A few of my favorite things...

I'm an early riser by choice, but my alarm clock definitely plays a supporting role. I cherish my morning routine – it's my time to set the tone for the day ahead. Oh, and I have a major sweet tooth – a mint chocolate chip waffle cone is my weakness! I live for my self-care routines. I see self-care a bit differently. Self-care is about consistency, not grand spa days. It's the little things we do each day that make the biggest difference in our well being.

Motherhood has a profound way of making us reflect on our own journeys. As I watch my daughter grow, I can't help but think back to my younger self – a girl often filled with self-doubt and zero confidence. Now, I see those struggles as part of a larger plan. I believe I walked that path so I could be the woman I am today, equipped to guide my daughter and others on their own paths.

It's my mission to give you tips and tools to encourage, connect and build self-confidence within yourself and your daughter. It's our turn as moms to light a path for them so that we can give them the tools they need to feel more confident in themselves and to live their best lives. 

So I hope you'll join me so we can become friends, cheerleaders, and inspiration for each other and our kids.
