ABOUT

Welcome to my little slice of life! 

HELLO!

A little ABOUT ME...I"m a 30 something living out in the country fields of northern New England, with my loving (very Italian) husband, my three amazing kiddos, our 5 chickens and a duck named Frank. I'm in love with living a simple, minimalist life. I'm oldschool and have a serious love hate relationship with social media and technology...yet I won't lie to you; I could not survive without Amazon prime---I have my M.Ed degree in  Early Childhood Special Education but being a momma is where my current passion lies. I'm all about positive vibes and have been on a life long journey of loving the skin I"m in. Outside of being wife, momma, teacher, self love activist, and positive vibe junkie, my 'day-job' is that of a Wellness Coach. I love connecting & helping other momma's pursue their wildest dreams outside of motherhood while giving them the tools to love the skin they are in. 

WIFE
I met my hubby during one of the busiest times of my life (before motherhood!) I was putting myself through graduate school, interning full time, training for my second full marathon and working night hours at a restaurant. Said husband happened to be one of the chef's at said restaurant. He pursued me for about a month before I finally gave in telling him specifically "I do not date, I will go out with you for a drink, friends only." Well 6 months later we were engaged and married two months after that. So much for not dating! HA

MOMMA
About a year after we were married we got pregnant with our first son Vito Ivano(named after my father in law and my pepere)...he changed my life and made me realize the importance of taking time for me.  A short 18 months later we were blessed with another boy Paolo Gaston (named after my Dad) who showed me what its like to run on very minimal sleep--but he really is one of a kind. 18 months after Paolo came, we were again blessed with a darling little girl Rosa Marie (named after Carlo's Nonna and my memere). Motherhood has been one of the BEST damn things I have ever done, yet the most exhausting. Would not trade it for the world. 

POSITIVE VIBES
I've always been one to look at things as 'the glass is half-full.' Life is too short to dwell on the negative and live in the past. I don't like watching the News and think the world would operate on a much more positive vibe if everyone focused on serving others in positive ways. I don't like drama--just simple, happy, free flowing things, (like tye-dye and amazon prime!) HAHA

SELF LOVE
Self love never was high on my list. I struggled with a distorted body image all through highschool, college and right up until I had my first son. I battled an un-diagnosed eating disorder my senior year of high school, and first few years of college. Looking at myself and finally accepting my body for what it IS instead of what it is not, has been a long time coming. I'm happy to say I'm perfectly myself and I want ever other girl/woman out there to feel that too. 

WELLNESS COACH
After having my first son my self confidence and out of control eating habits hit an all time low. I had about 20lbs pounds too lose but more than that I needed to find balance in my life. A balance between fitness, nutrition, mothering, wifey & personal growth. I had to give up binge eating, and late night snacking but what I GAINED out of that experience is more than I ever bargained for. I work with other momma's to help them attain a balance in their busy life &look for the positive while loving the skin they are in. It has been the most rewarding experience (outside of momma and wife) I will ever have. 

PEACE--XO,
