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 […]
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 […]
3 years later
Wow, it’s been three years since I left Minnesota. It is hard for me to wrap my head around this. I truly miss the people and the awesome summer weather. Time is a funny thing. Sometimes it seems to go by at snail’s pace and other times it goes by so fast you want to try and catch […]
Read more in 2018
It’s way too cold for me to want to run outside this morning so I am working out on the elliptical. I am also reading a fascinating book. Even if you don’t have kids or your kids are older, I think this is a great book. I have been meaning to get started on this library book I […]
‘‘Tis the Season for Stress
I love this time of the year but it can be stressful. We have had a lot of people over and hosted a holiday party. We are on the go most of the time, and when we aren’t, things are still busy. Also, I have had some job interviews which adds some fun stress into the mix. Of […]
Working out has been a struggle
Trying to work out with any sort of routine has been hard for me. I guess I should just focus on the fact that I am trying at least. I would really like to work out early in the morning, and I do sometimes. I am signed up for a 5k in October, and I definitely think this […]
6 months in Omaha
Hard to believe but 6 months yesterday, my family moved to Omaha, Nebraska. Our house in Minnesota was empty. We were very sad to leave our friends and our new house. I definitely tried not to think about all of that because I knew it would be very hard. It was winter time, and we started off on […]
The weekend is over
Just like that the weekend is over. Not sure how it is already the end of July. I did get a few things done this weekend. My oldest son made a pretty sweet visor too. We definitely had fun with the boys. We also watched Gone Girl. What a great movie. Excited for our upcoming trip to visit […]
Not enough hours in the day
I have decided there aren’t enough hours in the day. I just think I could get so much more done if there were 10 extra hours in the day. Well, I think that would solve all my problems but somehow, I think if I had a 34 hour day, I probably would want even more hours. I think the […]
