Thanks to anyone who read my epistle of a life update the other day. LOL. Things are slowly feeling a little more "normal" this week, but I think I have come to understand that summertime is always going to feel sort of like a hot mess for me. The reality is just that with the… Continue reading New life mantra??
Good morning! It's a 5:30 a.m. swim practice day. These are currently "necessary" in Asher's schedule, because he is so busy with volleyball + soccer right now that he can't get to as many of the evening practices. Even with the early Wednesdays in the mix, he's only making it to swim about 3x/ week… Continue reading Time tracking experiment
The cool thing about having a blog is that you have a fun place to decompress and share details about your life with other people. The bad thing about having a blog is that.... other people know a lot about your life! Which, is NOT actually a "bad thing" in my opinion- obviously I choose… Continue reading New habits + blogging + feeling self-conscious
It's February! Cue everyone saying, "Oh my goodness, can you believe it's February already???" 😄 But it is crazy to me to realize that 2023 is 1/12th over already.

Hello! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I definitely did!! It was so nice. I'll write a little Christmas recap this week, but I don't have time this morning. Asher is at early swim practice and I don't have that long before I need to go pick him up. Just a few thoughts on… Continue reading Post-holiday state/ re-grouping
November is almost over, which means my goal of adding a specific habit for the month of November is almost over, too. If you recall, I talked about this idea in this post. I have really enjoyed focusing on just ONE THING for a month. I chose to start with "adding" a good habit (versus… Continue reading Update on my adding/subtracting habit plan + some fitness “advice”
Adding/ Subtracting Habits: One of the people I read about in Tribe of Mentors talked about his custom of making "New Month Resolutions" instead of "New Year Resolutions". Specifically, he rotates between either ADDING a habit or SUBTRACTING a daily habit. The examples he personally gave in the book were: July = Daily readingAugust= No… Continue reading Adding/ subtracting and a productive Thursday
I saw a post yesterday that was talking about "things we model for our kids", whether we realize it or not. It made me pause and think for a minute about some of them. I don't think parents need to add MORE pressure to themselves, as in "oh my gosh, my kids are watching, I… Continue reading Modeling behaviors for our kids
I have heard the same general "message" in several different places in the past week, so it must mean the universe is whispering it loudly to me. Daily Habits > Once in a While! It started last week when I listened to an episode of the 5 am Miracle podcast titled "5 Bad Habits I… Continue reading Getting unstuck/ daily habits/ streaks
