Guys! It’s been, well, a minute. Life just got busy, and hectic, and…other things have now been filling the time that my amazing husband and I used to spend getting these blog posts published. So, I’m back with a post…but I can’t tell you that I’m *BACK*–because in all honesty, my focus has been shifting. […]
About a year ago, I started a gratitude practice for myself. It helped me find and focus on happiness and thankfulness, and it has absolutely changed my outlook on life. So it’s sort of embarrassing to admit that I didn’t think of introducing my kids to gratitude until very recently. Psst! This post contains affiliate […]
My house is always LOUD. I mean, I’m an introvert living in an extrovert’s world. My kids and my husband are talkers. Our dog is a barker. The TV, a device, or Amazon Music is always on. Sometimes, all of that is on. I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I long for silence. Don’t […]
I always love to see what other moms are reading, so today I wanted to share some books I’ve read recently!! Psst! This post contains affiliate links. This means that, at no cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I’m a huge fan of reading (always […]
There’s so much I won’t miss about my kids being little. I won’t miss diaper changes and helping with the potty. I won’t miss someone needing something for the first 10 minutes of dinner every night, and the cold food that I end up with. I won’t miss someone constantly hanging all over me. But […]
I hope you’re cool with me being honest, because today, we’re going to talk about rest. For a couple months, I’ve been really, really tired. So tired that I rarely make it past 9 PM, and if I do, it’s til 9:30. And it’s not just the physical tiredness, it’s that I’ve been…emotionally tired too. […]
Okay–if you’ve been around here for a few, you know that I have fully embraced the concept of “me time.” I long believed that “good” moms don’t take time for themselves…especially working moms who already don’t see their kids a whole lot on weekdays. But as I got worn down, I realized that I need […]
Before I became a mom, there were several things I said I’d never do as a mother. Five years into motherhood and I can tell you: I was a better mom before I had kids. 😉 Do you remember all those times you we’re out and about, childless and naive? When you’d see parents doing […]
I’m a Type A Woman. In case you’re unaware, it basically means I’m insane. 😉 Kind of kidding!! Type A people are generally ambitious, focused, organized, and NEED everything to be perfect. But you know what I’m not? A Type A Mother. That’s right–my whole inner being screams Type A, but when it comes to […]
Well, we did it. Our firstborn child is now officially in KINDERGARTEN. And somehow, we survived the first week. Let me back up for a moment so you can understand my apprehension. It’s not that I was an emotional wreck about my kid going off to school (I wasn’t). It’s that our summer has been […]
