Facing a Fear…Anxiety

I have lots of anxiety which I know that many, many people suffer from or spend their lives trying to cope or battle it. I do a decent job controlling but recently I had to fly to California (about a 5-hour flight) and I really struggled the first 2 hours on the plane but madeContinue reading “Facing a Fear…Anxiety”

No one will give you time…

“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” ― Marthe Troly-Curtin, Phrynette Married I spend a lot of time reading (as you might notice via my blog postings) but I also read a lot about self-development, parenting, organizing time, empowerment, giving myself and others grace, etc. The list could go on and on. I amContinue reading “No one will give you time…”

Talk About Slowing Me Down…

I have never broken a bone nor has anyone in my family. Don’t get me wrong, as a kid, I did a lot of dump stuff but I never got seriously hurt. I have never used a wheel chair or crutches nor has my kids (yet). So, we have been pretty fortunate. However, this pastContinue reading “Talk About Slowing Me Down…”

Gardening and the local gang of bunnies

I don’t have a “green thumb”. I rarely can keep anything besides a cactus or succulent plant alive in my house for more than 2 months. However, I do like to garden (or attempt to) with my kids.

I Stepped on the Scales Today…

Today, at the local wellness center, I decided to step on the scales. Like what you use at the doctor’s office. I normally would take off every piece of clothing possible and shoes, hoping to lessen the load. I know this has little impact but makes me feel better. Those types of scales hide nothing.

It’s true, I have a couple of addictions. Step 1 is to confront the addiction which means to admit that I have one (or a couple). So, my addictions include: Starbucks coffee, Jcrew clothing, and organizing (everything). There, I admit it. This blog post will focus on how I organize my home and life.

Traveling Alone Isn’t For Sissies

IRELAND 2016 This quote is from Hope Floats (the movie) but instead, in the movie, the line is “Dinning alone isn’t for sissies.” Agree, doing anything alone, for some people, can be hard. But I crave time alone, I need it to recharge, to think, to clear my head. I took a trip to IrelandContinue reading “Traveling Alone Isn’t For Sissies”

Are We Over Medicating Our Kids?

As I was helping check kids in for a summer camp, I noticed the line for the nurse continued to grow longer and longer. Even after we were done checking in around 250 kids (ages 9-12) the nurses line was still 30 people deep. Each one had a zip lock bag with not one, butContinue reading “Are We Over Medicating Our Kids?”
