September is Self Care Awareness Month. So often self care sounds like another line item on my already overloaded to do list. Frankly, I can get resentful at the very suggestion of self care, isn’t there too much on my plate already? At the same time, I know that when my own needs aren’t a…
Success comes in many shapes and forms, and it certainly doesn’t happen overnight. But behind every successful woman are financial habits that keep her on track and keep her financially savvy.

Whether you were the instigator or on the receiving end, facing a divorce can be incredibly scary. Your life is about to change in ways you didn’t even think and the person you have known yourself to be is no longer there. It’s full-on, it’s emotional and it is something that will change the trajectory…
Hey there Girls, It’s been a while since we’ve had a chat. I mean, not that we chat often. We used to, back in the teenage days. I used to beg you to stop growing so fast. Actually, now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure that was pre-teen. I remember strapping you down…

But there are some things I pretend to do, usually to just make life easier or simply because I couldn’t be bothered explaining things. Sometimes it’s because I just want two seconds…

Recently, we’ve been hanging out with some couples from our neighborhood and I LOVE IT! A couple of weeks ago, after a particularly fun evening, my hubby turned to me and asked me if I felt guilty about my new friends. Funny how he nailed it.
