July was a very difficult month, both emotionally & physically. 😢 Things happened that I never could have imagined, & I am still questioning how, why, & what next. I'm gradually learning to lean on my small support system I've built here as well as a few dear friends from a distance. I know the kids & I will get past these challenges eventually, but I'm hoping things start to stabilize before too long. 🤞🙏🤞 It's felt like I was treading water even before facing upcoming surgeries & unexpected medical issues, legal battles, career pivots, betrayals like I've never been victim to before, & other random dramas that feel like could only happen to me.

I'm on my way to Toronto for the Norwex conference, which is always a perfect way to get my spark back. 💥 With everything going on, I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it this year (it will mark my 20th consecutive conference!), but I just couldn't miss it. I need this trip too much, in so many ways. I am determined for August to be the beginning of a much-needed resolution to as many of these challenges as possible so I can work toward health, safety, freedom, & happiness as we approach the end of 2026. 💕

How is it snowing like crazy in the middle of April?!? Mother Nature doesn't realize it's spring & isn't supposed to be doing this anymore! ❄️☃️🥶

As if ending 2025 with Joshua having a cardiac monitor implanted wasn't enough, we "celebrated" ❤️ Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week ❤️ a couple days early with a cardiac ablation today. Joshua's procedure went well even though it was a LOT more extensive than anticipated (they spent over 6 1/2 hours looking around, mapping, & ablating all over instead of 1-3! 😱). They had to shock him 3 times because his blood pressure bottomed out when he went into sustained ventricular tachycardia, but he gave them a lot of data to figure out what's been going on at least the last several months.

I am even more thankful we moved to Denver since we're right near one of the top Adult Congenital Heart Defect programs in the country. 🙌 My kids have each been Children's patients more than a few times in the past year & a half, but even more so now, I cannot recommend Children's Hospital of Colorado more highly.

Our amazing neighbor let us drop off the little ones at 5am & got them ready & off to school, then she watched them after they got home until I was able to rush back to get them so they could visit their big brother. 🥰 If all goes well overnight, Joshua will be discharged tomorrow with a new med added to his routine & we'll follow up in a few weeks to come up with a longer term plan. 🤞

Anyone else feeling the stress of extra holiday spending? 🙋‍♀️ You’re not alone--expenses this season add up fast! 🎄🎁🍽️

If you’re looking for a way to earn some extra cash for the holidays, new year, or beyond, now is a great time to create a consultant account with Norwex. You can begin earning 💵 on ALL sales from Day 1, & you can enjoy the flexibility to work around YOUR schedule (this is a MUST with my chaotic life!🙌).

In December, you can earn 40% on all your sales--for every $100 sold, you can earn $40 in cold, hard cash. 🤑 Obviously, there's no income guarantee, but I would LOVE to partner with you to help you meet whatever your financial goals, whether it's an extra $100, $1,000, or more!

Curious about how it all works? Drop me a comment or shoot me a text & I’ll get you the info you need! (And I promise not to stalk you if you're curious--I just want to give you the information so you can decide if it's what you're looking for like it was for me).

It isn't good when you get multiple holiday emails from urgent care centers because your family is probably one of their biggest clients. 😬 I think we've been to about 9 different urgent care centers & emergency departments (at least a few of them multiple times) since moving to Colorado last year. In addition to several nasty illnesses, we've had at least 8 sprains, 2 broken bones, 3 surgeries (2 were minor/planned), probably over 100 x-rays, several CTs/MRIs/etc, & 50+ PT sessions between us. 😱 Here's hoping 2026 is a much better year for the kids & me....... 🤞🤞

Check out my legroom! 🙌 Even with a huge flight delay thanks to the air traffic control issue, the entire TSA process took less than 5 minutes start to finish, & then I got the last emergency exit row seat. 🎉 Looking forward to seeing my Norwex bestie in a couple hours & going to our Super Saturday training tomorrow!! 👭 by @fightinglikeamother

Alicia & I got to play with baby kangaroos yesterday & it was sooo fun!! Little Ruby & Hazel were adorable & loved hopping around & cuddling. We learned a lot of cool facts about kangaroos from the "rookeepers," too. If you're ever in the Denver area, I highly recommend visiting Kangaroo Ranch!!!

Alicia & I survived our 7th 5k--our 2nd after our injuries last spring. We were able to run a little this time, but just finishing it was the big goal. 🏅 I look forward to being able to run the whole thing again, but for now, I'm most looking forward to my physical therapy session tomorrow! 🤪

Senior leader training day kicked off conference with lots of hugs, surprise reveals, & the amazing breakthrough speaker, Brian Biro. And I had both an emotional & physical breakthrough of my own at the end. 💥🤛

* Note, I used my left hand since I'm still recovering from breaking my right wrist.

I love how Norwex's conferences are like family reunions. 🥰 Kicking things off with my little grandma & cousin!
