I spend a lot of time talking about being PRESENT; especially as a mom. The idea of being in the MOMent has never meant so much to me as a mom as it does right this minute… When my kids were little, I mean like diapers-and-naps- little, women would always approach me and say, “Oh dearie, enJOY this MOMent… it goes by so fast.” Many times I would look at them and be like… REALLY?

Results of my week long media fast.
I decided it was time to unplug from EVERYTHINIG for a while to just feel reconnected to ME and MY world. As of 5 p.m. on Sunday I signed off of Facebook, instagram, twitter (which to be honest I still don’t understand!) snapchat, words with friends, Netflix and my tv. My goal was simple....

I love how many days the sun shines in Texas, far more than it did in the Chicago and … [Read more...] about pushing through blah
Ahhhhhhhhh.
School is officially back in session. One full week to be exact. It's funny, I found myself deeply sighing many times this past week. I think I was holding my breath all summer. Just rushing around. Not really going anywhere, just rushing around to get the kids here and there... and there and here... and over there. and over here. Now, all is right with the world again. My kids are … [Read more...] about Ahhhhhhhhh.

I love it. I love it. I love it! NEW beginnings... not necessarily new resolutions, just new beginnings. I love how everyone yesterday said goodbye to the old... and are ready to anticipate the new. New hopes. New dreams. New plans. First things first. I slept in... ahhhhhhh hello sleep! Then I got up ate a healthy breakfast and cleaned my room. Opened the windows (yes, I live in … [Read more...] about twenty twelve
