I’m going to get deep but let’s warm up to it. 

IMG_3180

1. These are the “marmi” clothes I tried on at TJ Maxx this week with Jen. I ended up with a workout tank, bigger sports bra and “marmi” flower bedtime pants. Chris’ (American) friend in Spain called the older Spanish women who wore flower print from head to toe, marmis. These are what I used to call: Birth Control. 

2. When searching for some SENIOR (AKA lower calorie) dog food yesterday for my curvy dog, I saw THIS and was a little put off. I chose another. I think this dog is cute! Charlie would have died if I brought this to him. The sugar-free gummy bear cleanse would be kinder (check the crude Amazon.com reviews-Chris sister told us about it last night-we were crying).IMG_3223

3. Does it get more personal than a photograph of something deep inside my bod? There is something wildly inappropriate about this and very possibly uninteresting to anyone but me, but this is the type of stuff I like to look at on the internet so here is a photo of the baby!

IMG_3222

This is a photo I took at home while watching the 4D video ultrasound.

At one point during the ultrasound appointment, he started opening and closing that hand like a little wave. The doctor and technician laughed as Chris and I stared in complete shock. It always feels sneaky to me that we are spying on this little one.

    I love the ultrasound pic! It was so fun for us to compare the ultrasound pic to the kids when they were born. It’s amazing how accurate the ultrasounds are!

      It’s SO freaky! I wonder if he’ll look any different after many more months of growing?!

    ahh your baby photo is so cool – amazing how much detail you can see now. and love that he waved to you. also one of my dogs is a little plump and she would be offended over that ‘fat dog’ food too ha.

      🙂 yup, I would like to give credit to the Seattle winter last year for Charlie’s new figure. Now that we’re in LA, he’s doing yoga and drinking smoothies so it’s looking good!

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you had a lovely day, Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you had a lovely day, my friends. Mothers are our foundation. Motherhood has given me the greatest gifts I could ever ask for. Thank you to all the moms out there!
🚩Save this for those overwhelming days when you 🚩Save this for those overwhelming days when you need a reset ↓

💫 These 3 micro habits made a real difference for me.

1. ❤️ ⚡️I have been practicing @heartmath ’s heart coherence exercise. A 90 second way to connect to your heart and get out of your head. Put your hand on your heart I like to close my eyes and start breathing into my heart space.  slow down your breath. Start to think of something or someone that you feel great gratitude for and focus on that feeling as you breathe into your heart space. Once I’m connected to that feeling of gratitude, I ask God to guide me in whatever area I’ve been overthinking. I get a really clear and simple answer and focus on that throughout the day.
Great technique I learned about through @the_human_design_coach 

It’s more about how to be and not all about what to do. 

2. ☀️I have loads of energy but only when I’m doing things that I’m excited about and that can include chores! I just have to spin it so it’s fun for me.

3. 🌖 Letting my menstrual cycle guide how I organize my energy through the month has been a huge permission slip and guiding light for when I need to rest, and when I am super creative or clearheaded for organizing.

I tried it.
It stressed me out. 🤣
Then I realized: I don’t need to “balance it all” daily.

I can store up joy and energy like a camel.🥰

Go big one day, go birth control robe or the park for the rest.

It’s an energy strategy.

That’s camel mom energy. 🐫
Anyone else relate?

My best friend from college (and the Navy) and I went to see Diana Krall downtown this week and it was a dream come true. I don’t go out too often but I enjoy this camel life.

Why I Stopped Pushing Through—and Started Syncing With My Cycle.
My energy changed a lot after 40.

I started noticing how often I was frustrated for being “off”—when really, my body was just in a different phase of its natural rhythm.

✨ When I gave myself permission to follow it instead of fight it, everything shifted.
Not just my productivity, but my peace.

Here’s what that looks like for me as a creative mom who still has big goals—but honors her energy instead of ignoring it:

🌑 Menstrual (Days 1–5)
→ Rest. Reflect. Retreat.
What I allow: Canceling the extras, cuddles, quiet meals, journaling, soft podcasts, total permission to be still.

🌱 Follicular (Days 6–13)
→ Fresh starts. Planning. Creativity.
What I lean into: New ideas, organizing, writing, dreaming up what’s next.

🌕 Ovulatory (Days 14–17)
→ Connection. Communication. Confidence.
What I schedule: Friend dates, family outings, big conversations, batch errands, showing up.

🍂 Luteal (Days 18–28)
→ Discernment. Deep work. Cozy nesting.
What I focus on: Prepping, cleaning, saying “no,” creating comfort, finishing strong before I rest.

—
Even in perimenopause or menopause, your energy has rhythm.
It’s not all in your head. It’s in your body—and it’s wise.
✨ You don’t need to be perfect. Just aware.
—
📌 Save this for when you want to check in with your body.

👇
Do you already notice these shifts in your month? Has this helped you trust yourself more?

🏃‍♀️ I was on such a fast track: Right ou 🏃‍♀️ I was on such a fast track:
Right out of college, I was headed to Naval flight school — and then just as quickly, I was kicked out for being too short to fly.

The very next day, I was driving from Pensacola to Newport, Rhode Island to learn how to drive ships and run engineering departments.

My whole life, I associated speed with ambition.
The faster I moved, the more successful I thought I was becoming.

But motherhood changed me.
It introduced me to a different kind of ambition — a quieter kind.
A kind of ambition that’s measured in presence, not promotions.

In how well I manage my energy, not how many tasks I check off-(I relearn this so many times and each time I get back on track quicker- 👋 Generators).

In the kind of role model I am becoming — not just what I am achieving.

Slowing down and living in my energy didn’t erase my ambition.
It refined it.

When I honor my energy,
there is still room for my personal dreams too.

Your kids won’t be little forever.
The woman you’re becoming will be with you for a lifetime.

Slowing down isn’t falling behind — it’s finally running your own race.

❤️ This if you’re learning how to live in tune with your energy — and still hold space for your dreams.

Comment TYPE and I’ll show you your energy type.
