First Things First!

Whew, deep breaths over here! I have been contemplating and saying I wanted to start a blog for years. I start and I stop and then chicken out. This time I am hitting publish and hoping for the best.

A little about the reason I wanted to start this blog. When I became a Mom I somehow forgot about the things that made me happy, I focused all of my energy on my kids and husband and sank a little bit further into a hole of depression. One day I found an opportunity that allowed me to dress up, to feel pulled together and things started to change. I stopped feeling like a last priority and was focusing on myself.

The goal, my main goal is for Moms ANY Mom to find this space and learn a little about how to dress their bodies and find their style. I want Moms to know that if you are drawn to Athleisure or vintage or full blown glam your style and the expression of yourself is worth exploring and putting out there.

Some things you will find as blog posts:

  1. Styling your body type
  2. Canadian made fashion and shops
  3. Kids fashion
  4. Makeup Essentials
  5. Uplifting style encouragement
  6. General Lifestyle of a busy Mom
  7. Featured fashionable Moms

I want to inspire you to find what makes you happy, and as I always say Fashion is what you buy; style is how you wear it! Please Come along and leave me a comment on anything you would like to see.

It is OK to say No when someone asks if you are OK It is OK to say No when someone asks if you are OK.

It is OK for your answer to be ‘Im just hanging in here’ when someone asks how things are going. 
It is OK to say ‘I can’t, I am at my limit’ when someone asks you to do something you just can’t handle right now. 
Those listening to those words: 
It is OK to not know how to respond just do so with kindness. 
It is OK to offer yourself as company or helping hands, do so with concrete suggestions. 
It is OK to tell them you will circle back to them at another time if they like, exclusion isn’t the answer. 
As someone with Major Depression and Generalized Anxiety, I spend an immense amount of my time censoring my thoughts and feelings to not make discomfort to others. It is time to speak the truth of my truth, and let’s openly listen to others.
I had a comment the other day when I shared my pos I had a comment the other day when I shared my post workout selfie that working out 6-7 days a week feels unattainable. This is never my intention so I laid out exactly what I mean when I post that my workout is complete. Fitness has been the biggest change I made in 2019 literally starting on January 1st it is a part of my daily routine because of these reasons....and many more.
