You may have noticed a new logo hanging it’s hat up top. I’m happy to say  my site has now officially changed from Motherhood Unadorned to Life Unadorned. For the past 5 years the old name has served me well. I started the blog when Ellie was just about a year old when motherhood was my […]

Day 22 of 30 Days of Positive Affirmations is all about social media.  We all have them, the friends’ who’s status updates we typically love to see.

Affirmation #20: I am abundantly wealthy.

Filed Under: Biz, Mental Health, Self Care, Self Image

Day 20 of 30 Days of Positive Affirmations is about attracting wealth. John always says “Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it sure does end a lot of sadness.” When I’m living in a state of depression it often feels as though success and prosperity passes me by, like I don’t have the energy or even the skills to make things […]
