Picture your dream kitchen. Close your eyes and put together all the elements you’ve admired in those perfect Pinterest kitchens. What do you see? Is it all white and high gloss? An old homey country kitchen? Simple wooden shaker cabinets or rich hues that bring a touch of personality and flair to your cooking environment? Whether you are the Master Chef of your neighbourhood or your idea of cooking is pouring a bowl of cereal, you probably still have the kitchen of your dreams saved to a Pinterest board somewhere. And no matter your lifestyle, you need a kitchen that is both functional and beautiful. You may think that designing your dream kitchen is expensive and out of reach. But with planning and creativity, it doesn’t have to be. Take a look at how you can make a plan to design your dream kitchen in a few simple steps.

I get a lot of questions about Pinterest. And I’m doing my best to write these posts and to answer those questions honestly, with zero bs. Like many of you, I grew super tired of all the posts promising me “EXACTLY how to EXPLODE your traffic and make GAZILLIONS of $$$$ in 3 days!!” Gross. I don’t fall for that crap anymore. Instead, I’ve developed simple strategies that work for me, and I’m sharing them in case they work for you too! But I’m not promising squat. I won’t be that person. Instead, I’m suggesting you try my ideas and see if they work. I will be the happiest little entrepreneur if they work for you, because when one of us wins, we all win! So here’s a Pinterest Growth Hack that works well for me!

But first, here’s a truth bomb. For most of us, growing our social media followings and website traffic takes time. Like, LOTS of time.
If you’ve been told that you can EXPLODE your traffic and quadruple your followers in a matter of days or even months, you’ve been lied to. Sorry, I know that hurts. 🙁
Most of us live in the real world where we can’t devote 38 hours a day to marketing and promotion. Nor do we have the budgets to invest in advertising or loads of fancy tools.
If your house is starting to look a little worn around the edges, then it might be time to make some changes. Don’t allow it to continue falling into disrepair, now’s the time to jump into action and start sprucing! Here are a few simple ideas for what to do when your house is looking a little tired.

Pinpoint the Trouble Spots
First of all, you need to pinpoint the areas that could use some work. Before you get started with any renovation projects, you need to figure out exactly what you dislike about the current state of your home.
Go from room to room and make a list of things that need some help. Are the baseboards in rough shape? Would a fresh coat of paint make all the difference? Once you start jotting down the issues that are bothering you, you might find that the task before you isn’t quite as overwhelming as you imagined.
Sometimes, a full-scale renovation isn’t necessary to breathe new life into a tired house. Your house might simply require a few small changes that can make a massive difference.
But if you’re feeling liking you’re living in a “Love it or List it” scenario, it might be time to see what else is out there.
I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection lately. A little dreaming, a little soul-searching, a little evaluating of my life in general. I want to figure out if I’m living my best life or not. And WHY I’m not, if that’s the case. Where are the limitations coming from? What is making me believe that my dreams are out of reach? How can I make daily changes that will help me reach my long term goals? That kind of stuff. I know, it’s heavy stuff. But at the end of it all, I want to be able to look back on my life and know that I did everything in my power to lead an amazing life. Here are some thought-provoking journal prompts for moms to get us all started.

I initially composed a list of 30 journal prompts for moms in this post. They are still totally valid questions and a great place to start. But I feel ready to dig a little deeper and I challenge you to do the same.

Are You Living Your Best Life?
Are you thriving in life or do you feel stuck in a rut?
For too many years I had this baseline feeling of disappointment that stayed with me. Disappointment that THIS was my life. That this life was everything I had always wanted, but it turns out it was actually kind of a let down. And then of course the crushing guilt about feeling disappointed. Lol. Motherhood is one crazy emotional roller coaster!
I’ve been doing some journaling and deep thinking lately about what kind of adventures I want to have in my life. And something that keeps popping into my head is moving the family abroad for a year!

Maybe you are in a similar position and are contemplating moving abroad one day, to a country you’ve already visited or to somewhere new. So here are a few tips I’ve found to help us all out!
