 Happy New Year to my beloved Real Life Momz family!

Celebrating the new year is one of my favorite holidays because it allows me to reflect on the past year and prioritize my personal growth and evolution as the journey continues into the year ahead. 

Every year I create a vision board, a collection of thoughts, goals, and changes I seek - and reminders that keep me focused and oriented toward these objectives. I always pick a theme for my vision board - and for 2023, my theme is “alignment.” 

Join me as we explore how to align ourselves to be successful in achieving our new year's resolutions.

 Happy Holidays everyone!  

Join me this week as we discuss our kids' age-old question: Is Santa real? 

I invited Sara Kostelnik, mother of two beautiful children and founder of Jade Scott Design, an interior design studio based in Pittsburgh, PA. She’s the host of the fabulous podcast Living Elemental where she educates and inspires her listeners on how to curate a life through the lens of their living spaces.  

In this fun conversation, Sara and I discuss practical techniques to address and handle this delicate question with our children. We discuss the fine lines of balancing the reality of truth with the happiness and wonder our curious children possess with the big jolly man in the red suit.
