Hey Besties! Welcome to another blog~How are you? No, really. How are you? It's not fall yet, but back to school does mark the unofficial end of summer. Some of you really never get off schedules during the summer and so you slide into back to school with ease. You, my friends, are those I look up to! You are a Goddess of schedules and routines and I envy you. The others of us? Well, we race around like a wild animal and the house and kids are all in chaos. Not a very productive way to hit back to school, but, that was my norm for a long time. I would just get so lax with the kiddos during summer, kind of giving us all a break, but goodness that never went well when it came time for all things back to school.  Even you Goddesses can have a hard time, if you're not taking care of you as well. Even the best, most organized mamas can feel crazed on the inside, even if you don't look it on the outside, you gorgeous little goddess you!  Getting back into the school routine can b

Hey there, beautiful souls! 🌟 Carri The Bubbly Boss Babe here again! :)  We are back from the weekend getaway and let me just tell you how wonderful it was for this mama's heart! Super amazing to have all the kiddos under the same roof for an ENTIRE weekend!  We had so much fun, got to see an amazing concert....and let me add, if you enjoy Creed and 3Doors Down, do yourself the favor of seeing them in concert! WOW! Totally blown away. Ok let me move on!!!  Are you ready for me to get juicy? Are you ready to dive into a topic that’s close to my heart—mindset? If you’ve ever wondered why some days feel like you’re on top of the world and others feel like you’re trudging through mud, the answer might be in the way you’re thinking.  Let’s explore how your mindset can make or break your day, and I’ll share some actionable tips to help you harness the power of a positive mindset! The Foundation of Your Day: Mindset Matters Mindset isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the foundation of how we exp

 Hey Bestie, Welcome Back!  Yes, antother hiatus taken. Totally unplanned and I vow to get better at showing up here for you!  So what gives this time? So much.  I typically sit down to write to you on the weekends. Well, there has been a lot happening and the weekends ended up being either a blur or a total veg time with literally scrolling aimlessly on socials or just in front the tv. It started with mom. She had a toenail that seemed to be maybe in grown. She tried to cut it out herself. It then got inflammed and then there was a small section that turned black. SO scary.  Well, she's also kind of stubborn. I tried to first get her to go to a podiatrist. She thought that maybe there was a piece still in there that she didn't quite get out. Well, she also has neuropathy and touching her feet is painful. So it went untreated. I then suggested that maybe we just have the people that do her nails try and pull it out. Finally that suggestion seemed a good one. They did so and it

  Hey Besties! It's been a bit since I've written a post. Things have been kind of wild in my world.  Lots of craziness happening and my mom had quite a health scare as well.  SO here I am and moving along with good intentions!  It's summer! We had the Summer Solstice, the Strawberry Moon and we are going through the seasonal changes. I am not a summer girl. Well. A little. I love the lake, boating, kayaking, things like that, but I do not like to be hot. Fall is where it's at for me! Summer is also different when you don't have kiddos out of school and planning family vacations. Where are my empty nesters at? It's such a wild feeling, even though my kiddos have been grown up for several years. Does it ever get easier? Do you get used to them being grown up? It's such a weird time, but also a great time! It's awesome to watch your kids grow!  Summer brings on so many amazing things! The sun, even when it's hot, brings the warmth of vitamin D and help

Hey Besties, Welcome! I have been sharing lots of helpful tips in the blogs, but I also want this to be a space where you get a little sneak peek at what's going on in my world too. Why? Well, I feel that sharing things that go on with me, will connect with someone else that will realize you're not alone. Good or bad.  So, what's going on currently? Well, this weekend, not much of anything! We have been running and gunning for a few weeks and just kind of laid low this weekend. We did a few things and got some things for the house, but not much this week. I'm listening to Spotify and have it on Energetic Happy Mix. Yep. Guess what. I too have to work on my mindset, mood, generate happiness from a good tune and run with it. Nope. I do not have it all together. I just have honed some skills to help you as well, but let me tell you, it's a daily task. I have one of those brains that will betray me. I will run down a rabbit hole of bull shit if I don't watch it.  Th

Hey Babes! I've been gone for a bit because I was trying to figure out how to freaking add comments to this thing!  I didn't want to keep creating content that you can't interact with, and I was kind of bummed the first few posts didn't have comments!  So, here we are. Back again!  Really what I wanted to say in this post is that you can do THE THING! Whatever it is you've got your heart set on, you can do and accomplish!  When I started this journey of wanting to have more of an online presence, I had never, in the history of ever, had any idea how to create a website. But I was determined. So I hopped in and just started clicking around and figured it out! I used to say that I was stuck in nineteen dickety two when it came to electronics. My limit? Myself. I had this limiting belief that electronics were hard and that I just couldn't do it. Sound familiar?  You can! You are not too old, too set in your ways, too, whatever you keep telling yourself! If I can do
