There have been a few leaps in my personal growth and some realizations that have really helped bring me back to feeling like myself again.

Confessions Of A Wannabe Plant Lady
I started my new found love of plants with some seeds, potting soil and seed starters. No instructions (despite people giving advice and resources), because I’m just not one for studying for hours on end before beginning the project. More of a learn as I go type of person.
I’m about 2 months in, probably 50-60% of the initial plants have died…turns out forgetting to water said plants usually results in plant death…who knew right?

The Mom Bod
So, you go 9 months carrying this tiny human and finally you give birth! Wonderful right? It is, however, no one really warns you about the “Mom Bod” you are now going to be rocking in one form or another!

Bullet Journal Review
So I’m still trying to fully figure out what type of planner (or lack thereof) works best for me and my life.
