With all that is going on in our world today, finding the good in each day proves difficult for me on many days. I used to love sitting in the quiet early morning with my tea, watching Good Morning America and having a few minutes to myself before the rush of our days began. These… Continue reading Look on the Bright Side

Listen up!
This weekend could NOT be better, weather-wise! Sunny, mid-sixties, a slight breeze. It's almost like a fall temp. and I adore the fall. Which means I intend to spend the majority of the day outside again, just like we did yesterday. If you're into weekend vibes of getting stuff done and enjoying every second, might… Continue reading Listen up!
Why I can’t get ANYTHING accomplished
We (I) started this blog as a way to force myself to write regularly. And it's not like I don't enjoy it, but finding the time to ...sorry, I was called away by Justin to see some ridiculous moment on Tarek El Moussa's new TV show...another distraction!

Learning to Say No
I am a busy person. I am a mom. I juggle doctor’s appointments, sports’ practices, religion classes, school events. I am a wife. I juggle my husband’s sometimes unpredictable schedule and date nights that oftentimes take a back seat to seemingly more urgent needs, like sick kids, work, and cleaning. I am a teacher.
