Ugh… when will these dreary, rainy days end? Spring, Texas is NOT known for yucky weather like we are having. It is known for sunny, big, blue Texas skies…It’s been raining and cold for almost 10 days! Ok, I realized how wimpy that sounded. WOW…10 whole days of winter bleck… haha. I admit it, I’m a baby.

Balance
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.

Rethinking the Lunch Box
This morning when I was packing my kids lunch boxes it got me thinking. Every morning I make sure to pack them nutritional lunches that will get them through the second half of their day.

Forcing Balance!!!
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!!!
