15 years ago I committed my love to you in front of our closest friends and family.

“To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part” I chose you over and over again.

15 years, 2 amazing kids, 2 dog(s) and a lifetime of memories. There is no one I’d rather have by my side during all of this craziness, especially now.

Cheers! “Baby, the best is yet to come"

Happy 15th Anniversary, Joe!

I never knew how long my walking🚶🏻‍♀️streak would last. In fact I didn't even know I would have a walking streak when I first started the WalkFit App. And for the record (for those who asked) I walked 43 days straight. I braved the cold 🥶, wind 💨, light rain 🌧️ and even the heat 🥵 And you know what? I loved it! I looked forward to each walk daily. Every walk turned into my own therapy session. My body craved it! I loved listening to my music and signing along. All while hearing the sounds of nature and seeing signs of Spring. I never knew when my streak would end but knew it would end eventually. But then life threw my family a curve ball. And I literally needed to rest my body and mind. My calves have been on fire for weeks (I need to be better at stretching). So I took two days off (it was freezing out and pouring rain too). So I regrouped and mall walked 1.3 miles today for my 44th walk. It wasn't the same as being outside BUT man it felt good to walk again! It felt symbolic to finish my interval walk in front of Nordstrom (my old stomping grounds from my makeup 💄 artistry days). Tomorrow looks like rain again ☔️ so I'll have to figure out how I'll get my walk in. Looks like I'll need to invest in a walking pad. Anyone have good suggestions for walking pads? If you ever thought about starting something just do it! I don't know 🤷🏻‍♀️ why it took me so long to start this walking journey BUT I'm so happy 😀 I have 💪🏻

Today I completed the 28 Day Walking Challenge AND it felt great! If you asked me 28 days ago if I could walk 28 days in a row I would have thought you were crazy. I walked outside in the cold 🥶, the wind 💨and the sunshine ☀️I did it and you know what? I'm proud of myself because I decided to start something and stick to it. I love the WalkFit App and how it motivates me daily! My goal is to keep walking and who knows how long my streak will go. But I love the way I feel when I walk outside. It's been the best form exercise I've ever stuck with and I love how it clears my mind. I highly recommend it! Plus it's fun and free 😊

I recently received some news that encouraged me to take my health more seriously, so I did just that! I have walked outside with the help of my for 15 days in a row. So today I celebrated by walking outside at the Rio, one of my favorite places in MoCo to walk. I love this place! Mind you I've never worked out for 15 days in row. Maybe the last time I did was when I was training for a sport in high school which was over 25 years ago! So I'll continue to walk every day and I've incorporated weight training too. With the help of my friend Kate I've added weight training 3x a week and a well balanced meal plan too. Watch out 25 year high school reunion 😂

My friends and family use to make fun of me and laugh at the fact I that I dual minoring in Marketing and Women Studies. I’d shrug 🤷🏻‍♀️ it off and be proud that I took so many classes to make me a proud women feminist (if you would call it) to learn about Women’s rights and famous leaders that fought for our Women's rights.

My friend Kristen says is best, so I’ll just quote her. “I am thankful to be surrounded by women who challenge me, encourage me to “just do the thing”, who push me outside my comfort zone and who give me space to process and just be.

The level up isn’t about the hustle, it’s about connecting to the ❤️ of who you are. It’s not about a circle, it’s a horseshoe that is always open to welcome others.”

Happy International Women’s Day!!!

Let's just say it's been one hell of a week and tonight (I'm not sure how it happened) BUT I have the whole house to myself. I can't remember the last time this has happened. So I took an everything shower and took my time to get ready to go out. And man did that feel good! So tonight I'm going out with a girlfriend to celebrate 🎉 and catch up! Happy Saturday!

Eleven years ago my career in skincare launched when I posted this selfie 🤳 My former company served its purpose. I learned a lot the business but more importantly I learned a lot about myself. Today I may look a little different. I think I look pretty good for a 43 year old (excuse the messy hair). I'm proud of myself starting a business and stepping out of my comfort zone. It allowed me to meet some of my closet friends and experience some wonderful life experiences. I may be out of MLMs but the experience will always be with me and for that I'm grateful.

Sometimes I forget to love all the seasons of myself. I need to be better at showing
myself some grace and kindness. I also need to remember it's about progress (which I'm making) and NOT perfection. I felt glamorous in this dress Saturday night and wasn't going to post it but then decided to do it anyway! 'Tis the season.

Schools OUT for summer!! And we were the first people in drop off line today (that NEVER happens)!! It's been a great year! But I still can't believe next year my babies will be in Kindergarten and 4th grade! Have a great summer everyone!

Happy 9th Birthday, Max William! Thank you for giving me the best gift in the world making me a mom but more importantly making me YOUR mom! You my friend are amazing! You are going to do BIG things in this world and I couldn't be more proud of you! Have the best day ever! I love ❤️ you!

It may not be the Murph (that I've done in years past) BUT with all my injuries I have walking 1.52 miles before 9 am on a holiday Monday isn't too shabby! Especially that hill on Keenland Circle

Every Memorial Day weekend my parents visit our loved ones graves that have passed away. Today as I walked I remembered my family and friends I've lost. It was a good cathartic walk for the soul. A great way to start this Memorial Day off.
