Remember how carefree you were in your 20's?? Living off ramen, constantly only have $20, but having this "everything is going to be fine attitude?"  Somewhere between getting older, getting married, having babies, and paying bills that carefree attitude disappeared. The weight of the world replaced it and has brought along some not so carefree days.  On today's episode, I share 6 tips/ reminders on how to have a good day or how to turn a crappy day around.

I don't know about you but I love the holidays. It is my favorite time of the year but in the past, it has been the most stressful.

Self Care, Self Care, Self Care! Its the buzzword of the 2019 right? Everyone and their mama is talking about it. Bubble baths, hot yoga, green tea, journaling, and having a glass of wine are all the rage when it comes to taking care of yourself. Sounds good right?  But what If I told you by tapping into your values you can create a self-care routine that is not only proactive but is tailored to your needs? No more generic random self-care nights to make you feel better.  On today's episode, I share how I discovered my values, how they helped me create my self-care routine, and how I'm being more proactive with self-care.    Website: www.bymonicajones.com  Instagram: bymonicajones  FacebookGroup: https://www.facebook.com/groups/494057487829166/    

I don't know about you but transitioning from summer to fall can be kinda hard! One minute your days are filled with park hangs, late bedtimes and unexpected adventures. The next minute you're buried in permission slips, homework, crazy mornings, and a lot less fun in the sun!  A few years ago this transition hit me hard and left me feeling a little out of control by the end of September. After that I promised myself and my family that we will enter into this season with a little more ease.  In today's episode I will be sharing the importance of routines, systems, and a good old fashion organization reboot. I talk about how Sunday nights are my jam, batching meals is everything, and how to still have fun!    Stay Connected!  SHE IS YOU FACEBOOK GROUP https://www.facebook.com/groups/494057487829166/  SHE IS YOU INSTAGRAM www.instagram.com/bymonicajones

As a mother it is our nature to be concerned about everyone else. We worry about our kids health, growth, social skills, development etc. We spend hours researching the best of the best for our kids. Its just what we do, but who mothers the mother? Who takes care of her? Who makes sure she is rested, fed, growing, developing etc?  Last night I had a huge light bulb moment and I wanted to share it with you.  Website: www.bymonicajones.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/bymonicajones
