Working Mom

Big Announcement

Not sure how I did it but it has officially been a month since I gave up coffee. Yes, you read it right. I did not give up caffeine, because I know that would be totally crazy and not worth my while. I decided my coffee creamer was more like a splash of coffee and needed to come […]

Getting ready for the move…

On of my besties gave me this really cool good luck charm. I might just wear it around my neck if I need to (back up plan). I am going to really miss the great people I have gotten to know here in Omaha. My family and I have only lived here for about 17 months, but I […]

Week one of work out challenge

It was a success! I already have so much more energy. I know it’s only been a week, but I know I can maintain this. If I can train for a marathon, I can definitely manage to squeeze in 30 minute work outs. It might be a little tricky with the upcoming move, but I know I will […]

Birthday Fun

Today was my oldest son’s 4th birthday. I have to admit, it was a stellar day. My husband and I took off of work to spend the day with just him at the zoo. It has been a while since he had real time just with Momma and Dadda. He had so much fun. We definitely wore him […]

Work out challenge

I am going to try and squeeze in 30 minutes on the elliptical 5 times a week. I am also going to try and do some free yoga videos. My goal is to get into more of a work out routine before July. Not sure how often I will do those. I know, I need to set up […]

Enjoy the little moments

Sometimes I just sit back and absorb the little moments when everyone is happy and laughing. If you don’t, you might by accident see a shoe flying at your face and forget that everyone was happy a second ago. My oldest dropped a shoe down the stairs yesterday and it landed on my face. He didn’t aim for […]

Food for thought…

This is a good way to think about stress. I think this statement below will help me as my family and I prepare for our move. No, I don’t like moving and yes it is stressful. I guess I can be happy that this is a short term stress. 

Time to relax

I actually managed to lounge for five whole minutes today on a hammock at work. It seemed like an eternity, but it was amazing. Checked that off my bucket list.We live in a “busy” world, but I decided I could manage those five minutes. Maybe I will do that more often.  I think the world would be a […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day. It was a very nice weekend. I got to talk and FaceTime with my mom and my mother-in-law.  Hard to believe it’s already May! It seems like my time left in Omaha is kind of running out. I am excited about the move and nervous as well. Hopefully I will […]

Stop and appreciate

Sometimes you just need to take a breather and appreciate all of the wonderful things you having gone on in your life. It is so easy to get swept away in to do list or waiting to get responses back from people.  I am taking a quick walk at work. I really am so lucky to have such […]
