PeoniesFlower CrownBaby Shower Tea FavorsOrganic baby itemsNose FridaI’m still enjoying these peonies around the house!

I’ll post a flower crown tutorial this week. LOVE how they turned out!

The tea favors are just too cute to open…but I must. So impressed and so humbled.

Got a LOT of baby gear organizing done this week. Looking at this cute baby stuff is pretty unreal.

Things like this Nose Frida is what I’ll be sipping but I’m also looking forward to a nice cocktail eventually. #reallife

Have a super weekend around people who love you, make you feel wonderful and inspire you to give your best back. XO

Linking up with The Lauren Elizabeth!

      Oh it is SO surreal to look at the little clothes! I get quite intimidated. Denial is still in full swing here, even withe the little crib next to our bed now! Yes, I’ve heard the Nose Frida is an essential. So cool! Kind of. LOL!

      LOL It’s another way to suck phlegm from a person’s nose. There is a filter so that you don’t suck anything into your own mouth/lungs. The bulb syringe is the traditional tool. This is one of those granola/more effective/natural methods. I’m digging it….maybe until I have to use it! HA!

      HA-YES The Nose Frida is totally from Sweden! It’s really popular here..among granola people that is. Tea just feels fancy, right? It’s quite “steeped” in tradition. bahahah. Enjoy your weekend too, Niina!

      Thank you so much, Olivia. I just started to really nest this week as it seemed too intimidating or unnecessary before now. I’m getting more motivated and prepared. Yes, I’m counting my blessings too! Have a wonderful weekend, Olivia!

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.
