websites, social media graphics, print marketing, and virtual digital marketing assistance. We'll put our heads together and make it work. I promise.⁣⁠⠀

Small Moments // My husband wearing the floral bab Small Moments // My husband wearing the floral baby carrier to take Charlotte on adventures is pretty much the best. He wanted to see the Apollo 11 exhibit, which was in its final days nearby in Cincinnati, so they made the trip together. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
It left me with just one kiddo, which meant a mommy-son date of our own. Then I was able to knock out some work in my office while Carter played, something that's more challenging with Miss Charlotte around these days.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Ryan could have left both kiddos with me, but aside from the fact that I would have given him serious death glares, he WANTS to do things like this with his kids. Charlotte was more than happy to tag along. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I've said it before and I'll say it again... this season of life is HECTIC. He's in the last 1.5 years of a ten year plastic surgery training journey. I'm growing my own small business and expanding my services. Our kiddos are little and not in school yet. It's allll a juggle.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
A season like this will teach you. Challenge you. REWARD you. You learn to make time for what matters, give a whole lot of grace, and enjoy as much of the journey as you can. I'm learning to be more flexible, fight my perfectionism, and really make the small moments count.⁣⁠⠀

Tradition // I've been making handprint and footpr Tradition // I've been making handprint and footprint projects with Carter since his first week home and adding Charlotte to this mix has been so sweet!⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
When Carter was born, I bought simple white 8x10 picture frames for our home and each set of grandparents. Then we update their picture frames throughout the year with seasonal art from the grandkids.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
They make such sweet keepsakes. I occasionally look back through our previous designs and it amazes me every time how much Carter's little hands and feet have grown over the years.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
It's also one of the sneaky ways we practice following directions and fine motor skills in preparation for school. I have loved watching Carter's participation evolve too-- he was the director this month for sure! He picked a dino out for himself and seriously debated between a unicorn or a bee for Charlotte.⁣⁠⠀

⁣⁠⠀
I thrive on a full plate, but also advocate for balance in motherhood, business, and life.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
My brain loves research and data and training, but some of my best decisions in life have happened when I just jumped in. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
The perfectionist in me could work a project to death, but there aren't enough hours in the day so sometimes "almost perfect" really is enough.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Watching this little lady explore has been such a lesson in life. Her personality is fascinating. She is completely fearless {hopefully we work on that} and dives in to everything full force. She is rarely content to just sit back and watch. She certainly makes her voice heard. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Here's to being a little more like Charlotte... jumping right in, figuring it out as you go, learning something each time you fall down and smack your face, and somehow having the courage to get back up and go at it again.⁣⁠⠀

Bake The Cookies // I shared this sentiment over o Bake The Cookies // I shared this sentiment over on our family blog {button in profile if you want to follow my hobby project}, but I wanted to capture it here too.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Sometimes I have really grand visions of motherhood in my head. Carter and I in our matching aprons, the kitchen is clean, toys are put away in the background, and we're covered in flour and sugar and love while we bond over baking cookies from scratch. We cuddle blissfully on the couch while the cookies bake and Charlotte naps peacefully upstairs.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I have the ingredients in the pantry, but you know what I don't have? The time, energy, or patience for all that mess. Yep, I said it.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I absolutely TREASURE sweet moments with my kiddos, but baking cookies just isn't happening right now. We had good intentions to make them for Santa and even that fell off the list.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
When I saw these Valentine cookies at the grocery store, I hid them in the shopping cart for a day just like this. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
And you know what? It was FINE. Carter had fun. We still had time together while sis napped. There wasn't a mess to clean up after. Everyone wins. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
There wasn't batter to lick from the beaters, but he licked some of the cookies before they made it to the baking sheet. That basically counts right?⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Second child alert: definitely let Charlotte eat one and Carter was waaaay proud that she got to enjoy his masterpiece. ⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
So mommas, I see your hearts. I know you want the best for your kiddos. And whatever that means to you, I'm cheering you on.⁣⁠⠀

Mom Life // I treated myself to an awesome new kit Mom Life // I treated myself to an awesome new kitchen gadget last month and I've been experimenting with lots of combinations so I don't get bored. Much to my delight, this one turned out PINK!⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I wasn't in to smoothies until I had the second kiddo, when my bowl of cereal would get soggy just about every day before I finished it. As a momma, it's easy to put yourself last and that meant too many skipped meals and raiding the pantry by mid-afternoon. Or late nights where dinner was skipped because I kept waiting for my husband to get home and then I'd wake up absolutely starving by morning.⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I resisted because the blender is not my friend. More dishes was a hard no for me, but I can quickly hand wash this when I'm finished and pop it on the drying rack for the next day. TA-DONE!⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
Sometimes a simple change is really all it takes to make a big difference. YOU deserve to be on your priority list! What simple change could make a difference for you??⁣⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀
I linked this one in the Amazon Finds button in my profile if you want to treat yourself.⁣⁠⠀
