Have we Met? My name is Sandra and this is my story.

Hi there! Have we met? Because if not, I’d absolutely love to meet you. I’m always up for a new friend, even if just through social media. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

If someone asked you to share with them your story, where would you begin? I believe what you start with gives a great insight into your personality. There’s so much to choose from, so many different areas of life that you could begin to unpack as you attempt to get to know the person you are speaking with a little bit better.

I have been married to my best friend for almost 14 years. We have our struggles just like any other married couple, but there is literally no one else that I would want to do life with. He is my rock and biggest supporter. Together we have two children that constantly keep us on our toes and three angel babies. I consider myself to be a hot mess mom who is always in a frenzy trying to cope with life. Maybe it’s my Type A personality or the fact that I HATE not being in control of a situation…..I am still trying to get better about that. I love my coffee every morning (seriously, don’t talk to me until I have had my first cup) and I love a good glass of wine. I am super sarcastic and some people just don’t get me. But you know what…….that is ok. That just means they are not your people. Let me honest though, this is just a surface level introduction. It’s going to get deep in here…..

I was never one of those women who dreamed of becoming a stay-at-home mom. I have always been a career and goal-oriented lady. I worked full-time when I had Parker, but after having 3 unexplained miscarriages when trying to conceive Stella, my wants shifted. I did not want to miss milestones or a minute of her life since we knew she would be our last baby. Fast forward to 2 years after her birth. I just felt lost. The first 2 years of her life I spent caring for her and bonding with her while also doing all the things for our older son as well. I was in charge of the home. I created the meal plans, I grocery shopped, I took the kids to school, I helped with homework, I planned the birthday parties, I did the laundry, I took them to the doctor appointments…….well you get it.

Now my husband that I spoke about earlier is so good to help me with all of these things, but his main priority is to work and provide for our family (which he is great at). He also travels a lot for work while working long hours to create and develop his own brand and company. In the midst of doing all of those things, I think I lost my focus and I lost a part of me, and I so desperately wanted to find it again. I needed something for me, to refuel me.

A few years ago I started a new business that has completely changed my outlook on life. For starters, I realize how important it is to take care of yourself first. It is so hard to be what you need to be for others if you’re pouring from an empty cup. Through working this business, I have made life-long friendships, gained more self-confidence and realized that my greatest joy is helping other women begin to see their own beauty – inside and out. This path has led me here to this blog you are now reading. Writing is very therapeutic for me. I communicate better through writing my words instead of speaking them. Creating a blog has always been a dream of mine, and I am so happy you are here to share this with me.

Follow me along this journey of self-development.

Stay tuned, my sweet new friend.

My story is not over yet…..
