The Real Test
We all have days (weeks, months) that we just aren’t that motivated. Often I am motivated to work out and do what needs to be done ONLY because of the feeling after the fact. I know I’ll feel great once I work out. I know I’ll feel better if I just get off my butt… Continue reading

WonderFull Wednesday: Down Time
No, I didn’t say Downton. Although I am very thankful (and obsessed) with that too! If you haven’t caught Downton Abbey yet, you simply must! It’s such great brain candy! What I am thankful for is down time. Every evening when the minions are tucked in bed, I get to just breathe. I sit with… Continue reading

Parenting: Are We Over Thinking It?
I’ve been told that I “read too much” or “think too much” or “worry too much” when it comes to parenting. Not by anyone person, but in general – by a couple of people. Shaking their heads from side to side with that look that says “there’s just too much information out there”. We read books,… Continue reading

Wonder-Full Wednesday: Learning
In this gratitude experiment, I find that I am consciously looking for things for which to be grateful, since I know this little Wednesday project of mine comes around every week. This one has been brewing for awhile…. Currently, while writing and still on a bit of a learning curve with my Mac, I decided… Continue reading

To The Military Community
I didn’t get it for a long time. My husband is the social one. I ALWAYS have a great time when we go places and attend parties or other such work functions, but my nature is to be more of a homebody. Putting myself out there, having “witty repartee” with strangers while not simultaneously spilling… Continue reading

Inspiration
I’ve been told that things I’ve done or written about have been inspirational. This has been said to me numerous times. It has me thinking about what I’ve done that’s really all that exceptional. I always think to myself when I hear this is, “Well, if I can do it, so can anyone!” Perhaps because… Continue reading

Wonder-Full Wednesday: General Anesthesia Edition
So this week, along with moving and accepting a writing gig, we also had both kids in to see the dentist. Of course in our house, the dentist visits are quite the ordeal. So much so, that they both had to go under general anesthesia for their procedures. Oy. Reading the list of possible complications… Continue reading

Wonder and Grattitude
As we gear up to move I find myself more and more excited. I love to move. Really. Yes, it’s a headache, yes, it’s even more of a trauma with kiddos, but I still love it. Taking the time to review belongings, purging what is no longer needed, cleaning and gearing up for the big… Continue reading

Downsizing, Reorganizing, Purging, Moving and Other Things I’m Grateful For
I love a new year. I love the clean slate feeling. Perhaps it’s not just the clean slate, but more spring being on the horizon. (And yes, you can have a “clean slate” every day – no need to wait until “monday”, “tomorrow”, “next month” or even a new year.) For me, that clean slate… Continue reading

Miles and Other Stuff
I did it. I set a goal this year to do what a friend of mine had accomplished a couple of years ago when I was just starting out on this crazy fitness journey. I remember thinking that her milage was just crazy! How could anyone with 2 legs really run that much in a… Continue reading
