I've come a long way and homemaking is much easier now than it's ever been before (thank you routines) but I'm still a work in progress. In the spirit...

I have a pretty strict philosophy in my home: if it can be done at night rather than in the morning, I'm doing it.

I've always been what society would consider a "working mom" although my belief is that every mom is a working mom. Since my oldest daughter was a tiny little bean inside my belly, I have owned and operated my very own business. Since going all in with Mother Like a Boss and ending my cleaning business almost 17 months ago, my schedule has dramatically changed. Although my schedule may not look si...

The last 8 years of my life has been spent opening my mind up fully to the idea of how abundant our universe is and therefore, how abundant we are in life. We live with pure abundance all around us and have the ability to live from a place of unlimited possibilities, especially as mothers and yet we're surrounded by lack mindset, lack vocabulary, lack beliefs. The very idea of motherhood is abunda...

Today's mindset shift is brought to you by the ability to clean without dragging your feet and having a toddler-like temper tantrum. We've all been there, giving the side-eye to the daily cleaning and negatively discussing how much it sucks.
