1. HELPFUL PRODUCTS & SERVICES
I’m a constant work in progress, but these things have been ESSENTIAL in my journey to improve in health, happiness, and impact!
GROWTH & HAPPINESS
5 Minute Journal
The 5 Minute Journal is the EASIEST and most dependable way to practice gratitude and set up intentions for the day. It is split into two easy sections for morning and night. This journal finally got me to set up a consistent gratitude practice.
The Productivity Planner
The Productivity Planner is from the same company as the journal above, and I also use it daily! It’s been a game-changer in my productivity and how I approach the day. It has built-in prioritizing to make sure I’m putting first things first and achieving my goals.
(I recently tried another planner and immediately went back to this one!)
Headspace
This meditation app saved me when my first two kids were little. I was so sick of losing it with them and then feeling guilty about it!
The truth is, I never would have learned to meditate on my own. I highly recommend investing in the app for a variety of guided meditation options. It’s perfect if you need some stress relief, calm, or focus. Try it HERE.
*Not an affiliate link, I am just obsessed with this APP!
A Family Charging Station
If you don’t have one of these, you need one pronto! This small thing saved us SO MUCH frustration! We no longer have to worry about charging and we always know where the kids’ ipads are. *My favorite family purchase of 2021!

HEALTH
A Sturdy To-Go Cup
There are too many wimpy water bottles out there! This water bottle is insulated stainless steel and it keeps things cold or hot all day. I love that it’s big so I don’t have to refill it often, and it helps me drink more water.
A High Quality Blender
Sometimes, I don’t feel like it. But I know that the fastest and healthiest breakfast is a smoothie. Whip up two (one for today and tomorrow) in the individual-sized portable containers. It does your body good with less effort. Here’s the blender I love >>
100 Days of Real Food Cookbook
When we began cooking a more whole foods diet, this cookbook and accompanying blog were EVERYTHING. It continues to be the guided foundation for much of what I cook today, and I now have her other two cookbooks as well. (The kids love her recipes the best too).
2. BOOKS WORTH READING
Next, I’m an avid reader, and of everything I’ve read, THESE are some that dramatically touched my mind and heart. If you’re looking for inspiration or to learn something new, I highly recommend them!
Also, many of these can be found at the library!

The Alchemist
The Alchemist is a beautiful story of a young man on an adventure. It’s one of the deepest and most unique books I’ve ever read about following your dreams and the purpose of life. If you need an inspirational read, here it is!
The 5 Am Club
I have no idea why the 5 am Club touched me so deeply, but it’s truly my favorite book of all time. Yes, it’s about getting up early – but it’s also about living life deeply, finding success on your terms, and enjoying your days. I’d love it even if I wasn’t a morning person.
Do Less
If you are an overwhelmed mama, I highly recommend this book. It’s about evaluating what’s important, listening to your body, and asking for help. I found it very useful when I was trying to simplify my mom life.
The Get Your Life Back Workbook
This digital workbook is my own product and goes with my free email course. The truth is, I use it once a quarter to make sure I’m focusing on what matters to me.
It’s so easy to get distracted in today’s world, and this has been a beautiful anchor.
(If you struggle with taking great care of yourself, I also recommend my self-care workbook)
Atomic Habits
Atomic Habits is the best habit-forming book I’ve ever read. And, I’ve read it three times since because I love the actionable tips in it. Want to change, well, anything? Check out the book!
The Latte Factor
This super quick read is the story of a young woman lost in the rat race of living paycheck to paycheck. She meets new people with different perspectives on money and uses key lessons to live a more abundant life. It’s an inspiring story about living life on your own terms.
The Five Love Languages: The Secret To Love That Lasts (& For Kids)
The Five Love Languages is my favorite marriage book, and the kids version is also SO helpful. They give such concrete ways to be a better spouse and mom.
I don’t always achieve it, but it’s wonderful to have a playbook on how to give love in a better way for the recipient. Check it out HERE.
