I miss the days of little ones needing MaMa... My kids are nearly 13 & 15... my "little" boy is nearing 6 feet tall, and sure he can do it all... but occasionally he needs his MaMa... Today when I woke him up he said he didn't feel well. As a mom, I always feel like I need to challenge that to make sure it's not about missing something at school ~ like a test or homework not done etc. (yes, a … [Read more...] about Getting it done

In January of this year I started drinking coffee. I have NEVER had even one single cup in my life until January 17th, 2012. Short story is (b/c that’s not really the point of this blog J ) that I needed the caffeine b/c I gave up all diet soda and diet powder drinks. So now every morning I brew myself a cup of coffee. First I notice the smell when I open my canister. It’s so rich and … [Read more...] about Change Your Filter
Spreading Kindness
My whole life I have been a volunteer-kind-of-gal. As a matter of fact, after I graduated college from Marquette University I packed my bags and moved to Texas to be a small part of a great organization ~ The Jesuit Volunteer Corps. I lived in the inner city of Houston, with 7 others and worked in an inner city school doing drop out prevention counseling. I loved my year and I met some of the … [Read more...] about Spreading Kindness

The return of the hug
I am a few short months away from having 2 teenagers! What?! *sigh* When we became parents we always from day one, had a great bedtime routine for the kids. For a good ten years or so it included reading night time books, singing little songs, big hugs and kisses then a tickle and a tuck in. Slowly as the kids started growing up, pieces of the good night routine have fallen by the wayside… … [Read more...] about The return of the hug

This week's word challenge for the 52 week challenge, is CREATE! Well, create... I did :) This challenge was perfectly timed. I spent Sunday afternoon talking to a group of beautiful 7th grade girls. Their sponsor had asked if I would do a talk on self confidence. I love this age! My talk focused on "words" we put in our head. I spent the afternoon challenging them to believe in … [Read more...] about 5:52 Create
4:52 Rest
I had to post this photo of my new kitties when I found out the word of the week was "Rest". These kitties remind me over and over that the key to health is play hard, sleep hard! I have been having so much fun watching them. First they wake up for the day and run, play, jump, slide, rumble, hide, pounce, repeat...then after a lot of fun, a lot of rumbling, a lot of playing, they snuggle up … [Read more...] about 4:52 Rest
