Your intention was to start the year off with a bang. You made all the necessary plans to ensure that this was going to be the year that you made big changes and saw big results. Does this sound familiar? Even if you’re one of the masses that isn’t on track at this point, (don’t[…]
It’s Day 8 of my 100 days of blogging. I’ve successfully completed one full week of posting a blog post day! In all the years I’ve had this blog, I’ve never done a blog post for 7 days straight! I’d say 100 days of blogging is going good!! Yay me! But there is still so[…]
In the hustle and bustle of our lives, we often forget to take a few minutes to realize how blessed we are. I just finished a book recently called The Magic so todays post was scheduled to be about this book and keeping a gratitude journal. But I found myself struggling to write it thinking[…]
What is it about having a senior in high school that has me feeling all the emotional feels. I think this may have me more worked up and emotional than when she started kindergarten. Perhaps because its the end of a season of parenting where when they start school you still have them at home.[…]
Let’s face it, most of us could do with increasing the amount of water we drink. Unless of course you’re one of the lucky ones who actually loves drinking water and doesn’t struggle with this like I do! Chugging down energy drinks and coffee might make it easier to get through a rough day juggling[…]

I like adding to to things like smoothies, oatmeal and even homemade granola! Find all kinds of pumpkin[…]
Thought I’d start out todays post with a quote…because if you know me at all, you know I love sharing positivity. A new week is upon us! I thought I’d share some thoughts about why we procrastinate to start something. You know how sometimes you’re not really in the mood to do something until it[…]
How birthday countdowns started for us Its 2020…and the pandemic has been going on for several months. Jason’s 50th birthday was coming up and we knew that a big 50th birthday celebration wasn’t going to happen. So how else can you ring in becoming a half a century old? How about a birthday countdown! Tik[…]
100 days until 2023 Well here we are…today starts the 100 days countdown to 2023. It’s a year that seemed so far off when I became a mom in 2005 and when my 1st daughter started kindergarten in 2010. Now here we are at the countdown to when she graduates high school and goes off[…]
I never want to be that mom. I was waiting in line at one of my favorite fabric stores last week getting fabric for The Scrunchie Sisters and overheard the lady in front of me chatting it up with the cashier. I couldnt help but hear her say “I haven’t sewn anything in like 34[…]
Call it what you will…but we were not successful completing 75Hard this time around. And I’m ok with it! Its not an easy challenge to complete and it takes a LOT of commitment to be 100% with each of the 5 core activities. Read more about 75Hard HERE. I can’t go through the rest[…]
Consistency is key. I think a lot of times when people start something new…whether its working on your health, starting a side hustle to make extra money, keeping up with your household chores/projects….we start off strong and then somewhere a long the way we get off track. Anyone relate? It happens to us all![…]
I guess it was time to get a colonoscopy At my annual doctors visit earlier this year, (it had been a few years with COVID) I was told that the new recommended age to get a colonoscopy was 45. Since I’m inching close to 50, I thought I’d go ahead and get one scheduled. At[…]
Diabetes Update It’s been a little over a month since that ER visit and Jason’s T2 Diabetes diagnosis. Read about what I’m talking about HERE Thought I’d give you bit of of an update on how things were going! Now I will preface this by saying we are NOT experts on diabetes and only sharing the[…]
It’s been a week to the day… Jason hadn’t been feeling 100% the past few months but he chalked it up to just being tired, not sleeping well, needing to lose a few pounds and stress. But the last month or so he started losing weight (like sometimes 2 pounds a day) without really trying. […]
One of my absolute favorite things about Fall is pumpkins! Pumpkin patches, pumpkin painting and carving, pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie, pumpkin decor…allll the things. And another awesome thing about pumpkins is all the health benefits. Did you know they are quite the powerhouse when it comes to nutrients?! Here’s what you find in pumpkin…Fiber: Great[…]
