Obviously, I know this. There is no way I can do it all, let alone do it all well. However, I live and plan out my days acting otherwise. I think part of the issue is the fact that my main job is being a mom. Since I don’t have a typical 9-5 job, I…… Continue reading You Just Can’t Do It All

This almost always leaves me falling asleep wishing I used…… Continue reading Routines Pt. 3
Routines Pt. 2
The Afternoon Routine I don’t know about you, but I definitely hit a slump in the afternoon. It usually hits around 1pm.
