Oh Two-dles!

And just like that, my sweet girls are two years old! And while it's been a month since we celebrated, I can't help but still struggle to wrap my head around the fact that you are no longer "babies". Of course, I always tell you that you'll be my babies forever and ever, but you really are transforming each and everyday into little individuals. You now have opinions. You can physically tell me through words what you want and need. You're potty training! How did this happen? 
For a Party Planning Momma, it's all in the details!


Let's relive your special birthday party! We kept it small and intimate this year, so that you were surrounded by those who you are closest too. It was absolutely perfect! There were a few people missing that we wish could've joined us, but you are without a doubt so loved! 



 Because your current obsession is Mickey and Minnie Mouse, it was a given that we would choose that theme for your party! So we gave you your own "Mousekeday"! 


Everyone enjoyed a little Zehnle Twins Trivia game where they were given a chance to get to know you as individuals by guessing who's who! We listened to some of your favorite songs and enjoyed a beautiful park day, complete with fun, family, friends and little cake too! 


 You received some wonderful gifts, many in Minnie Mouse theme! 
We are so grateful to those who joined us at South Park on the perfectly sunny, fall day! We look forward to celebrating your milestones to come, but not too quickly of course. Stay little for as long as you can!

No One Prepared Me for This

This is the part of motherhood that I feel no one prepared me for. Perhaps you can't really be prepared at all. I didn't think it would happen as quickly as it did.  I'm talking about the day you wake up and your firstborn child is looking you in the eye and well on the way to surpassing your height. Can we not?  Seriously!  Sending Rhylan to middle school last year was a very tough concept to grasp. I've come to terms with being the mother of a middle schooler. I mean...what choice do I have? In doing so, I've had a front row seat to extraordinary growth (and I'm not just talking about physically). I've watched him overcome so much. Whether it was constant encounters with a bully (no one prepares you for that either), watching him navigate tough decisions, strengthening his sportsmanship or taking accountability... I'm constantly amazed by him. Last year was fifth grade. He seemed like a baby walking into that giant middle school. We're currently im...

You, My Friend, Matter.

Are you someone who has put herself on the back burner? Maybe you're like me and you've neglected your healthcare needs for years? Today is the day that you make a change. Okay? Say it with me.  I matter. My health and well-being matters. How did that feel? Was it hard to say? Did it leave you with a pit in your stomach? That pit in your stomach is your body's way of telling you that you need to make a change. I decided that a new year was the perfect time to push myself to make an appointment and take the first steps toward medical wellness. Self-care is a topic that we hear about almost daily. We're told to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others. Make time to rest. Eat well. Exercise. Have a good skincare routine. Declutter our spaces. Listen to our bodies. Meditate. Be mindful. The list goes on and on....and while I have mastered many of those things, I also realize that medical wellness also fits into the equation (whether I want to admit it or no...

What I Learned from Frugal January

While I don't believe in new year resolutions, I do believe in goals, aspirations and dreams. As a society, we're made to feel that with each new year, we must make resolutions, which more often than not, fade by March or set us up for failure. The feeling of failure is never good for the spirit, so a couple of years ago, I decided to stop giving in to that societal pressure. I have found that self-reflection is an excellent place to begin a new year and set realistic goals. This year, I started by challenging myself to what I named Frugal January. It's exactly what it sounds like. I challenged myself to only spend on necessities. I gave up runs to the coffee shop and trips to TJ Maxx. I gave up frivolous, careless and impulse-based spending, no matter how big or small it was. I asked myself one question with every single purchase decision, "do I really need this?" If I could live without it, I declined it. Did this cause me physical pain at times? Yes! There were...
