Sorry guys this one is a bit long to get to a short point but background information was needed. After my first daughter I did pretty well emotionally, it might have something to do with the fact that at 5 months post partum I was pregnant again. All of those hormones that were starting to fall […]
My planner is sooo much more than my schedule…in fact its barely my schedule. Really, its my brain. In bright pretty colors I layout my bills, to-do lists for the day, workouts, meals, blog posts/designs and so much more. Colors not only make it more fun, they help me organize Orange-Appointments/Places to be Purple and […]
I am a people pleaser. I know that I’m a people pleaser and yet for the last humm 6 months? a year? I’ve run myself completely ragged and now in a time that should be amazingly happy (hubby got a new job) I find myself falling apart. I’ve pushed myself too far for too long […]
Writing this statement was no small undertaking for me. Its a concept I learned from Chalene Johnson’s 30 Day Push (a free training FYI. ) I half wrote it several times but I finally got the whole thing done and just in time to help me make a very big decision. My number one priority […]
I heard an interesting thought the other day on the Phil Visher podcast in relation to the ‘dresses’ on the red carpet. “I wonder if Stars would get more attention if they showed up fully clothed.” That might not be the word for word quote but the point is there.

We all know that life changes when you have kids, but one of the areas I never thought about was when I was sick…. Well that hit full force yesterday. Its one thing to have a cold and just not feel good its a whole other thing to have a 24 hr stomach bug that […]
I’m noticing a trend today (Tuesday) in my e-mails/devotions/podcasts, I think God is trying to tell me something today and I thought I would share incase you need to hear it too. I am in charge of my attitude, no one else. I am NOT in charge of anyone else’s attitude. The first time this […]
Note: This post took me a few weeks to write, I completed it yesterday at work and then last night we had another ‘bump in the road.’ After dealing with that as best as we could we got to enjoy a few moments of our girls laughing and giggling together sitting on the rocking chair. […]
Sometimes you just feel like you need a reset. December was an incredibly stressful month and I’ll admit we let it defeat us. We were snippy and taking our frustrations out on each other. It wasn’t our finest moment. Since the new year we have seemed to be turning around and I think the other day we […]
