I’ve been thinking about a “word of the year” for the past several days. Nothing was really sticking. I toyed with the idea of appreciation – to focus on what I have in front of me, appreciate my life for what it is etc. But after a day or two, of rolling around in my… [Read More]
I am thankful
It’s been a crazy few months. I have felt a lot of stress, and I’ve yelled and cried more than normal. But I’m okay. We’re all okay. And for that, I am thankful. When you’re in the thick of change, as things are constantly evolving and shifting, it’s hard to focus on the good that is in… [Read More]
Sitting in discomfort
We’re not in a comfortable place right now. In other words, transitions are hard. And we’re going through a lot of them. #1. Kindergarten We started off with a BANG. My little cutie loved school and was making lots of new friends. Every day was a new name and some new song to sing. Then… [Read More]
There goes a piece of my heart
I thought I’d be fine. We’ve been talking about kindergarten and planning all summer long. We had your book bag and lunch box all picked out and ready to go. I wasn’t even home when you went to bed last night. But when I got home, I crept in your room and watched you sleep. I… [Read More]
One last summer fling
It’s been a crazy few weeks. I know I haven’t been around much, but if I’m being honest, I’ve been barely holding my head above water, so neglecting this blog was the easiest thing to do. We have several house projects going on, which is both exciting and incredibly stressful. Right now it’s complete and utter chaos, but… [Read More]
We’re all wearing war paint
I just can’t anymore. Every time I open up my computer or pull up something on my phone, it’s negative. There is constantly some sort of war. Mommy wars. Political wars. Blogging wars. ACTUAL wars. It’s too much. Is there a deserted island I can run off too? As much as I am grateful to be… [Read More]
Jet Lag and Inspiration…my thoughts on Mom 2
Apparently I have to adult today. I don’t want to. Instead, I want to crawl back under the covers and not come out again for a few days. I’m in denial that life is waiting for me outside my bedroom door. The kids have to go to school. The laundry (eventually) has to get done. There… [Read More]
Nice isn’t a four letter word
I was scrolling through my inbox last week and a subject line caught my eye. It was a simple question but one that spoke volumes to me. Is Your Kindness Viewed As Weakness? I usually delete the emails from Marie Forleo (then why subscribe you ask? No idea) but instead I actually took the time to read… [Read More]
A first for me in over seven years
So something amazing happened this weekend. I got to be home alone…in my house. I know this may not sound like a big deal to some of you. Don’t I work from home? Yes, I am alone in my house four days a week. But that’s not time for me. That’s time for work, cleaning,… [Read More]
Small Business Spotlight: KEEP Collective
This week the spotlight is on me and the business I launched in January – KEEP Collective. When I signed up, it was COMPLETELY out of character for me. I’m not a sales person. You know those people that could talk to a wall and it would probably talk back? That is not me. Sales make… [Read More]
