The little things

Trying to keep my sanity through this moving process while also adjusting to my new part time job (I’m probably not always the most pleasant of people, but I’m trying to stay positive and focused on the finish line.) Can’t wait for it all to be over, but I am trying to stop and enjoy the little things.  […]

The 3 months and loving it

Well, it’s official. We have lived here now 3 whole months. I have to say that I absolutely love it here. I feel like we have been so welcomed here. The boys have adapted so well, and they are loving their new school. We are all doing super well. My mom’s club is fantastic, and my part-time job […]

Great weekend

What a fantastic weekend with all of my dudes. My hubby and I had s much needed date night. Nothing fancy, but I dressed up because I wanted to wear something nice. The boys had fun at a parent’s night out gymnastics event. Today was so nice outside, and we had a blast at a baseball game. I’m […]

Maybe I’ll read my book..

Well, I read. I read a lot of books. They just have lots of pictures. Most of them are written by Dr. Seuss to be in fact. As for the Disney books, they are a good read as well. I do find myself analyzing all of the children’s books I read my boys. Why do so many of […]

Happy Friday!

Every Friday for almost five years I have been posting happy Friday photos on my social networks. It is easy to do, and a fun way to kick off the weekend.  Every once in a while, I think about how my Friday posts originated. My oldest son was born on a Friday. I started off posting happy Friday, […]

Judge less, empathize more

I find the older I get, the more I realize how pointless it is to judge others. Do I know what it’s truly like to live someone else’s life? Do I understand their struggles or hopes and dreams? Additionally, I find myself wanting to distance myself from others who focus on the flaws of others. It is interesting […]

Getting ready for the moveĀ 

Wow, time is really flying by fast now. Even with going away parties and my replacement starting this past week at work, I am not sure it’s really hit me yet. I am excited and nervous about the new adventure in Chicago. I think once I have my last day at work and my boys have their last […]

Week one of work out challenge

It was a success! I already have so much more energy. I know it’s only been a week, but I know I can maintain this. If I can train for a marathon, I can definitely manage to squeeze in 30 minute work outs. It might be a little tricky with the upcoming move, but I know I will […]

Birthday Fun

Today was my oldest son’s 4th birthday. I have to admit, it was a stellar day. My husband and I took off of work to spend the day with just him at the zoo. It has been a while since he had real time just with Momma and Dadda. He had so much fun. We definitely wore him […]

Work out challenge

I am going to try and squeeze in 30 minutes on the elliptical 5 times a week. I am also going to try and do some free yoga videos. My goal is to get into more of a work out routine before July. Not sure how often I will do those. I know, I need to set up […]
