I have allowed myself to dream big audacious dreams, and I have dared to believe that they would come true, and they have. The combination of lots of big things happening all at once can be a bit overwhelming at times.

I totally stole this from a meme, but it’s so perfectly accurate so I had to steal it for the title. This is my life mantra. When something doesn’t go your way, when you try and fail, just say “yikes” and move on. Simply put, we care too much.

This week I went into Monday pretty stressed. Even though I followed my own, “Fighting Sunday Scaries” guidelines, Monday morning still got me good. I knew at that moment, as the panic was rising in my chest, that I had to make a drastic change, or I would be fighting an uphill battle all week long.

This past weekend we went to Maine for our “babymoon”.For the expecting mamas out there, I would highly recommend doing a little weekend getaway with your husband before that beautiful babe arrives. We kept it short, simple, relaxing, and beautiful, and it was exactly what my heart and soul needed.

When the seasons change, the bathing-suits get packed away, and the kids head back to school it always brings me back to that “new school year feeling”. When I went to a Tony Robbin’s Conference, it was the first time I heard the saying, “If you aren’t growing, then you are dying”. He taught us that life isn’t about the end destination, but all the goodness in between.

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen the announcement that Dan and I are expecting a baby boy come February of 2021! All along I knew I was having a boy. This blog is a reminder to trust your gut and follow your heart.

July was an insane month for me but I learned a lot from it. Let me paint a picture for you.

So guys… big announcement here... WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! =D I wanted to share with you this journey just so you could see how similar buying a house is to searching for the perfect candidate for a job.
