Ladies,
I am thoroughly burned out. Â Trying to finish law school in two years may have been the dumbest thing I’ve ever done, or the smartest. Â With just one month left, I’m collapsing.
I need some sleep and a very big cocktail.
I’ll be back tomorrow.
xoxo, Belle
My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
If you were further south I’d suggest some toes in the sand… Get rested, feel better, and we’ll see you soon!
Girl, listening to yourself and actually doing what needs to be done, was one of my hardest learned lessons this past year. Take all the time you need! #girlboss #burnout #selfcare #selflove
You can do it! 🙂 Enjoy your cocktail!
Belle, having gone through law school in three years, I am amazed at all you do. The end is in sight. You can do it!
I can’t imagine completing law school in just two years, you crazy, successful woman! Congrats — you’re almost there.
Take some time for self-care – no one would begrudge you of that.
Less than a month, though! Hang in there.
You got this.
Take care of yourself, and go get em!
Take a whole week off! You deserve it! Your readers will be here when you return — we promise.
Take a week off your fans will understand!!
Agree!!
We totally understand. You’re so close to the end! Taking some time for self care is necessary and well deserved, and it’s a good reminder to us all that we can’t take care of other things that are important to us without taking care of ourselves first. Enjoy that cocktail and that sleep, you’ve more than earned both. I second Jill’s comment; we’ll be here when you return, even if you give yourself more than a day off. Xoxo
Take good care of yourself Belle! You totally deserve your break.
We will miss you, but we’ll still be here when you’re back.
XOXO
Take all the time you need! I do not know how you’ve kept everything going for all this time – you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing it all with us. I agree with the above sentiments: we’ll be here when you get back. Just hold on a little bit longer – You’re almost there!
I agree with the above, you’re an inspiration and must be incredibly strong, mentally and emotionally, to get through law school in two years, run an incredible blog, and who knows what else! I hope you have a wonderful celebration planned at the end for yourself 🙂
So proud of you! I am an Elementary school Principal and just love your blog! Take your time, rest, and congrats on finishing!
Fellow 3L here, Belle. Good luck, and stay strong! We’re almost there–“there” being a lifetime of hard work 😉
The third year is a complete waste of time. Doing it in two years is best.
