How do you start your mornings? Nowadays, I tend to rise early, at least as often as I can. This hasn\’t always been the case. I used to sleep in in any chance I got and even on work days/school days I would hit the snooze 2 or 3 (or more sometimes). As with ageContinue reading “Why I Rise Early”

Without Faith, It\’s Impossible
I don\’t often talk about my faith or my faith journey. To be honest, I feel so new to it and have felt I needed to learn more, connect more, find a deeper spirituality before I could feel like I had some knowledge. That\’s not to say that I don\’t believe in God, because IContinue reading “Without Faith, It\’s Impossible”
My 2018 Word & Phrase
Every year since 2011, I decide on my word and/phrase for the year. I don\’t do resolutions only because I am always setting goals and the mini goals I need to complete to get there. Once I complete a goal, I build on it and make a new one. But why a word? Or phrase? Continue reading “My 2018 Word & Phrase”
Getting Ready for the New Year
During this week between Christmas and New Years I am taking some time to reflect on 2017 to help see what direction I want to head in for 2018. I have been using quiet time, time with God, journaling, asking questions trying to listen to my heart and get a good idea of where IContinue reading “Getting Ready for the New Year”
Anxiety & Fear ~ Brave Moms, Brave Kids
I got an amazing opportunity last night! Being a part of the Brave Moms, Brave Kids Launch team, I got to be a part of a live book discussion with Lee Nienhuis, author of the book.

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone
After this past week, a long feeling one dealing with sick kiddos, all is mostly back to normal and I can finally take a moment to put my fingers to the keyboard. These past months have brought some interesting changes and have allowed me to step out of my usual comfort zone. I have beenContinue reading “Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone”
Thoughts Over a Steaming Pot of Noodles
Such a simple task, make a pot of noodles and dump the water when cooked. The other day, after like the fifteenth pot of noodles in a week (at least it felt that way), I had the following thought: \”Sure I get facials…but only when I dump the noodle pot out\” How funny and oddContinue reading “Thoughts Over a Steaming Pot of Noodles”
Sometimes You Just Need a Tune Up
The kids and I got to talking today about how sometimes we need a tune up, kind of like a car does. We got on the topic because I was talking about maybe going to the chiropractor. I have been working hard on getting myself into better health. My posture has been a long processContinue reading “Sometimes You Just Need a Tune Up”
Self – Care ~ What Does Mama Need?
How many times have you heard the phrase, \”Be sure to take time for yourself. Self-care is so important, especially once you are a mom.\” I can tell you I have heard it a lot and am hearing it more often. What is self-care? How do I fit it in? What do you do forContinue reading “Self – Care ~ What Does Mama Need?”
Road Trip Anxiety
I will be honest… I get stressed, anxious, and worried about road trips. Didn\’t happen much until I had kids. Even then, after having one kid, road trip adventures didn\’t seem so bad. I even got the nerve up to go on a few on my own. Just my son and I. Granted, the driveContinue reading “Road Trip Anxiety”
