‘‘Tis the Season for Stress

I love this time of the year but it can be stressful. We have had a lot of people over and hosted a holiday party. We are on the go most of the time, and when we aren’t, things are still busy. Also, I have had some job interviews which adds some fun stress into the mix. 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, […]

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 […]

Last Yoga Class 

Well, I was supposed to have my last yoga class today, but it ended up being cancelled. I was really looking forward to it. I feel like my stress level has changed dramatically since I started doing it. The tension I was carrying around in my shoulders, back, and neck has significantly decreased. My family and I have […]

Don’t forget about yourself 

I saw this image on Facebook, and it is a great reminder. When I went back to work seven months ago, I was so consumed with balancing all of the change of moving to a new city, worrying about my boys (even the biggest boy getting used to his new job) adjusting to a whole new work environment […]

Time doesn’t stop

It’s so crazy how fast time goes by, and I just can’t believe it’s almost mid April. It’s funny how my boys are getting older, but I never do.  Anyway, I have been thinking about how precious time really is and how my concept/grasp of it has changed since I have had kids.  I am trying to really […]

Lessons Learned

The last few months have been pretty intense. This move to Omaha has been filled with ups and downs. I have learned some pretty important life lessons. I’ll say the most important ones have been the hardest ones to learn/accept. I have learned that change happens, and  that worrying and stressing about it really doesn’t add value. I […]

Happy first birthday!

I can’t believe it was a year ago that I started my blog. Well, I can’t say I have been a rockstar with posts on a frequent basis, but I have had a few things going on so I won’t dwell on it. Anyway, it has been a crazy year of changes, and I think this year might […]

Happy Thanksgiving

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. It has been a year of change so far, life hasn’t been perfect or always easy, but my family and I are happy and healthy.  Jackson just had tubes in today and it went well. I am going to try to start blogging more often. Life has been […]

Off the grid

Hi everyone!  Well, I haven’t written a blog post in forever. It isn’t easy staying on top of this with my new job. I did manage to lose weight after I started working. Probably a good thing I don’t stress eat. Not enough time for that. I am starting to feel more comfortable and settled at work.   I […]
