What's On My Nighstand

Happy day this and thatters!!  I hope your week is starting out right!  I've been reading up a storm lately and loving it.  Here are a few of my favorites!

1.  Pretty Happy by Kate Hudson

 I love, love this book!  It is such a fun and (yes you guessed it ) happy book.  She has great tips and real advice about happiness that I love.






2.  I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn't) by Brene Brown

 This book is/was life changing for me!  If you've never heard of Brene Brown before she is a shame researcher and to say her work/research is groundbreaking would be an understatement.  This has been a real quick read for me because I'm enjoying it so much!  



3.  Spirit Junkie By Gabrielle Bernstein

 This is a book I have read before and am now reading again that's how good it is.  For me it is a practical guide to spirituality, understanding fear and love.  This is a super quick read as well with lots of practical advice.

I Never Meant to be a Teacher

I want to start out by saying I feel a massive amount of love, respect and honor for all of those individuals who are teachers.  I truly feel like you are the unsung heroes of our world and don't get near enough credit (or pay).   I entertained the idea of being a teacher for about 15 minutes in elementary school and realized even then I didn't have the patience.  My stuffed animals weren't cooperating with the ABC's lesson I put together and I lost interest pretty quickly.   I really didn't give it much thought again until I had kids.  I got a lot of anxiety after having my first child and a massive amount after having my second.  As I did some soul searching about the anxiety I realized it was because of the terrifying thought that I am their most important teacher.  You see all those little sayings and signs about moms/parents being the most important teacher, just be being.   All I can say to that is JESUS TAKE T...

What I Wear To Work

Hello lovely ladies (and gents if you read this)!  I hope you and yours are having a fantastic day.   I know that getting dressed for work can sometimes be a chore.  You throw on the same thing over and over because you're exhausted, it's dark outside and you're exhausted :)   I like getting dressed for work (no surprise there).  It gives me an opportunity to wear items in my closet differently because you know my rule if I'm buying it I gotta be able to wear it at work, at church and on the weekends.   Here are some of my favorite things to wear to work.  They are my tried and true and never disappoint! xoxo 1.  J.Crew Pixie Pant I'm dying over these amazing pants from J.Crew!!  I compare them to leggings but they are so much more.  They are super comfy, but provide structure (and sucking in) where you need it.  You can throw them on with a cute top and jacket and head out the door. ...

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started c...
