Engage! My full New Year’s resolution is engage with effective boundaries and communication. I tied in my word of the year with one focused resolution this year. My word for 2019 and 2020 were focus and live. What a wild ride 2020 has been. It taught me so much. Here are 10 lessons I learned. Nothing is a […]
Early bird catches the worm
I am not a morning person by nature. I have used this as a crutch for a long time. I now know that just because you aren’t something naturally, does not mean you can’t accomplish your goals. It doesn’t mean you can let your mind win. What exactly do I mean by this statement? Some might say I […]
The Time is Now
The time is now. Starting tomorrow is a myth and not a promise. It is a way of pushing off the present. It is procrastination at it’s finest or worst. When is the right time? There will never be a right time or even a semi-ideal time. I can 100% guarantee that you will fail at 100% of […]
Time to let my hair down
Life has a funny way sometimes of just knocking you over. When I think back to the last few months, I have definitely been on a journey. Over this past summer, I was getting up pretty regularly to run in the morning around 5 am. I felt like my energy level was pretty high, and I was really […]
Breath of fresh air
I just read this article and it is a breath of fresh air. I kind of get into a “must plan everything mode” and it can be exhausting. This article helps to remind me that kids aren’t looking for the perfect craft. My oldest son loves the Brain Quest books I gave him and actually asked if he […]
Happy Friday!
Every Friday for almost five years I have been posting happy Friday photos on my social networks. It is easy to do, and a fun way to kick off the weekend. Every once in a while, I think about how my Friday posts originated. My oldest son was born on a Friday. I started off posting happy Friday, […]
6 months
I’ve been at my job officially 6 months. It has not been a quick 6 months, but I am happy for spring to be just around the corner. My boys are doing really well, and I can’t believe my youngest is 2 years old. My oldest will be 4 in a few months. They play together more and […]
Take time to Relax
Hi everyone! I think it has been ages since I wrote a blog post. I just wanted to write a quick one before I get back to my to do list. I am going back to work on Monday. I am a bit of a stress ball (probably an understatement), but I am excited. Both of my boys […]
Hot Monday
It was a hot one today although I will never complain about it being hot since I lived in Minnesota for five years. Anyway, I took the boys on a walk a little after 8am for about an hour. I knew we would be inside for pretty much the rest of the day. Parenting tip #9 Always plan an […]
Training is the hardest and most rewarding part
I think back to my marathon training days. The real race wasn’t the hardest part. It was actually when I started training with my husband. We had to get back into shape. It wasn’t always very fun or even motivating in the beginning. We weren’t as fast as we wanted to be running. Well, you don’t wake up one […]
