Stop Chasing Numbers  - You are More Than A Number

I want to talk about chasing numbers and how we especially women need to stop chasing numbers. 


To start the number on that scale it doesn't define who you are. It's just a number and that number can change daily. Numbers on a scale are different for everybody.  So don't think that just because it's a certain number that you are any less of a woman. Or that a lower number makes you more lovable. That by lowering that number you are more attractive or that you are even more healthy. Because again it's just a number. The beauty behind that number is we are also so unique and that number is special to us. 


Now if you choose to lose weight then that's one thing. But don't base your decision based upon that number. Because again hear me out... it's just a number and it has nothing to do with the woman that you are. 


The number that is in your bank account. That number does not define you as a person either.  You can be one of the most dependable lovable caring kind-hearted people in the world and just be struggling right now.  Just because you may not have a huge number in your account does not mean you're any less of a person. 

So don't get all tied up and stressed out trying to make that number bigger. I would rather have what I need and love people the right way than have all the money in the world and have an ugly soul. 


This number is one that we have been struggling with... Your GPA has nothing to do with you as an individual. For instance, is anybody even walking around asking you hey what was your GPA in high school or college? No, because nobody cares. Do we need to apply ourselves and learn what we can learn, Absolutely! But do we need to have our whole identity consumed into what a GPA is no? You can be the most lovable, caring, dependable, honest, have the best work ethic, have the best servant heart in the world, and have a low GPA. 

A high GPA doesn't mean anything. All it means is that you could study and you could answer questions on a test.

And there is nothing wrong with that.  But please stop stressing yourself out over a GPA because nobody cares I promise you.

Right now you seem like it's everything but I promise you it's not.


So all of that to say stop chasing a number that absolutely has nothing to do with defining who you are as a person, a woman, or a mom. Whatever the sum of numbers is in your life means absolutely nothing about who you are as a person.  Drop me a comment about a number you struggle with.

I help women overcome their negative mindset and start remembering their light is worth shining! 

Welcome! I'm so glad you found your way here.

 
Hey there! 👋

I'm Michelle — the voice (and occasional chef hat wearer) behind this little corner of the internet where family, fun, and food intersect... just not always in that order. 😄

If you've ever wondered how to slow down long enough to actually taste life (and not just the leftovers on your kid's plate), you're in the right place.

Here's the deal: I'm a busy mom with a heart full of curiosity and a kitchen full of half-used spices. Some days we're chasing sunsets, exploring small towns, and hopping on steam trains. Other days we're elbow-deep in pierogies, trying a new recipe, or laughing over whatever adventure the day throws our way.

I believe the best memories aren't always the expensive vacations or picture-perfect moments. More often than not, they're found around the dinner table, on a spontaneous road trip, or during an afternoon that wasn't planned at all.

What You'll Find Here

🍰 Real-Life Recipes
Simple, family-approved recipes with comforting favorites and fun new twists. Food just tastes better when it's shared—especially with people who understand that dinner time doesn't always go according to plan.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Adventures
Weekend getaways, staycations, hidden gems, and affordable outings that help families spend more time together and make memories that last.

📍 Feel-Good Finds
Local businesses, fun activities, products I genuinely love, and simple ideas that make everyday life a little more enjoyable. Because sometimes the best adventures don't come with a hefty price tag—they just require a little curiosity.

Why This Blog Exists 
I didn't start this blog to make you jump through hoops.

I started it because I was tired of everyone else doing it.

You know the drill. You find a recipe you're excited to make... and before you can even see the ingredients, you've dodged six pop-ups, watched three ads, and learned someone's entire life story.

Or you're told to "Comment COOKIE 🍪 for the recipe!" so a robot can send it to your inbox—and suddenly you're getting emails every day about things you never asked for.

No thanks.

Around here, I respect your time. If you click on a recipe, you'll get the recipe. If I recommend a place to visit, I'll tell you why it's worth the trip. No endless scrolling. No keyword games. No nonsense.

Life is busy enough.

I'm not here to waste your time—I'm here to help you enjoy it.

So if you're looking for recipes without the endless scrolling or pop-ups, family adventures that won't break the bank, honest recommendations, or just a reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things, you've found your people.

Grab a cup of coffee, stay awhile, and make yourself at home.

I'm so glad you're here. ❤️
