Have you wanted to take the next step in your personal development?
What would it feel like to be part of a group of women lifting each other up? With women growing together, looking deep in their soul and recognizing that they were the one all along.
The ONE that was responsible and capable of changing their own lives, and making their dreams come true.
How many of us have ever waited for something outside of ourselves to solve our problems? Wishing for the lottery win, finding a boyfriend/husband or even waiting and wishing for that big promotion at work (someone else’s dream company).
It’s time to be the one you have been waiting for. I am deciding to rescue myself and change my own reality from within.
We are going to read life changing books together. LIfechanging because we do it together and cheer each other’s growth and journey on.
That’s where the power is…hearing other women’s stories and seeing them create their own reality right in front of our eyes. It gives us the power of hope and a sense of knowing that we are all powerful in our own lives.
There will be books that you probably have read before, but dig in and read them again. There will be something that stands out now, at this point in your life, something new.
Feel into it.
As you read, keep a journal or notebook handy to write down any aha moments. Or if you are a rebel, write in the book….aaaahhhhh.
The book club is in the Facebook group linked below. It is a safe place where women can stand in their true selves and grow!
And if you are new to my world, welcome!! I am so glad we connected, and can cheer each other on in life!

Oh boy, time is flying by. I can’t believe that Easter is so close. I am already planning and prepping for our celebration at home.
My family will enjoy the traditional meal for dinner. What does traditional look like at my house?!? Well, it looks like ham, cheesy potatoes and green beans. Probably with jellied cranberry sauce for dessert… well, I will have cheesy potatoes for dessert, yummy!!
Then we will spend the rest of the day hanging out & watching movies or playing games. If it’s nice outside, we might even go for a walk after lunch, you know, to help the food digest.
It’s what you’ve gotta do after eating a feast!
Then I can reflect on the new growth and celebrate spring as I savor family time!
Oh, and if you need more ideas for Easter baskets, look no further, I’ve got you covered.
For Kids:
- As a mom & auntie, non-toxic products are such a relief, and beeswax crayons fit the bill. You won’t need to feel guilty when letting the littles in your life use them.
- Stuffies, well they are a must when filling an easter basket. And a reversible stuffy is sure to be a hit.
- A great idea to keep your littles off of electronics is this cool sticker by number book. It is ocean themed, so cool!
- Want to spend a fun afternoon outside, check out these cool footballs. They whistle and howl when you throw them. They are sure to make everyone smile.
For Teens:
- Art and creativity are blooming in the spring. Check out these art products, your teen will get swept up in sketching and creating masterpieces!
- And for your sports lover, here is a nerf football that you can toss around in the yard (or the house, hehe).
For Adults:
- When you are doing your family time, music makes it a party. Check out these mini speakers to easily bring with you wherever you go!
- Oh, and you might get thirsty on your adventures, so a Yeti mug is a great option. Plus, this one fits in your cup holder. WIN!!
- After a long day of FUN, you might just be in the mood to take a hot shower. These shower steamers will be just a bit EXTRA!! YASSSSS!
For Harry Potter Superfans!!
- OK…this is really the best thing that I found. It is for the superfan of Harry Potter. It is a Golden Snitch, well really it is a spinner, but you will be the coolest kid or coworker if you show up with it.
And if you are new to my world, welcome!! I am so glad we connected, and can cheer each other on in life!

Can you believe that Easter is just a few short weeks away? I know, this year has just flown by.
If you are like me, and you live in a snowy part of the country, well, it seems that winter is here for a little bit longer. Even so, spring seems to peek its head out every now and then to remind us that a new season is coming.
That is what Easter means to me, a new season and new beginnings coming my way. I am ready for spring, and the new growth that we find with the longer, warmer days.
Growing up, Easter was always a time to spend with family and celebrate the change of seasons. We did egg hunts, had Easter baskets, laughed a lot and celebrated those first green patches that were poking through from underneath the melted snow.
Our Easter baskets were soft and full of pastel colors. Filled with a few sweet treats and a special goodie that we could use as the weather got warmer. Once I got a Skip-it, and it was the coolest thing ever. Probably, my favorite Easter gift was a CD. I still have it in my collection, but I also have a vinyl version, because everything sounds better on vinyl…just sayin’!!
If you are thinking of putting together a cool and memorable Easter basket, I found a few WINS for you to check out!!
For Kids:
- An adorable bunny bath towel, that you can wrap your little one up in, there are five colors to choose from.
- Two fun books, one board book about Easter Eggs and another book about how to catch the Easter Bunny!
For Teens:
- Wireless headphones, so your teen can listen to music wherever they are.
- Want a card game that your kids will love?!? It’s a great way to trick them into some family bonding.
For Adults:
- A water painting board to help you get into a zen moment. I have one of these, and it is super relaxing.
Check out part 2 for even more ideas on how to make memories with your family on Easter Sunday!!

Something happened to me in the past couple of weeks that taught me a valuable lesson.
I was in a masterclass online. It was about women, and finding your true authentic self & feeling into the energetics of womanhood. It was amazing, and I found myself wanting to connect with others from the group.
So I did.
My first connections got me a lot of “hey, girl, hey” and “buy my stuff, buy my stuff, buy my stuff” energies.
I was not into that.
It felt ICKY!
I set some boundaries and blocked some women. I knew I needed to do this in order to let in authentic relationships.
Only, the authentic relationships were not coming. I was not feeling it.
So I did something out of my comfort zone. Something that I had a nudge to do, but was putting it off in order to let the feeling pass, and stay where it was safe (not good, not great, but familiar & “safe”).
I wrote a post about connection online. It was scary & vulnerable, and I posted it anyway. I didn’t think about it, I just hit post.
And you know what, other women were feeling the same thing. They wanted real connections, authentic connections from women who would lift them up, and not be around only for a sale. But instead women who were here to change the world with greatness and supportiveness.
I found the connections that I desired by sharing my true self and being vulnerable to listen to that little voice inside. The voice of intuition tends to guide me in the right direction.
So glad I listened.
And if you are new to my world, welcome!! I am so glad we connected, and can cheer each other on in life!

My family is the most important thing in my life. I love them, and I want only the best for them. And that means, whenever I can, I want to give them a non-toxic option.
Now, my kids are teenagers, and using non-toxic products can be so “uncool” and they don’t always like to do so, unless mom is there watching. The same thing with my husband. Being busy and having things be convenient is probably their number one priority.
I say, we can have both!!
I know that for my family, in order for everyone to use the non-toxic products they need to be convenient.
And sometimes convenient means that I replace a product with something that they use on a regular basis. Well, that’s just what I did with my laundry detergent. I made my own. One that smells great and works great, too.
I used only a couple of products, and it took almost no time to do it. Which is the best part!!
You will need a glass dispenser. Glass is best, because this recipe does have ingredients that have essential oils in it. And glass does not leak harmful contaminants into the liquids inside.
Here is the recipe for 1 gallon jar.
1 gallon of distilled or reverse osmosis water
¼ cup of Young Living Laundry Detergent
⅛ cup or 2 Tbsp of Thieves Household Cleaner
½ cup washing soda
5-7 drops of Young Living essential oils of choice (I like to use oils like Thieves, Purification & Lavender)
- Heat approximately 4 cups of the one gallon of water.
- Put ½ coup of the washing soda in your jar. Use the warmed water and dissolve it completely before adding other ingredients.
- Add ¼ cup of Young Living Laundry Detergent
- Add ⅛ cup (2 Tbsp) of Young Living Thieves Cleaner
- Add 5-7 drops of Young Living Essential Oils to give your laundry detergent a boost.
- I like to use different combinations such as 3 drops of Thieves and 2 drops of Purification or 3 drops of Thieves and 3 drops of Lavender. You can use the oils that you gravitate towards.
- Stir all ingredients together using the warm water, and add the remaining water from your gallon to fill your dispenser.
- I like to keep a wooden spoon nearby to stir it before use. Sometimes the ingredients will settle a bit on the bottom, but they stir up nicely.
If you need any Young Living products, reach out to me and I can get you all set. If not, no biggie.
