HOW I CREATED MY DREAM LIFE: It feels SO good to be back in San Diego + living the boho fun-loving gardening life I’ve always resonated with deep down! Here’s how I did it: ☀︎︎ Positive Psychology - I focus on my strengths instead of weaknesses, work on building the good in life instead of what “bad” things may need to change, + I try my hardest to manifest from a place of joy! ☀︎︎ Building confidence - Even when I don’t feel confident, I fake it! If you don’t believe in you, why would anyone else? ☀︎︎ Expecting the best - Negativity doesn’t exist for long! I expect things to work out for me, miracles to happen, and negative experiences to bring about something good. 🙌🏼 ☀︎︎ Affirmations - I affirm what I want in my head all day every day. “Everything is always working out. Life gets better + better. I am successful.” Negative thoughts trigger my brain to switch to affirmations at this point after practicing for years. 🙌🏼 ☀︎︎ Meditation - When I’m not sure which path to take, meditation leads the way! We always know the answers + the path towards our highest good. Sometimes we just need to slow down and listen. ✨ Let me know in the comments which resonates with you most - leave-it-to beaver or my boho gardening era! I’m eager to hear your thoughts!

We hung with the sea lions + explored the caves. Which is why La Jolla Cove is one of my top 5 favorite spots in San Diego! Here’s all this beach spot has to offer: » Beach access from stairs. » A field of grass to picnic, play sports, or look out at the ocean. » The option to snorkel + swim with sea lions! » Huge flat rocks to walk out on/sit to watch the waves and beautiful views. Not to mention the trendy restaurants + boutique shops just a quick walk up a hill! Insider tip: if you can’t find parking on the street or in front of the cove, there’s paid public parking on an off street by the shops.👌🏼 Comment below if I’m forgetting anything else amazing about La Jolla Cove! … Motherhood Home + Healing #mylajolla #sandiegomom #sandiegobeach #sandiegobeaches #lajollabeach #thingstodoinsandiego #sandiegoblogger

DOES IT EVER FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING YOU DO AS A PARENT IS WRONG? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙋‍♀️ I’m not gonna lie, in some ways I like it. Concern about the way we’re parenting is so freaking important! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because these children we’re raising turn into the adults of our society, and with mental illness so high in our generation it’s about time we take a look at the way kids are treated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re feeling overwhelmed though, and as if you can’t do anything right no matter how hard you try - take a step back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lean into your intuition and trust in that. Other moms don’t know your story, your family, your situation, etc etc etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only YOU know what’s truly best for your kiddos, mama. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re looking for some extra motherhood or parenting inspiration you can head to my many blogs or Pinterest boards where I share all of my favorite parenting quotes and motherhood tips or tricks!

Want to hear something crazy? I used to walk with my head down, barely noticing anything going on around me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It made me a target, easy to be manipulated, unable to stick up for myself or hold my ground. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Until I began to heal, and caught myself constantly looking at the ground instead of the beauty around me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I began to hold my chin up, shifting my energy with it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It took time… I was so uncomfortable + worried what people around me would think or say. But no one even seemed to notice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The changes were internal (and huge). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And so, I’ll continue to lift my chin + teach my kids to do the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Here are few of my favorite spots from a girls’ trip to Nashville!] … Motherhood Home + Healing
