Welcome Summer!

 


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 helps to make you feel so good when you're basking in it. 

This summer is also the last summer in my 40's. How bizarre is that? To think that I will be 50 in September? I am excited to see this new decade. I have a lot of amazing things to look forward to! Summer time in Kansas City always brings so many wonderful festivals, activities and the city is full of life! 

While it's all wonderful, this KC Girl loves her fall. I wouldn't change any of it though. As much as summer is not my favorite, it does lead us into fall! I don't think I can survive without all 4 seasons.

Tell me about your favorite season in the comments! Do you love summer? Have you set new intentions with the summer solstice? 

In your corner and rooing for you,
Your bestie~

The ALMOST end to Summer!

 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. The...

Community and Friendship

  One of the topics I get so many questions on is, friendships in later life.  There's a lot of you that reach out and are not really sure what to do. 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. Growth, moving, some of us even just lose ourselves somewhere along the way, and it's a matter of stepping back and getting yourself back. I think I have been every one of these women along my journey.  I thought I'd share a few tips and tricks to help you find your tribe!  1. Start by Revisiting Your Passions Finding friends with shared interests is key. Whether you’re into yoga, knitting, painting, or 80s rock concerts, there’s a community out there! Re-engaging with hobbies is...

September got me feelin' all kinds of ways

Hello, September! Welcoming Fall, Fun, and Feelings 🌻🍁 Can you believe it's already September?  We have a wild and crazy September here at the MacLean house!  For me, it’s not just the start of fall but also the month I turn 50! (Cue the confetti! 🎉) I’m so excited about all the fun things we have planned—pumpkin patches, cozy sweater weather, and warm apple cider. It's that magical time of year when the air gets crisper, and the leaves start to turn those beautiful shades of red and gold. 🍂 We took an adventure to Branson last weekend! That was so much fun! With my 50th upon me later this month, my kiddos surprised me by taking us all to one of our favorite locations! We have not been to Branson as a family for way too long!  We had so much fun!  Back home for now and this next week we will head to California. I’d be lying if I didn’t say this September also feels a little bittersweet. We’re still processing the loss of my father-in-law, and it’s a reminder that...
