It\’s Okay to Break, It\’s Okay to Cry

Here we are, 4 days away from Christmas.  And oddly enough, my most recent post was about the magic of Christmas.  Maybe not oddly, maybe more ironic, but a few days to prior to today were not my finest. After what seems like months of dealing with same negative behaviors that seem like no matterContinue reading “It\’s Okay to Break, It\’s Okay to Cry”

Believe in the Magic of Christmas

  There is something truly magical about this time of year.  For those of you who know me well, I have been choosing a word a month since about February.  I use this word to guide me through the month.  I also pick a word for the year or theme, and even do some wordContinue reading “Believe in the Magic of Christmas”

Season of Gratitude

As we get closer to Thanksgiving, we tend to show our gratitude more and more.  Letting ourselves focus throughout November, we create a one a day post of what we are grateful until the end of the month or even a photo a day challenge of what we are grateful for or even find aContinue reading “Season of Gratitude”

Saying Goodbye is Hard ~ Loosing a Pet

About a week ago we found ourselves faced with saying goodbye to one of our beloved kitties.  Izzers had been a part of our family for 12 years.  She passed away, in the middle of the night, unexpectedly. She had no issues that were known.  But we believe that being a fourteen year old cat,Continue reading “Saying Goodbye is Hard ~ Loosing a Pet”

Find Your Groove

 Sometimes you just gotta find your groove. That picture on the top of the post, that is me, mid workout, getting my groove on dancing to get some good cardio in for the day. When you dance, you find your groove, your rhythm.  But that groove, that rhytum is something that you can take throughoutContinue reading “Find Your Groove”

Let\’s Talk Goals

We are half way through 2018.  Midway through is a good time to take a look any goals that you set at the start of the year. How do you set your goals?  Track them?  How often do they get forgotten about?  I will admit, I set goals.  It is what I do.  I likeContinue reading “Let\’s Talk Goals”

Take the Time ~ Savor the Moment ~ Go on the Adventure

My kiddos knew strawberry season was coming up and were looking forward to the chance to go and pick our own.  We were able to go this past weekend.  Saturday, the day was hot and opted for an adventure to Sillwater because of timing once everyone was ready for the day.  So Sunday looked moreContinue reading “Take the Time ~ Savor the Moment ~ Go on the Adventure”

Seperation Anxiety, Toddlers, & Only Wanting Mama

My youngest has been going through a separation anxiety phase.  I didn\’t realize that at this age they would still have phases like this.  I will be honest, I don\’t remember my oldest going through it, but then again we had just moved and had a newborn. I was still possible he went through it,Continue reading “Seperation Anxiety, Toddlers, & Only Wanting Mama”

Toddlers, Travel, Sleep & Simplifying

When you overthink things and it gets more complicated sometimes you just need to listen to a 2 1/2 year old to simplify things. You see my youngest is still in a crib at home.  He has plenty of space in it and still sleeps well.  Our hope and intent is to use it untilContinue reading “Toddlers, Travel, Sleep & Simplifying”
