By now, you have probably noticed a change in my Instagram. Some of you have made comments on how much you like it, you love the photo edits (via Lightroom), and you’re giving me the BEST feedback.
Today, I wanted to talk to you all about moms being a new mom, yet still having goals.
My boutique is busier than ever, I miss working in the store, but I love my try on sessions with you all, and I LOVE putting outfits together from my favorite places to shop and sharing them with you all. However, I still find myself wanting more.
I find myself more often than not seeing comments on my photos about “how do you get ready now that you are a mom,” ” don’t you feel bad for working and leaving Bo,” “how do you have time for all that you do,” “is your boutique all you want to do with life,” and so on…
I would say one of the most important things about being Bo’s mom, is staying true to who I am, following through with my goals, my hopes, and my dreams. Of course that makes me a little selfish, but how can I inspire and push him to be and do his very best and to dream big when I gave up on mine? Now, this in NO way is belittling ANY mom who hasn’t given up on her goals and dreams, but she has taken a few steps back from them. This is to light a fire in those of you who are DYING to follow YOUR dreams, to make those goals a reality but need to be told IT IS OK.
Of course it takes time away from our babies, BUT for me, I believe I am a better mom for seeing my goals and dreams come to light. He inspires me. He has lit an even bigger fire in me then I had before.
So, today I wanted to write down 5 (HONEST) goals I want to complete by the end of 2018 in hopes you would do the same. Head back to my Instagram and tell me at least one goal you want to complete by January 1 of 2019 (lets leave our babies out of this one, we ALL know we are DOING THE BEST WE CAN AND WE ARE THE BEST MAMA TO THESE LITTLE ANGELS). If getting ready 2/7 days a week is a goal for you, TELL ME, if starting that clothing boutique is a dream of yours, LETS CHAT ABOUT IT. If a date night each week with you husband is a goal, LETS TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE GONNA WEAR! Lets do it girl!!!
- Reach and inspire 100K+ via Instagram providing you with the most positive, real, and best content I can.
- Be a better, nicer wife to my husband-8 months of sleepless nights has been rough
- Sponsored vacation, or two (HI SOUTHWEST AIR, hehe)
- Attend FALL NYFW
- Have my favorite bloggers wearing TRT on their blog (HI OLIVIA RINK)
We have 182 days after today to complete our goals! Lets wake up tomorrow and KICK A$$!
I am SO looking forward to reading and chatting with you about yours! I will try to often check in and keep you motivated because YOU motivate me!!

I want to be a healthier mom. I have an 8.5 month old son and I feel that I should be making better choices whether it’s less junk food and more cooking healthy, or simply only having 1 meal because we are on the run (like when school is back in session since I teach). I want to start getting into a better routine for when my son starts to eat with us.
My goal for this year is to truly work on my blog. Post at least 2 posts a week by the end of this year. It’s hard being a new mom and starting a dream that I have put on hold for 5 years! I’ve already paused my dream of owning a boutique for my little one (I’m still stuck with that merch). So my blogging dream is one that I DO NOT want to give up!
