I am the mother of 7 beautiful children to my highschool sweetheart. I am an artist and a writer and love living my life with deep passion!

Feeling comfortable and jubilant in my body! Being more secure in myself than ever before. Feeling a level of freedom from the opinions of others, which naturally lends to doing more of what makes me happy. To me, turning 40 marked a time in my life when my happiness became a priority.
How do you stay fabulous?I paint every week. I walk 4 miles on our local rail trail everyday. I meditate. I make a point of connecting with friends I love every week. I cuddle my 4 year old everyday. I share reels with my twin college students. I accept every compliment this world lovingly sends my way, whether I feel deserving of it or not. I pursue relationships that feel good in my entire body, not just my mind or my heart.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would pay off a small amount of consumer debt…and then probably defer to my husband.Maybe we’d invest in a business idea together. We almost bought a small batch hard cidery with our friend group last year…it didn’t work out but the dream isn’t dead. Or move out of the city with all these kids. We love our 8 bedroom Victorian, in town…but some land would be amazing! I’d buy a laptop…so I could write more on my abandoned blog www.explosivehousewifery.com. Maybe I’d start writing my book! 😊
