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 […]

Last Yoga Class 

Well, I was supposed to have my last yoga class today, but it ended up being cancelled. I was really looking forward to it. I feel like my stress level has changed dramatically since I started doing it. The tension I was carrying around in my shoulders, back, and neck has significantly decreased. My family and I have […]

Don’t forget about yourself 

I saw this image on Facebook, and it is a great reminder. When I went back to work seven months ago, I was so consumed with balancing all of the change of moving to a new city, worrying about my boys (even the biggest boy getting used to his new job) adjusting to a whole new work environment […]

Time doesn’t stop

It’s so crazy how fast time goes by, and I just can’t believe it’s almost mid April. It’s funny how my boys are getting older, but I never do.  Anyway, I have been thinking about how precious time really is and how my concept/grasp of it has changed since I have had kids.  I am trying to really […]

Lessons Learned

The last few months have been pretty intense. This move to Omaha has been filled with ups and downs. I have learned some pretty important life lessons. I’ll say the most important ones have been the hardest ones to learn/accept. I have learned that change happens, and  that worrying and stressing about it really doesn’t add value. I […]

Happy first birthday!

I can’t believe it was a year ago that I started my blog. Well, I can’t say I have been a rockstar with posts on a frequent basis, but I have had a few things going on so I won’t dwell on it. Anyway, it has been a crazy year of changes, and I think this year might […]
