It was new year's day 2017, and after our big breakfast with our little family, my husband and I got talking about our hopes and dreams for the year. This was THE conversation that inspired me to turn my love for brush lettering into custom art prints. Within days I'd set up a new Instagram account to share my work. What I hadn't expected was the anxiety that became my daily companion. I felt inadequate and insecure about myself and my artwork, and spent more time comparing myself to others, than I...

--- Letting go can be exciting because it allows you to breathe again. It lets you invite into your life what you've not had the time, energy or mental/emotional capacity for. Do any of these sound familiar? 1. personal/professional relationships that gives you anxiety by day, and insomnia by night 2. physical clutter that fills you with dread each time you walk past it 3. to-do list items you keep pushing to the next day/week/month/year (me!) 4. a growing list of podcasts/online courses/books you must listen/watch/read (also kinda me..) 5. the expectation you put on yourself to do...

Would it be easier to just leave self care off your to-do list? Whether you have minis (kiddos) or not, feeling short of time is the most common challenge when it comes to self care. (Hint: my previous post has super simple self care ideas you can try) So...

I asked my husband how he’d describe what I value most, to someone who'd never met me. He paused. It was a long pause. Luckily we are way past the awkward silences stage. He said holding onto special moments is really important to me, and I do whatever I can to capture those memories. I showed him the notes from when I brainstormed what's important to me. Some of my WHY's. Gosh, he knows me well. I wrote: "Sentimental. I don't want to forget all the magical moments. I want to hold onto them...

We were emptying the dishwasher together the other morning, and I can't even remember what we were talking about, but I must have said something negative about myself when Mr 9 says, "Mama, you're always dissing yourself." So, yeah. I didn't really know how to respond and mumbled a "Yeah, I guess I do. I really shouldn't do that hey?" How did this kid get so wise!? He's been quietly watching. Taking it in. And then he calls me on it. Straight up. I mean, seriously, what type of example am I...

I created these MORE Self Love Intention Cards because I know first hand how being kinder to myself can absolutely 100% transform, heal and bring a joy that comes from within. I wanted to make something that would help others find more self love in their every day. When you sift through the cards to choose what you want to focus on for the day (week..month..), you are taking the first step to prioritising yourself. How awesome is that!? Intuitively, you already know what you need MORE of, whether it’s to breathe...
