A few weeks ago, my husband’s company asked employees to volunteer for a temporary layoff for a 6 week slow period. It’ll take that long to process their orders and restock parts, because management has to catch back up. Usually, the older guys volunteer. It all was sorted out, but they still needed a few …

This November will mark 5 years since I married my best friend and love of my life. We always joked about renewing our vows, but it’s something I’m actually considering a lot lately. Our wedding was small, and I honestly didn’t plan a thing. I was going through a lot of health issues at the …
Marriage is hard. Like grit your teeth, swear a lot like you just broke a toe kind of hard. Just like breaking that toe, in the heat of the moment, you have to remember to breathe and tell yourself you’ve got this even when it feels like you stepped in lava and your toe is …
Fun fact: Build and Rebuild is a chapter title from the extended version of Eat the Damn Muffin. This past week, I took off from writing new posts to work on some much needed book edits and me time. I feel recharged and am ready to keep building and rebuilding. A lot has been going …
I’m still on my break from posting, but I really wanted to share my Instagram post today. On Wednesday’s, I do a Hump Day Truth where I share a bit about my history with bulimia, my tips for loving myself, and an overall body positive lesson that I’ve experienced. Today’s message was extra important for …
All bodies are beautiful, but that doesn’t stop body shaming from happening. There is a lot of judgement and hate in the world, so it’s no surprise that people are cruel to each other about their bodies. Sometimes, you have to rise above the negative comments and keep on loving yourself and feeling confident. It …

Even if you’re new to my blog or socials, you can tell I’m very supportive of body positivity movement as well as self-love in general. What people don’t always realize is that they are two very different concepts. They can be related obviously, but body positivity isn’t just saying I love my body, the end. …
When it comes to the things that make us happy, we are all so diverse, and I think that is extremely wonderful. One of my favorite things is art and the millions of forms of art and how inspirational it can be. Whether it’s a powerful sculpture or a calming painting, art brings so many …
June marked 10 years since I graduated high school. Most classes do a reunion, but our class president is adrift. To be honest, he was elected out of popularity and not who was best for the job, but that’s usually how high school goes. I may get some shit for my honesty here, but our …
Since I’ve been on this self-love journey, I’ve had great days and really hard days. The thing is, I didn’t just wake up and decide I’m going to start a completely new confidence fueled attitude. It took time. I had to map out my goals and figure out the best version of myself. I had …
My husband has been a welder at his dream company for almost 2 years. The early years of our relationship and marriage consisted of more job changes than I care to admit. It took a lot for him to find a job that truly made him happy, and even when it was difficult, I always …
When I first dipped my toes into the blogging and writing community, I was terrified that it would be littered with mean girls and bullies, but I’m so relieved at how welcoming and supportive this community is. Sure, there’s a few bad eggs, but for the most part, everyone is pretty damn wonderful. Twitter used …
With a million things I could say, I want to start with us. Before the kids, before the house, and before the jobs and late nights, we were just two best friends with more baggage than anyone else we knew. Our paths crossed so many times before our friendship blossomed. I genuinely believe we were …
Other than being a SAHM, blogging is my job. I work everyday and that includes finding new ways to increase my traffic. I’ve seen a ton of other bloggers talk about Tailwind and how it’s been amazing for their traffic. So, I decided to try the free trial and see what it could do for …
I’ve wanted to talk about my body image struggles and my blindness in a correlating way for sometime now. Many people don’t realize that just because I can’t see well, doesn’t mean I don’t struggle with what I do see or feel. I don’t blame my blindness for my past eating disorder, but it has …

For my son’s 4th birthday, we decided to take a day trip to Lake Tobias. We live in Southern Pennsylvania, so it wasn’t too big of a trip to accomplish in a day. The kids have been wanting to go to zoos, and we wanted them to see animals in more of a wildlife habitat …
After weeks of pouring my soul into this journey, my ebook is finally available on Amazon. During the last 5 or so years, I have been successful in overcoming bulimia. I shut down the worst body shaming critic- the mean girl living in my head. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety, but I have learned …
On Fridays, I usually like to post about blogging, and while this is apart of blogging, I want to focus on positivity and goals. Being a blogger and a writer can be very overwhelming. There’s so much to do to keep up with a blog, and if you’re blog is your business and job, it …
June is an incredibly busy and overwhelming month at our house. The 11th is my son’s 4th birthday. The 16th is Father’s Day and the 17th is my husband’s birthday. The end of the month has my mother and sister-in-law’s birthdays a day apart as well. It’s just one event after the next. Not only …

When I was growing up, my mom didn’t let us wear shorts until June. No matter how unpredictable our PA weather could be, that was the rule. I actually didn’t mind it, because I hated shorts and spent most of my summer in jeans. Even during the hottest months, I would be in jeans and …
So, May was the slowest month up until the last week. I tried some pretty great stuff this month. Be prepared for new beauty and hair product favorites. I’ve tried some pretty wonderful samples, so I definitely want to share my reviews. All opinions are honest and my own. There aren’t any affiliate links, just …
This is obviously about self-care, but it goes beyond tips for finding time for pedicures and face masks. This is about pleasure and showing your body some self-care. This post does discuss sex toys, masturbation, and pleasure. It’s the best kind of NSFW self-care, so be prepared. I was recently gifted some products from Adam …
The last few weeks, I’ve gotten comments, messages, and even emails of people telling me I’m brave because I am legally blind. I did a post about how I do my makeup as a visually impaired woman, so I guess a lot of people are responding from that. I didn’t realize how much of a …
So, let’s talk about branding your blog and reaching out to other brands for collaborations. Housewife Hustle is my brand. I strive to develop a voice, appearance, and all over tone for my blog. That, to me, is a brand. It’s a symbol and stands for who I am. Everyone has their own unique brand, …
