Birthday Night

April 23, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE, Out and About, Uncategorized

Little Fork

Little ForkLittle ForkLittle ForkSo I’ve been playing around with my website and it reminds me of when I watched my dad take apart a few VCRs then try to put them back together again when I was a kid. I’d hear some little curse words and sometimes he’d be up all night trying to fix the thing. You know how many parts are in those! 

Even when the site is a little wonky, I have to step away from the computer to regroup. Thanks for your patience! 

Last night we went out for dinner at Little Fork and saw The Book of Mormon at The Pantageous Theatre with our friends, Rion and Jackie. Super entertaining and great company.

The egg cups were made of some sort of reusable material and they were delicious. They kind of make me think of dinosaur eggs. The food was DELICIOUS! We had some lobster rolls, beet salad (of course)  and potato gnocchi. Jackie’s drink was a fancy version of a Manhattan. I want to drink everything out of cups like these.

    It’s so hard to not play with the site, isn’t it?!? I can’t seem to stop…but I love your style. It’s so fresh and free all at the same time (did that even make sense?).

      Thank you, Rebecca! I go through little programming binges. Then sometimes I mess a bunch of stuff up and freak out. LOL. Hey, it’s helping with neuroplasticity right? It will keep us smarter and younger! I have a few more ideas for the site but I have to take breaks so I don’t go cray! 🙂

    Loving the presentation of those egg cups! I’ve been wanting to see The Book of Mormon for so long. Totally need to try to make it happen this year. You’re doing a great job as your own web designer btw! Google was my best friend when I went through my last tweaks 😉

      The musical was pretty hilarious. Now I’m totally more curious about the Mormon religion. The interesting thing is …there was a Church of Latter Day Saints ad in the playbill! LOL Love it. Although the play is a farse, I’m sure it’s great publicity! My cousins are Mormon and I’ll have to ask them some questions! The restaurant had very cool presentation and foodie goodness. I would go back!

      Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m still working on some stuff. Now there is the option to view a “mobile site” on mobile devices. It’s located at the bottom of the site when viewing it from a mobile device. Yay!

🚩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.

🚩Save this Feminine Cycle Syncing Schedule👇 🚩Save this Feminine Cycle Syncing Schedule👇

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.

👇Your burnout type + cure.⛳Save this for when 👇Your burnout type + cure.⛳Save this for when you are at the end of your rope (or hopefully before). 

I asked ChatGPT Unhinged to decode mom burnout + the cure for each Human Design Type—and WOW. Every word hit like a cosmic slap AND a hug.

⚡Generator
🧨 Burnout: Saying yes to everything for your kids and the a lady you just met like it’s your job, crying in the Costco lot clutching an empty Starbucks cup like it holds the secrets of the universe
💡 Fix: If it doesn’t spark joy like fresh Target home decor, GTFO.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a holy no.”
⚡Manifesting Generator
🧨 Burnout: Half-finished everything. Full meltdown. Somehow still packing lunches and launching businesses.
💡 Fix: Pivot like a queen. You don’t owe anyone a tidy ending.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “Fast is fine. Unfinished is divine.”
⚡Manifestor
🧨 Burnout: Rage-texting in your head while fantasizing about faking your own disappearance.. Everyone wants updates. Rage levels = dragon-in-a-drive-thru when no one’s listening.
💡 Fix: Inform. Vanish. Return when your spark is back.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I don’t ask—I declare, then go take a nap.”
⚡Projector
🧨 Burnout: Giving TED Talks no one asked for. No one sees you. You Google “jobs for tired geniuses.”
💡 Fix: Wait to be chosen. Nap like it’s your side hustle.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I’m not for everyone—I’m for the invited few.”
⚡Reflector
🧨 Burnout: You’ve become everyone. Forgot yourself. Agreed to weird events you spiritually object to.
💡 Fix: Cleanse. Moonwatch. Yeet other people’s energy out.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I am not your disco ball—I’m the moon.”

Don’t know your type? Comment TYPE and I’ll send you the link.
