Practical tips to let go of ADHD shame, lower stress, and finally love the way your brain works.

Welcome Spooky Bunny 👻🐰 to your forever family 💕🏡 About Spooky: Spooky is a little baby still, around four months old, with a cleft lip and eyes slightly too far apart (AKA hypertelorism). None of that is going to stop her! She does not have a cleft palate, which helps makes things easier for her. We will have a checkup with her soon, after she has been spayed. The wonderful @cosettekittens and Animal Lovers Rescue were taking care of her until we adopted her on Easter Su

Last year I shared 13 lessons I've learned as a blogger of 13 years, but now in year 14 I realize it started way before 2010. Let's take a journey down memory lane, focusing on my life as a writer and how this has been a growing need in me all along. I’ve mentioned the origin of my original 2010 blog multiple times. The quick summary is I became obsessed with beauty gurus and made a beauty YouTube channel. After some time, I realized I had much more to say and I started my bl

Becoming an author was one of the most impactful decisions I have ever made. I've had a few questions about my author journey over the years and realized I didn't have anywhere that shared the full story and the transformation I went through along the way. It has transformed my happiness, confidence, income, and life. It is fun, challenging, and something I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Publishing is the perfect creative path for me as it combines my love for learning

I have a reputation for being positive, inspiring, solving problems, and getting the things I want. While that's a nice rep to have, it's not how I felt for the first half of my life. My brain did not naturally find the positivity or opportunity in most things when I was a child and up through college. I had a series of life events that made me think it was me against the world, where I had to fight through everything with force. It was very Taylor Swift's "you're on your own

This past October, my MIL found what we thought was a lost dog. She dropped him off at our house so we can help find his home. I loved him from the beginning, but I wanted to be careful in proclaiming it in case he had a home looking for him. With in-person and online found dog postings, a scrounging of hundreds Craigslist and other site missing dog listings, and no chip when we took him to get scanned at the vet, after two weeks passed--we officially adopted the puppy and na

I can't believe it's been 13 years. I'd like to preface this post by saying I am not a blogging expert. Or an affiliate marketing expert....

Journaling is an outlet for many because the act of writing helps process information and allows for more reflection during and after. As an author, it's common for me to take experiences from my real life and interpret them in a fictional world to give my characters other options I didn't have, saviors that show up for them, or a way to save themselves. They always learn the lessons they need to learn and I help my characters by giving them those experiences. When I started

I recently completed two big milestones in my author life, I released the second book in my Creature Cravings series and re-launched my fantasy fiction brand's Fated Tales series. Any ideas on how I should celebrate my book releases? I definitely feel like I should be doing more to appreciate the end of such big projects, but I'm not sure what. In today’s vlog, it starts off with clips of me burned out from my recent book releases and pretty drained. I eventually pepped mysel

It has been a very busy few months with back-to-back book deadlines and work obligations. I thought it would be a lot of fun to take you along for the ride with a vlog of what this time of my life is like. I released three books in April (totally obsessed with myself for doing that) - they are linked below. You'll love my books if you like paranormal romance or royalty fantasy stories with plot twists.

What you are about to read was written by someone scared 24/7. Every moment of my life in 2016 (and 2017) was filled with self-doubt, anxiety, and pain. This article was originally posted in 2016 on my former blog. I have since moved on from that website, starting a new one here after launching my books. When the blog disappeared, so did my initial (albeit, filtered) thoughts at that time. I kept thinking about my first (and possibly only) pregnancy experience and how differe

This post is part of my From the Archive project, where I reshare personal content from my original blog, with some additional commentary from me in 2026. This wedding dress post is almost exactly like the original, with only a few minor edits. It's the story of picking my wedding dress, which ended up being simple, fast, and stress-free. I know, not a typical wedding dress story! I'd love to do a vow renewal with my husband in the future, and despite loving the dress, how I

My husband and I got married in 2014, after dating for nine years. Yes, we were high school sweat hearts, getting married two years after I graduated college. The majority of our wedding was shabby chic DIY, with a $10,000 budget to cover our wedding and honeymoon. This post is reshared as part of my From the Archive project, where I reshare and edit posts from my previous blogs into one place with commentary from where I am now. I'm backdating these wedding posts to the week

Rebecca in 2026 here to let you know this is a post from the archives! After switching blog platforms, I saved copies of some of my favorite memories to reshare. Enjoy this look into my first and, so far, only half marathon. While I was initially excited at the thought of doing it again, it feels so far away from my life now that I don't know if I ever would re-attempt it. Regardless, it was a special bonding experience with my then-fiancé. I'd recommend runDisney's Princess
