Today started off pretty well. I was snuggling with my boys. We just moved into our new house. I get a little disoriented and fatigued by the physical change of moving to a new house. Most people might think I am a pro at moving by now, but I am probably one of the worst types of people […]
Plan less, Play more
I needed to read this article today. I am a big offender of planning and over planning. (Just ask my husband about our trip to San Fran before kids were in the picture. I don’t think I gave ourselves a moment of down time the entire trip, oops!) Now I feel like a weight has been taken off […]
Create your village
Well, it’s Monday morning, and I am about to start my new job. I have a little bit of time before I go into my new office. There is a Starbucks near where I work so you can take a guess as to where I am right now. I don’t plan on making a habit out of this, […]
Easter Egg fun!
Well, we had a blast tonight. It is so fun to go to events like this with the boys. I try to soak in every moment. It’s times like this that I realize how fast the last few years have flown by, and I know they probably will continue to go even faster. We are excited to visit […]
Family
All I can say is that social media definitely can help bring people together or at least provide the initial connection. I feel very appreciative and happy to know that I have more family out in the world. I have a pretty substantial family tree to add to my Lewis electronic family tree. I always knew I had […]
Relocating and Unemployment PSA
Well, I felt like I needed to share my knowledge about unemployment since I have moved so many times. If you relocate due to a spouses job, you should qualify for unemployment (factoring in how long you worked etc.). You pay into unemployment so it makes sense to use it. You file in the state you moved from, […]
Time for Fitness
Working out on a regular basis feels so good. It can be so hard to get back into a routine, but I know how good it feels. I don’t plan on running any marathons in the near future, but I feel pretty good. Okay, I don’t know if I’ll run any 5ks in the near future either. When […]
March Madness
One of the best times of the year. My school didn’t make the tournament but let’s be honest, I don’t watch much television. If I do, it is Wild Kratts or Curious George etc. We still manage to get excited. Of course I had to try a Shamrock Mocha shake. The boys and I were decked out […]
I promise…
I promise it will get easier. I have been there. I have moved 4 times in 4 years with two boys who are under 5 without family near by. I have had moments of failure and moments when I just thought wow, this is so hard. I have heard other people say unintentionally how happy they were to […]
Critical thinking, a learned skill
You aren’t born with critical thinking skills. As we get older, I think we really start to understand how much we don’t know. We question the world around us, and we grow from our experiences (if we are lucky enough to not be so stubborn.) I understand that everyone has their own perspective. I have learned that being […]
