For many people, so much of their blood, sweat, and tears have gone into their careers. When it’s time to start a family, they are inevitably faced with a common theme: how can I do it all? I recently read Lisen Stromberg’s new book, Work, Pause, Thrive: How to Pause for Parenthood Without Killing Your…
I’m Judging You – The Do-Better Manual
I can be a pretty judgy person. I’ve been known to comment in my head when I see a “wrong.” I’m not super proud of it, but at least I’m honest…to myself. Well, now I know I’m not alone in my judgmental thoughts…everyone else is doing it too, and Luvvie Ajayi, of Awesomely Luvvie, has…
Books I’m Reading
I am a huge lover of books. When I was in middle school, my BFF and I would walk from school to the public library. We would quickly finish our homework and then sit down between the shelves of books and find our newest treasure. There’s something about the smell of the paper and bindings…
Midweek Meandering #16
Today is the last day of June and we have successfully made it through 1/3 of summer break. We took a couple quick trips to Orlando…nothing fancy. In recent weeks, it’s been about working on the summer reading assignments that the kids have, going on “hang-outs” with friends (did you know they aren’t “play dates”…
Midweek Meandering #15
It’s officially summer and I am so excited to slow down just a bit…at least with my kids’ jam packed schedules. This is the time for pool and beach days, sleeping in and Netflix marathons! My husband and I just finished Breaking Bad (we know we are a few years late…) and I’m finishing up…
Midweek Meandering #14
I am in complete denial that it’s March! 2016 is almost a 1/4 of the way through…it can’t be real! Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! This is the time the Nag and I has a Seuss-tastic breakfast aboard the Carnival Freedom! I’ve reworked one of my favorite posts…The Corona-Rita. This was one of the first posts…
Midweek Meandering #13
First off, I want to say THANK YOU to the many men & women who have served our great country with bravery and sacrifice. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be free to write on this space or say what I feel. GOD BLESS you all! On a different note, my poor little…
Midweek Meandering (#12)
I know, I know. It’s been a while since I did a Midweek Meandering. It doesn’t mean I haven’t meandered around the internet, I’ve just been too busy to actually write about it. Oh well, such is life! We’ve made it past Halloween and are now getting ready for Thanksgiving….the YUMMIEST of all the holidays!…
Midweek Meandering #11
Another week is halfway through and lots has gone on around here! My husband has a cold. Ladies, you know what that means…someone who is totally useless until the cold is gone! UGH. You would think he’s got the plague. I have become the room mom in “The Nag’s” class. I felt so bad when…
Midweek Meandering #10
This week has be UTTERLY exhausting! My brother-in-law got married over the weekend. Now, I am babysitting my 2 year old nephew for the week. I’ve forgotten what it was like to have a toddler!! Someone who follows you everywhere and needs constant attention. He’s absolutely adorable, but absolutely EXHAUSTING! Not to mention, “The Nag”…
