I'm back from the Friday-Saturday swim meet adventure with Asher. We left around 2:30 on Friday. Traffic was okay. I'm not a mega fan of Chicago area traffic, though in fairness, it really wasn't overly heavy this time. There's just a lot of lanes and a lot of cars down that way. And a good… Continue reading Disappointments/ perseverance
A friend shared a post on Facebook yesterday that I absolutely loved. These are the types of posts that I truly live for on social media- it felt insightful, relevant, valuable and it spoke to me. I clicked "save!" "save!" as fast as I could. 😉 The main point I took away was that parenting… Continue reading Picking your battles wisely (with kids)

It was held in an auditorium at a local middle school and the whole thing was just really, really nice. The Board members presented, as well as the coaches.… Continue reading What it’s all about- youth sports

We stayed with my parents to avoid driving back and forth. It was a great weekend overall. Like last time, pretty relaxing.… Continue reading Highs, lows and life lessons

But, I'll go out on a limb here and predict an identical view from my sunroom window tomorrow at 5:55 a.m. And… Continue reading Wisdom Wednesday- #modestyfail 🙂
Last night I was sitting and reading my current non-fiction choice (You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why it Matters), and a couple of lines stood out to me that I wanted to share. "Everybody is interesting if you ask the right questions."-Kate Murphy, p. 40 I had to stop reading for a second… Continue reading Everybody is interesting
