Welcome back to Wonder & Glow Living.

Okay…I’m back. Let’s Do Life Together.

Since I was last consistently writing here, life has included a miscarriage, another breast cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, surgery, physical therapy, and now radiation. I’ll also be continuing Phesgo treatments for the next 7-10 months.

Needless to say… It’s been a season. A really hard one.

But somewhere in the middle of all of it, I realized something. I missed this. Not just blogging. Not just creating. I missed connecting.

I’m Not Coming Back Because Life Is Calm

I’m coming back because life isn’t. I think there’s this pressure online to disappear while life is messy… and then come back once everything is beautifully put together. If I waited for that day… I’d probably never write another post. Life isn’t wrapped up in a neat little bow over here.

I’m still going to radiation. I’m still healing. I’m still figuring things out. I’m still homeschooling. Still trying to grow a business. Still wondering what’s for dinner every afternoon around 4:30. Still forgetting where I put my phone that is probably in my pocket or my hand. Still reminding my kids to put their shoes on…

Again. Real life keeps happening. So instead of waiting until everything feels perfect… I’m choosing to invite you into the middle of it.

What You’ll Find Here

Wonder & Glow Living isn’t going to fit into one little box. Because honestly… Neither do I. Some days we’ll talk about wellness. Some days it’ll be cancer. Some days it’ll be motherhood. Homeschool. Travel. Recipes. Products I genuinely love. The occasional life lesson I learned the hard way. Probably a little sarcasm. Coffee. Definitely coffee. Hopefully encouragement. Mostly… I just want this to be a place where we figure life out together.

Why Wonder & Glow Living?

People sometimes ask why I chose the name Wonder & Glow Living. Because I don’t think joy only exists after the hard things.

I think wonder still exists… Even in hospital waiting rooms. Even during radiation. Even on the messy homeschool days. Even while rebuilding life after cancer. Sometimes wonder looks like watching my girls laugh. Sometimes it’s a sunset. Sometimes it’s finally drinking enough water. Sometimes it’s realizing I get another ordinary Tuesday.

I’ve learned not to underestimate ordinary. Ordinary is actually pretty extraordinary.

Cancer Changed Me

Cancer changed me. But maybe not in the ways people expect. Yes… It made me appreciate life more. But it also made me appreciate little things more.

Quiet mornings. Family meals. Making plans for next year. FaceTiming long distance family. Building a business that actually means something. Helping someone else feel less alone. I don’t want cancer to be the only story I tell. But it will always be part of the person writing these words. And I’m okay with that.

So…

What’s Next? Honestly? A little bit of everything.

You’ll find:

🌿 Wellness

🎀 My ongoing cancer journey

🏡 Homeschool life

☕ Products I genuinely love

🌎 Travel

🎧 Meditation

🍽 Food

👩 Motherhood

And probably a few rabbit trails along the way. Because that’s real life.

One Thing I Promise

You’ll never find me pretending to have everything figured out. This isn’t about creating a picture-perfect life. It’s about finding moments of calm in a beautifully imperfect one. There are enough of those.

I want Wonder & Glow Living to feel like sitting across the kitchen table with a friend. Some days we’ll laugh. Some days we’ll cry. Some days we’ll talk about Amazon finds that actually deserve the hype. Some days we’ll talk about surviving really hard things.

But whatever we’re talking about… I hope you leave here feeling just a little lighter than when you arrived.

If you’re navigating breast cancer yourself, organizations like the American Cancer Society offer helpful information and support.

Welcome to Wonder & Glow Living.

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning… Or this is your very first visit… I’m really glad you’re here. Let’s do life together.
