You’ve seen them all over the place. Un-boxing videos are crazy popular. From toys to food, we’re sharing what we get with the world. What really shocked me though is how popular these types of videos are. My kids got sucked into them with the toy videos and passed the craziness on to me. There […] Read more…

Choosing Joy in the New Normal
How are you adjusting to this new normal? For me, it’s like emerging out of a cocoon. I’m still a bit skeptical, unsure of my surroundings, but eager to have new experiences. I’ve been moving very slowly into this new world. It’s become normal for me to only spend time with people I’m related to. […] Read more…
I May Need to Slow Down Pt. 2
Last week I shared part of the list of books I read last month. June was a busy month for me as far as books go. I squeezed in NINE books. I’ve slowed down a bit for July. I’ve been busier doing other things too. We’re in the thick of Summer and there’s lots to […] Read more…
I May Need to Slow Down: June Reads
Here’s what I noticed about myself, I don’t watch TV much anymore. If there’s a show I hear a lot about, then I’ll check it out. Other than that, I just don’t seem to be interested in what’s on the telly. I dunno what that’s about. I just know that when it comes down to […] Read more…
6 Things I’ve Given Up
The last year has made it clear that there are some things I just don’t need. I’ve been going through my closet to let go of clothes I haven’t worn in years – yes, years. I already gave away boxes of shoes. Some were brand new. Hindsight, I probably should have sold them. 2020 got […] Read more…
Where have I Been

Like you, I’ve been plowing away over the last year or so with being mom, wife, teacher and employee. […] Read more…
Roundup of My April Reads
So many books, so little time. That seems to be the story of my life. I always have at least three books lined up in my “to be read” pile. The minute I finish one, I’m starting another. I’ve always loved reading but I know it’s kicked up into another gear with this pandemic life. […] Read more…
7 Habits You Need to Shake
Every now and then I have to tell my kids to sit down and just be still. They are really good at going from one thing to the next without taking a beat in between. It’s watch this show, do this thing on the computer, play this video game and then pick up the tablet […] Read more…
You Need To Hear This
We share all of these affirming messages with our children. We build them up and tell them they can change the world. At some point (hopefully) someone did that for us. Even if that isn’t the case, we always want better for our kids than what we had, right? So we seek to build them […] Read more…
What I Read this March
April is somehow almost over and I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. This year has been something else. On top of all that it has been, it’s also going by really fast! Things have been picking up for me work wise and I can see the evidence of that in the […] Read more…
