How is it already the end of January? I feel as though the first month of 2021 just whizzed by! I took a bit of a social media hiatus these past few weeks to focus on myself, develop personal growth goals for the new year, and get ready for my last semester of graduate school. […]

I cannot believe that we are already more than a week into the new year and so much has already happened.

Practicing good self-care is difficult at any time, especially while being quarantined. However, now more than ever self-care is essential. I listed how I am practicing self-care during this time.

Like so many other mothers that I know, sleep during pregnancy was difficult. Between the uncomfortable big belly, hot flashes, and urge to “nest” in the middle of the night, sleeping was not an easy task. I genuinely looked forward to the sleep I’d enjoy once our son was born. I wasn’t naive though: I […]
