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."

Week 6 ~ My TO ‘not’ Do list
Gosh what a week! I apologize for getting our weekly challenge out so late this week, but it goes perfectly with this weeks challenge. Sometimes I have to put my TO DO list down and make a 'NOT to do' list...and that my friends in a nutshell is this weeks challenge. What can you put on hold? put down for a minute? put off? put away? As women, we generally have a million TO DO lists going … [Read more...] about Week 6 ~ My TO ‘not’ Do list
Week 5 ~ My Faves list

Week 3 Challenge – Soul Treats
Today I did NOTHING! Well half of the day, anyways. Not A Thing!!! I love Wednesdays because it’s usually my day “off”. I give myself permission to stay in my pajamas until at least noon. I don’t answer the phone. I don’t reply to email. I don’t post on facebook. At noon, I finally got up and got ready for the day. I was singing to my IPOD and enjoying my “me” time. After I was showered … [Read more...] about Week 3 Challenge – Soul Treats
