A Little Gratitude Goes a Long Way: The Importance of Gratitude
Today I listened to an episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Law of Attraction Changed My Life, and it was all about the need for and importance of gratitude. I’ve been trying to be more grateful for the great things I have, but it all somehow boils down to me lying down to sleep, […]
How to Deal With Pregnancy Anxiety
I am now 23+ weeks pregnant, and since day 1, I’ve been extremely anxious about it all. It grew to the point where I would get actual pregnancy anxiety attacks. It started with “what if I’m not really pregnant?”, moved into “what if these pains mean ectopic pregnancy” and “what if the heart isn’t beating”, […]

Where my husband and I live, the average salary is around $650, which is roughly what both he and I make on our jobs. And yet, we always end up with extra money and can afford ad-hoc traveling, any unexpected repair we need, or splurging every once in a while. None of us have side […]
How to Relieve Sciatica in Pregnancy
I was fairly early in my pregnancy when sciatica started making my nights miserable. It was probably towards the end of the first trimester, maybe the beginning of the second one. I’ve heard of it before, but didn’t really know what that pain was or how it came to be. I was vaguely aware that […]
What Your Baby’s First Movements Feel Like [And When to Expect Them]

Let’s start this by saying that every pregnancy is different. For example, most say that first-time moms won’t be able to feel their baby’s first movements before week 20 or so. However, I felt mine move at week 13! The truth is, unless you have an anterior placenta, you should be able to do the […]
How I Started Successfully Manifesting (Before I Even Knew What That Was)
Back when I was in high school, I was writing a lot. Granted, I started writing from a very early age, but high school is when I became really dedicated. And next to horror stories, sad poems, and other literary forms, I eventually started writing about what I wish would happen. From failed relationships I […]
How to Create a Productive Workspace at Home
I have been working from home for 18 months prior to writing this. My job allowed me to be flexible with my schedule, meaning I have to create and follow my own day after day. To be honest, I never found it hard to do that. In fact, I now have a baby and a […]
Traveling While Pregnant: Tips, Dos, and Don’ts
When I first got pregnant, I had plans to travel to a city 12 hours away from where I live. But as soon as the morning sickness hit (you can find some great foods and remedies for it in my earlier posts) it was clear to me that wasn’t going to happen. Traveling while pregnant […]
Second Trimester Dos and Don’ts
Going into the second trimester, aka the magical time between week 13 and week 26, I was simply happy to be out of the “danger zone”. This being my first pregnancy, I kept fretting throughout the majority of the first trimester – and once that was behind me, I didn’t really know what to expect […]
6 Morning Sickness Food Ideas (That’ll Make Your Life Easier!)
Table of contents: When my morning sickness was at its prime, I had to change my diet so much. I used to be a vegetarian who could eat anything, but now I was suddenly able to eat 10% of my usual foods, and I craved certain things so much I all but refused to eat […]
