Adoption. What an incredible gift; the giving of life, the giving of family, the giving of love. Each year, November is recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month. Adoption is the reason I am the person that I am today. So here is a little piece of my story…
The weather is cooler, leaves are changing, and Halloween is over, which means it’s officially The Holiday Season! [Cue Christmas music.] When I think of the holidays, I think of family and friend get-togethers, eating good food, and GIVING. After all, isn’t that what the season is intended to be about?
It all starts with the Halloween candy. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin beer, and pumpkin spice lattes… you’re halfway through November with an eye towards Thanksgiving and find yourself with [amazon_textlink asin=’B075VB52KH’ text=’holiday party invitations‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’poms2moms-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’4ca559a5-e6af-11e8-87e6-35767d595d1d’] in hand. The time is near… CHRISTMAS PARTIES ARE COMING! (Yay!)
Some weeks I go so hard & accomplish so much, I end the week feeling like [amazon_textlink asin=’B072J84141′ text=’Wonder Woman‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’poms2moms-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’8d63b6a2-d75e-11e8-83bb-c7ac6489462c’]. And then there are times, when the next week rolls around, I become overwhelmed from the mental to do list – rotating like a credit reel. That’s when the panic sets in and I have the tendency to hide from my tasks & people. Rather than ending that week like Diana Prince I feel more like Ursula.

It sets the tone for the rest of your day, and even your mind set for the next workout. Check out some of my favorite ways to reset your mind and body with post workout stretching.

I’m on the brink, but not quite there yet…
As I quickly approach 30, I’m looking around and getting a little anxious that I’m missing something. I’ve got no plans of babies any time soon. Am I incorrect? Am I missing the motherly gene?
There is nothing better than waking up with a smile on your face and feeling ready to take on the day! But you all know that if one thing causes you to have a bad morning, you are more than likely going to have a bad rest of the day. And typically if you have a bad day, that rubs off on your family… and they will also not have a great day.
