Some of you have lost friends over time, or had mom friends that you chatted with at drop off and pick up, but maybe it didn't go anywhere. Some of you were just so focused on mom and wife life that the girlfriend life kind of went to the way side.  There's a lot that can happen to us along the way, as life takes on many different shapes.

How to Smash Your Goals Like the Queen You Are (With a Latte in Hand, Of Course) Hey, gorgeous! ✨ You know that feeling when you’re staring at your to-do list like it’s written in hieroglyphics? (Just me?) Or when your goals seem so far away, they might as well be hanging out on the moon? 🌙 I’ve been there, girl! But let me tell you, with a game plan, a dash of sass, and maybe an extra-large latte, you’ll be crossing off that list faster than a kid running to the ice cream truck. 🍦 Let me share a little story with you. Once upon a time (because all good stories start like that, right?), I decided it was time to do life BIG . I was juggling a million things—work, family, trying to figure out what in the world “fermentation” means on my new kombucha kit (still confused)—when I wrote my dream down on a sticky note. “Girl, you’ve got dreams.
