April filled with good times but no content (…

It is time for my monthly wrap-up. April flew by quickly, and I was swamped. I had the busiest month of the year, and this will probably be the shortest wrap-up of the year. I spent the month doing those necessary adult things but had a productive month. March was a strong content month, but April fell flat.

In content creation and social media, there is a blurred view of what parenthood is like for moms. It’s not always matching outfits, made-from-scratch meals, and being highly productive throughout the day. I try to keep things real in my content, which can be challenging, even now. It takes…

Happy Spring! April showers bring May flowers, so that you might be heading out for some runs in the rain.

I ran my last half marathon of the season and achieved a mega goal. All in all, March was a great month. What’s up with the running and wellness? Physically and mentally, I haven’t felt this strong in a long time. For the first…
