We've been growing so fast the last couple weeks at the Cottage. It doesn't feel as much like a roller coaster for me now as it did the first month, I feel like I'm settling into a groove for running the community. Now I just need to finish building out my offer properly 🙈

Hey everyone 👋 We’ve made it to Thursday — that almost-there-but-not-quite feeling 😅 How’s your day going so far? Show me using GIFs only! 🎬 Are you: 💪 Smashing goals and feeling unstoppable? ☕ Running purely on caffeine and vibes? 🧠 Deep in focus mode? 😴 Counting down the hours until the weekend? Drop your GIFs below 👇 — let’s see how everyone’s Thursday energy is looking today! 🎉

Want to move mountains in your life? 👉 Eat the toad first thing in the morning. 🤢 At first, you might be thinking "Michelle, that's gross. WTF are you even talking about?" and... that's valid... but I don't mean a LITERAL frog. I once heard that the BEST way to beat procrastination is to do the hardest part at the beginning of the day. 🐸 If you had to literally start every morning by eating a frog, wouldn't the rest of the day seem SO MUCH EASIER? So, eat your frog first thing in the morning and see how it changes your life. 👇 What is that thing today that you KNOW you have to do but can't bring yourself to do it?

I've seen a lot of posts on social media of people that I know really struggling with feeling worthy, loved, or seen. Some are downright ready to give up and struggling with balancing the holidays and their tightening budgets. 👉 For me, I usually try to reflect on the positive things that are happening in my life, like: 😍 This year, I will finally finish paying off our debts 🎁 This year, we will get to have an abundant Christmas for our kids 💎 This year, we will have enough to donate Christmas presents to foster children again ⭐ Our kids are all healthy, happy, and safe 🌈 My marriage is healthy, happy, and safe 🛡️ We have a warm home to shield us from the harsh weather outside 👑 We have a strong connection that keeps growing with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and so many more... ❤️ There have been plenty of Christmases that I couldn't say any of this... but if there's anything that life has taught me so far, it's that I have a 100% success rate of getting through tough times. 👇 So, if you were speaking to another mama who might be struggling this holiday season, what would you say to her? (you never know who might be reading this)

I think this might be a fun thread to get ideas from everyone for Christmas gifts! 👇Let us know how old your kids are, what gender they are, and what you're getting them below
