Holiday break is upon us!

Happy Holidays!

I love my job, but I was counting down the hours to the holiday break today!

I've been trying to get so much done this week so I can take a genuine break next week!

As we enjoy the time at home for the holidays, my niece and nephew reminded me of how we like to spend time together and inspired this week's episode of the podcast.

If you already listened, these are the shelves my nephew helped me hang this weekend. He was a great helper and was pretty mesmerized by how I used a magnet to find the studs in the wall.

Let's ignore the randomness on that shelf of flowers and the cabinet... I was tired by the time we were done 😀 Do you spy the 1950s toys hiding in there?

Happy Thursday! This week went super far off the plan! I unexpectedly had 3 kids this weekend after their mom's car broke down. Plus I had the littlest one again last night. 3 kids ages 1-14, there was ZERO chance I would be recording the podcast this week. Sorry friend, but if you have a great question, hit reply and maybe it will be next week's episode!

Happy Thursday! I was chatting with a random, kind lady standing next to me on my break between clients last week. She made a comment about how cool my life sounds... but she doesn't know the full story. I said I had just gotten back from Portugal and that I'd been traveling to Europe a lot in recent years. But there is 90% of my life that is utterly boring! I take awesome vacations because in my real world: I work far too much Spend far too much time with my mom and my dog Almost never go...
