Not a Morning Mom

Please stop comparing yourself to other moms. Yes, I am a hypocrite, but I am getting better at not focusing on what others appear to do better than me. Why do I ask of this favor? We are never comparing apples to apples. Kids have different personalities, kids are different ages etc. I could go on and on […]

Well, my oldest survived his first two days of Kindergarten. He loves it so far, and his teacher seems amazing. So proud of my boys and how much they have learned and taught me in the last few years. I know my kiddos learn by example, so I am doing my best to stay strong with all of […]

Well, today was not my best day so far, but I ran 4 miles. I hopefully sweat all of my frustrations out. Some people do hot yoga. Not me, I run probably with a not so happy face. There is construction work going on all around my house, but I don't care. I run anyway. Why? I have […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
