During the Darker Days, Be the Light

Raise your hand if you feel like as the days get shorter, you tend to feel your positivity & ambition drop a bit? When the sun doesn't come up until 8 AM and it goes to bed at 4:00PM, it's harder to get out of bed early and to work on projects later into the evening.

Today we want to remind you that even though we don't have as many hours of daylight, we still have the same amount of time each day!

Here are a few simple tips to help you get the most of each day, even when the Mama World is callin' it quits for the day.
