Traveling Light

July 23, 2009 by Carmalyn

We just returned from our summer vacation.  It used to be that each summer our vacation time was spent visiting my family in the Chicago area.  Although we loved our visits there, we decided 3 years ago it was time to start exploring the fifty nifty United States with the kids.  So, we started a new summer tradition of seeing the states. Our first expedition was to Durango, CO via New Mexico.  … [Read more...] about Traveling Light

Forcing Balance!!!

June 2, 2009 by Carmalyn

Too busy, too busy, too busy! I am a fan of "abundance", but not in my schedule!  I feel a bit overwhelmed with all that is going on the next 10 days.  If you read my May Madness blog, you already know that my month of May is soooo crazy.  As a mom of two school aged children it seems almost impossible in the month of May to keep my sanity.  There are so many overlaps in schedules, activities, … [Read more...] about Forcing Balance!!!

Maybe it’s YOU?!

May 21, 2009 by Carmalyn

Wow, how's that for a title?  I was just thinking, do you know anyone who is always just filled with D.R.A.M.A.?  You know, the kind of lady who enters every meeting or conversation with "You'll never believe what I've just been through...".  I like to consider myself as having a very HIGH joy filter, and usually can find myself in the company of others who seek JOY vs. Stress.  However, every now … [Read more...] about Maybe it’s YOU?!

May 14, 2009 by Carmalyn

My husband is an avid sports fan.  Every year he gets so excited for March Madness.  He loves the exciting schedule of college basketball and all of the chaos it brings on.  Soon March ends and it's wonderful April (birthday fun) and then like a slap in the face comes the event that all moms dread!  May Madness!  May Madness is the month with chaos, overlapping schedules, overlapping sports … [Read more...] about May Madness – the new mommy sport!

Forget about the finish line

April 28, 2009 by Carmalyn

When I was a mom with young kids I remember different times when I thought "phew, we crossed the finish line!"  Times like these: both kids finished with diapers! Both kids finished with naps! Both kids in full time school! Both kids sleeping in on the weekends!  These are monumental times as a mom with young kids when you think, hooray I made it to the finish line.  Lately though I started … [Read more...] about Forget about the finish line

Letting Go of Control

April 24, 2009 by Carmalyn

  Recently I brought my daughter to a scrap-booking retreat with me.  Normally these events are reserved for some "me" time, but my friend and I decided to bring our daughters with us.  I kept trying to print ouy photos that week to have ready for her to scrap, but for some reason it failed over and over.  So we were left to just bring the photos we already had in our box. The dilemma was … [Read more...] about Letting Go of Control

200 + Friends??? Seriously???

April 17, 2009 by Carmalyn

When I first heard about Facebook, I didn't understand what it was about.  I only "joined" because I wanted to see my friend's profile and to do that you have to be a member.  So began the whirlwind addiction. I guess I have been on FB since September of '08.  When I first started looking around I saw many of my old high school friends had accounts and we became "friends".  I noticed that some … [Read more...] about 200 + Friends???
