If not now, then when?

Wow. Sorry about that. It's been a while. A lot has actually happened in the time since I posted my last post. Lots of grief and sadness and loss. So, I've been just doing the bare minimum social media and interneting, while also trying to maintain a slight bit of sanity. So, as we sit here, listening to Eyes Open (Taylor's Version) for the billionth time (it's my son's favorite Tay Tay song and let's be honest, it's a great song. :) ), I've been doing a lot of list making and planning. My goal this year is to grow this brand. Mom Life with Candace. This blog, my Etsy shop, my Instagram, all of it. I'm thinking about a podcast, maybe a YouTube channel...I don't know yet. I'm ready to just reach for whatever stars I can grab and catapult myself out there. I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to be talking about specific things, or just a range of things. I want to be very clear, I am not just a mom. I'm a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a friend. I'm Candace. I love my son, my husband, my family, my friends, Star Wars, my Minnesota sports teams, professional wrestling, writing, reading my Kindle, drawing...there's so much to me. I'm a super passionate, loyal, and empathetic person. I love with everything I am, and I'm very passionate about education and mental health. And I don't want to limit what I am able to talk about on here, ya know? I'm going to try really hard to keep everything in specific categories, but I really hope you're able to find something here. :) Currently in the Etsy shop are some planning sheets. If those are at all helpful to you, please check them out. Coming soon (once I figure out what to do! ;) ) are some fun flash cards that I'm making for my son and I'm going to figure out a way to put them up on the Etsy shop, for others to use as a printable. If there is anything you'd love to see on the Etsy shop, I can take those suggestions. I'm all about printables, organization, affirmations, and learning utensils, so I'm going to try to get lots of things up there for y'all. As always, please do not hesitate to leave me suggestions or message me. I'm planning on being here way more often. 2024 is going to be about manifestation and me. 2023 left me broken and exhausted and I'm going to build myself back up and I'm going to use my talents and my strengths to help others. :) I hope your new year started off the way you wanted and I send all my hugs, always. Love, Candace
