Daddy Takeover Tuesday: Help out

After a Monday that started the week off rocky, it was no surprise that my husband suggested a Daddy Takeover Tuesday theme that focused on helping me (the wife) out. In all honesty, my husband helps all the time. But he doesn't think he's as helpful as he actually is. So, instead of focusing on …

Mombie Hack Monday: Sometimes there isn’t a hack

Today I am struggling. I have no ideas for Mombie Hacks on this Monday because I feel captured by my Mombie status. Truthfully, what I can say is, sometimes this happens. And it is okay. Sometimes we cannot pull ourselves out of the darkness that is the Mombie state. Sometimes we just need to be …

Setup YOUR Success Sunday: Nurture your relationships

I’ll admit it; I get so busy in life. So much so that sometimes I can seem antisocial. It isn’t that I intend to, or that I don’t value the relationships I have. It is more so the obligations I have tugging at me. They can consume all of me until there’s nothing left. Today, …

Mombie Hack Monday: Be Grateful

I get to see my children every day. I take this for granted, and will find myself making casual statements of, "I would like a break." A break. From my children and my regular, every day, Mom routines. Please know, if you are in the same boat as I am, this is okay. It is …

Sensational Saturday: When happy memories are attached to places

My husband and I have many memories attached to the little moments of travel and trips. Things we don’t try to relive, but revisit to create more happy memories. For instance, when we got married in Vegas we ordered a cake from a local bakery there. Whenever we are able to go back for our …
