As I’ve gotten older and my interests have expanded, I find it even more difficult to unwind at night. So here’s to finding a happy medium! Follow these tips for a night of better sleep.

This is an update to a post from 2018. I didn’t realize that I had previously covered this topic until I searched the archives. In the past couple of years, I have learned a few more tips on the topic of sleep and wanted to expand upon the previous post.

You know that person that nods off in the middle of a meeting? Yep, that’s me! I didn’t even realize it until my co-worker mentioned it in passing. I was mortified and knew that my late-night tendencies were starting to take a toll. It’s just so hard to unwind from the hustle and bustle of a busy day!

2019 Book Recommendations

February 11, 2020

I'm super excited about this post, but I wish I had kept an ongoing log of my 2019 book recommendations as I read them instead of trying to recall them now. One of my goals from 2019 was to get back into reading, along with watching less tv. 🙂 Fortunately, I was able to read 11 books. Unfortunately, I didn’t reduce my screen time. In fact, my dedicated Netflix hours quadrupled during Fall 2019. So there’s that!

I’m super excited about this post, but I wish I had kept an ongoing log of my 2019 book recommendations as I read them instead of trying to recall them now. I’ll remember to do that next time.

It’s a new year and a new decade! Can you believe it?! How are we already done with January? It feels like a whirlwind.

Back in September, I got super sick during a vacation to Boise, Idaho and I haven’t been 100% since. During Christmas, I also came down with a cold and then once January got here I got the flu. During that time, I fell completely off social media. I was posting pretty good there for a while but after a busy quarter 4 with my business and getting the flu, it kinda went downhill. Needless to say, I am ready to kick this cold in the butt and get back to a healthy lifestyle.
