Off Duty

Sadie takes over the podcast today with something that we all truly need to do (currently doing that now, thank you Sadie) and that is to just hit the pause button.  Take a day, a few days, or whatever you need to relax, unwind, and regenerate to truly 4.0 your life.  We are so used to that go go mentality and sure it feels great to always be on the move doing exciting things, but what h...

Lets Get Political, Political.  I really don't want to get Political... (did you think about the song Lets Get Physical?) I mean I did...but that is what today is all about as we venture almost into another month and still finding our ways into the political darkness of social media.  Me, not getting too into it because well, personal beliefs are important, but not in the way that some o...

One day I woke up and started a blog.  I also started singing at open mic nights, large crowd events, and even at 5'4, modeling.  No one handed me anything with regards to these opportunities, I just figured I wanted to 4.0 my life to the fullest and never look back.  So what if I never tried?  What if I just gave up and said it was too hard?  What if it actually worked? L...

Round 2 for me and still shocking to hear some of the things people are saying and writing on social media to pregnant folks.  Makes you wonder if there is some sass behind it, or they truly just need a mute button because they share a little too much.  So with that being said, I have compiled a few things to refresh your memory and make you say hmmmm, as yes, people really say these thi...
