Maybe you don’t need a different life. Maybe you just need to notice the one you have.

It’s really easy to see what’s annoying, inconvenient or demanding our attention. I do it too.

But I’m trying to get better at catching myself when I go there and asking: What else is true?

The dishes are annoying AND they mean we had food on our table.

Being needed can be exhausting AND what a gift to have people who still need and want me in their lives.

Both things can be true.

This isn’t about pretending the hard or annoying parts aren’t hard or annoying. It’s about not letting them become the only thing I see.

Because sometimes the difference between “Ugh, my life is so full” and “Wow, my life is so full”…

is perspective. ❤️

One day, your family will look for you in these pictures. Make sure you’re there.

I know why you’re hiding. I did it too.

Stand behind one of the kids. Take the picture instead. Delete the one you hate. Promise yourself you’ll get in more photos when you lose the weight or feel better about how you look.

But here’s what I couldn’t see then: The photo I was judging was becoming the memory I would treasure.

Years later, I don’t look at those pictures and see all the things I thought were wrong with me.

I see how little my girls were. I see Doug and me younger. I see the places we went, the things we celebrated, the ordinary Tuesday that I had no idea I’d someday miss.

I see people I love exactly as they were in that moment. And I want to see ME there too.

So yes, take care of yourself. Learn what your body needs. Make whatever changes feel right for you.

But please don’t make being in the picture something you have to earn by looking different first.

Your life is happening now. Hand someone else the camera. Stand in the front for once.

And get in the damn picture. ❤️

Save this for the next time you’re tempted to hide and send it to the woman you love who’s always taking the pictures but never in them.

Maybe dogs aren’t the inconvenient ones.

Maybe we’ve just forgotten how to stop.

They don’t care that you’re busy. They want the walk.

They don’t care about your to-do list. They want you to sit down beside them.

They somehow know when you’re sad, when you need a little extra loving... and obviously the EXACT moment you start recording something or need to take an important call and they need to bark. 😂

But I think dogs understand something about life better than we do. They’re ridiculously good at being delighted by ordinary things.

You came home? BEST DAY EVER.

A walk? You’d think they won the lottery.

Lying in the grass? Amazing.

Sitting beside someone they love? Enough.

Maybe we should all be a little more like our dogs.
Stop what we’re doing once in a while. Notice who’s beside us. Get ridiculously excited about the little things. And remember that an ordinary day can actually be a pretty great day. ❤️

Happy birthday Wrigley. Thanks for the reminder. 🐾

Dog people — what has your dog taught YOU about life?

What if that little voice in your head isn’t telling you that your life isn’t enough?

What if it’s telling you that you’re not done yet?

I spent a lot of years assuming I should be satisfied with where I was. And I WAS grateful.

But there was also this little niggling feeling that there was something else for me.

Turns out, there was.

And I’m pretty sure there still is. ◡̈

Maybe that’s the part I’ve finally learned to pay attention to.

So if you’ve had a thought, dream, idea or “maybe someday...” that keeps popping back into your head...

it’s worth paying attention to.

You don’t have to know exactly where it’s going. You don’t even have to have a plan yet. Just don’t keep dismissing it because you already have a good life.

I’m curious, what keeps popping back into YOUR head?❤️

08/31/2026

Ever work all day and still wonder what the heck you actually got done?

Yep. Me too.

I could have 20–30 things on my to-do list, get a ton done, and STILL end the day looking at everything I hadn’t checked off.

Since finding out I have ADHD at 58, so many little things like this are starting to make sense.

So I’m trying things differently.

I still have the giant master list (because apparently I will always have 400 things I want to do 😂), but they don’t all need to be on TODAY’S list. The live in my Todoist Todist app, so I won’t forget them and they don’t clutter my day. When another to do pops in my head ( which it always does), I just add it in the app and keep working. This also means I don’t have sticky notes everywhere.

Today’s list gets 3 things.

I’m also learning that I don’t have to start with the hardest, most boring thing just because someone decided that’s how we’re supposed to do it. Sometimes knocking off something quick or doing something I’m interested in first gets me going.

And if my day doesn’t go the way I planned it in my head? I’m getting much better at changing the plan instead of being annoyed with myself.

Still learning. Still figuring out what works for me.

But this one has been big:

Just because there are things left on my list doesn’t mean I didn’t do enough today. ❤️

Anyone else do this? Tell me in the comments, and send this to the friend whose to-do list is as ridiculous as yours. 😂

If you want your daughters to believe they can try something new, let them see you try something new.

If you want them to know they can change direction, let them see you change direction.

If you want them to take chances on themselves, let them see you take chances on yourself.

If you want them to know there is no age when they have to stop dreaming bigger, let them see you keep dreaming bigger.

If you want them to build lives they're proud of, let them see you build one too.

I spent a lot of years thinking being a good mom meant showing my girls how much I could do for them. I'm realising there's something pretty powerful about showing them what I'll do with my own life
too. ♥️

Because our kids aren't only watching how we love them. They're watching how we live.

What do you want yours to see?

08/28/2026

What exactly are you saving the good stuff for?

You bought the candle because you loved it…but don’t burn it. You have the beautiful glasses…but they’re for company. And your bath salts are waiting for a more important bath.

At some point I realized how ridiculous this was. I don’t need a special occasion to make an ordinary day a little nicer.

Burn the candle. Wear the perfume. Use the good glass. Pour in the bath salts. Not everything enjoyable needs to be saved, earned or justified.

This is your life. Use the good stuff! ♥️

Now tell me, what’s sitting in your house waiting for a “special occasion”?

Send this to the friend who needs permission to light the damn candle. 😂

Why does to day never feel special enough for the good stuff?

The candle you don’t burn. The bath salts you save. The perfume that feels too nice for an ordinary day.

I did it too. Then I started wondering... what exactly am I waiting for?

So now I light the candle while I work. Use the pretty glass. Pour in the bath salts. Put on the lipstick and perfume even when I have nowhere special to go.

Because you don’t need company coming, a reservation or a special occasion to enjoy the things you already have. You’re allowed to enjoy your life while you’re living it.

Being here is occasion enough. ❤️

What are you still saving for “someday”? Tell me in the comments—and send this to the friend who’s still waiting for the Queen to come over. 😂

You’re the one people call because they know you’ll say yes.

Need help? You’ll figure it out. Something needs organizing? You’ve got it. Someone dropped the ball? Somehow you’ll pick it up.

And because you’re capable, you’ve probably convinced yourself that you SHOULD.

I did too.

But there’s a cost to always being the reliable one. Your time, your energy and sometimes the people you most want to be present for get whatever is left.

I’m finally learning that I can be a generous person without being available to everyone.

I can help because I CHOOSE to—not because being capable makes it my responsibility.

Do I still occasionally feel guilty saying no? Yep. 😂

I just don’t let the guilt make the decision anymore.

If you’re the woman everyone can count on—but you’re learning to count yourself in too—I think you’ll like it here. ❤️
