The last year has made it clear that there are some things I just don’t need. I’ve been going through my closet to let go of clothes I haven’t worn in years – yes, years. I already gave away boxes of shoes. Some were brand new. Hindsight, I probably should have sold them. 2020 got […] Read more…

Where have I Been
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve shared in this space. It wasn’t intentional. There are so many blog posts in draft mode that I wasn’t short on content. What I was short on was energy. Like you, I’ve been plowing away over the last year or so with being mom, wife, teacher and employee. […] Read more…
7 Habits You Need to Shake
Every now and then I have to tell my kids to sit down and just be still. They are really good at going from one thing to the next without taking a beat in between. It’s watch this show, do this thing on the computer, play this video game and then pick up the tablet […] Read more…

I’ve heard Valentine’s Day describe as Single Awareness Day and I’ve heard people complain that it’s just a set up to get you to overspend in a materialistic show of love. My husband and I don’t make a huge deal out of it but we always do something. At the same time, I’m all for […] Read more…
Allow me to Re-Introduce Myself
I’ve been blogging since 2011. It seems like it might be a good time to re-introduce myself. I can’t even believe that I’ve been online that long. My original blog was started after I became a Mom. It was called Bibs and Baubles. I was seeking to connect with other Moms because most of my […] Read more…
Apparently, I’m hopeful… I made a vision board
