What a gift to be aging, but a few years ago, I started feeling sooo meh, and lately, it’s felt like a topic that comes up a lot in conversation with my friends.

I first attributed it to simply having two little kids, but after my youngest was 3, I started realizing, maybe I shouldn’t still feel this way. I created some healthier habits, dove deep into my health and bloodwork and realized there were some pretty major deficiencies and now I’m actively working on these things all the time so that I feel my best as I get older, not like crap.

These are all little habits, not groundbreaking things or long, complicated routines that simply do not fit into my life as a mom.
