Looking for something?

Looking for something?

Look up… and look for the well

I just can’t do this anymore. Each of us start the day with good intentions, but sometimes intentions just are not enough. When you haven’t found the time to get out of your pajamas (that you’ve been wearing for 2 days); when the dishwasher breaks down and now that growing pile in the sink seems on the brink of teetering (just like your resolve); when you find that you’ve reheated your morning coffee for the 10th time and still have not had enough caffeine to battle the up-all-night-tiredness you are feeling; when the toddler throws a tantrum on the living

We started “pre-school”

If you had asked me pre-kids if I would ever homeschool, I would have given you a VERY definitive NO! I mean, I am not a teacher. I probably lack in the patience department. Creativity? I can duplicate just about anything I see, but original thought… well, that’s a different story. Having to come up with a curriculum and having to have a routine (I’m horrible with routines!!) gave me sweaty palms just thinking about it! But then I had kids… and everything changed. I’ve come to realize that what I do naturally… every… single… day… is to teach my

My Word of the Year 2017

Forgive me if I seem a little out of the loop… somehow between loading the dishwasher, playing play-dough and chasing two kiddos around the house, I missed the all important Word of the Year. Apparently this has been going on for many years, but when your entire world consists of rice puffs and diaper changes, you somehow miss out on the words of the world. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t live under a rock and live blissfully unaware of world affairs (though sometimes I think I’d like to!)…  I’ve heard many people mention how they “can’t wait to put

“Stressed Paralysed” is a real thing folks!

Have you ever seen the movie Mom’s Night Out? If you haven’t, you should… I laughed, I cried, and I laughed some more. Mostly, the movie helped me to remember… I am not crazy. This mom thing is hard. And “stress paralyzed” is a very real thing. As I sit here staring at my house, I KNOW that I should be moving… but I just can’t seemed to find the motivation (courage maybe??) to get up and clean. I have a list of things I NEED to do, but they all seem unimportant as I sit and read a book

Cherish the past… embrace the future… live for today!

As I sit here staring out my window, I feel a stirring in my soul. Maybe it’s the fresh coat of snow that has the world looking crisp and new like soft wool that has just been shorn. Or maybe it’s the sunlight streaming through my window that has me closing my eyes and soaking up its warmth. Or maybe it’s the new year. I don’t know… but whatever it is, it has me feeling like the world is new and fresh. I have a restlessness in me that needs an outlet… I MUST make a change! There is no

The Puppy Stealer!

Time is a cruel, cruel thing… I’m talking Cruella DeVil, kill-all-the-puppies-for-a-fur-coat kind of mean!!! It feels like every day that crazy, puppy snatching thing called “time” is stealing away moments… moments I’ll never get back! But one thing time DOES give me are 101 precious little puppies to love and take care of. I get to snuggle, kiss, and bury my face in their soft fur… trying to soak up the innocence and cuteness while I can. They are 101 precious memories, and THAT is something that Cruella DeTIME will never be able to steal from me! But why is
