Important: Young Adult Legal Documents

Before your child heads off to college, secure their future with essential legal documents. I recently ordered young adult power of attorney documents from Mama Bear Legal Forms, and it's an absolute lifesaver!

These documents cover power of attorney for health and finance, plus a free app for scanning, storing, and sharing. They also include free HIPAA & FERPA forms. Use my link to save 20% off your order!

“Because balance is a myth, but style isn’t”

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m the chaos coordinator behind Between the Dash. I’m a single mom of two kids — born 11 months apart (yes, I know how that happens). I escaped a toxic marriage, built a career as a full-time executive, and somehow manage to keep two humans and approximately one million animals alive — while still finding joy, humor, and good lighting.

I started Between the Dash because I got tired of the highlight reel. Life isn’t a before-and-after — it’s a messy middle. Balance isn’t about having it all; it’s about keeping all the plates spinning and knowing which ones can drop. Around here, you’ll find a mix of beautiful finds, practical advice, and the occasional reality check — because sometimes self-care is a nap and takeout in bed.
