For us it is back to school next week so that means back to finding you! That’s right I look forward to Cheyenne going back to school, Dustin might still be at home but I do feel like I’m getting a bit of a break, entertaining two kids all day is a lot of work. I now have a greater appreciation for teachers! I know I didn’t do the check in from my last Task Thursday which was two weeks ago, have you all been working on something that has been slacking in the past two weeks?! I know my…

Just a fair warning I do ramble a bit so hold on I’ll eventually come to an end, this whole internet connection anxiety needs to stop! A few things I’ve learned about myself this past week after staying in the Children’s Hospital with my daughter are: 1. I can’t live without internet [chuckle]. You would not believe the almost anxiety attacks I got this week because I had really intermittent internet or I couldn’t get onto the internet and check my site stats or do a new blog post … or just check out Facebook, or just try to connect…
I just had to share one of my favorite blog hops with you all today, the Mom’s Monday Mingle! Its from The Naptime Review, I guarantee you’ll love it! Grab your coffee and start hopping there are lots of great friends to meet and blogs to explore! I hope you have a fantastic Monday.
I’m loving this Sunday Social series, this time it is all about the internet. Its hard to think that our kids will never grow up not knowing the internet, the world is forever changing but for the better! I do have to say sorry for being absent this week, I’m working on catching up it was really hard being at the hospital with my daugther with minimal internet, can you say anxiety attack?! More about that later. 1. What is the first website you log on to each day? After I check my email I would have to say I…
Another Tuesday which means time to share a recipe! Yesterday I had a delicious teriyaki stir fry and it reminded me of my homemade recipe that is simple and easy to do in the slow cooker with chicken, pork, beef or however you like it. It is simple to make variations or add a few veggies to make it a little healthier. So here it is!
Its throwback time for this Sunday Social! My round 3 and I hope you’ll join me, it has definitely been a time of reflection this past week trying to think of what to say in this post but it has been a lot of fun thinking of the good old times! 1. What were you like in Middle School/HS? (pictures) I never went to a middle school, I was actually in high school in the 7th grade, then I moved and had to start my first year of highschool all over again in the 8th grade, and then we moved…
Sometimes I get creative and the kids were feeling a little sick so we had an inside craft day and this is our trial of a paper bag scrapbook. I think it turned out pretty good for not really know what we were doing. The day started off like this: When you have the help of a 2 year old you tend to not be organized and try to work quickly. We made hand and foot prints with ink and paper, my walls don’t like me much after this but hey it was fun and this page was totally worth…
A picture is worth a thousand words! My favorite time of the day and you can see why. Join me for this week’s Wordless Wednesday and link up.
The weekend has come and gone and we’re all back to Monday and reality which is the perfect time for a motivation check in! If you haven’t seen the last Task Thursday take a peek NOW! If you’re like me you sometimes need a constant reminder to stay on track and to get your butt up off the sofa. Don’t get me wrong sometimes it would be easier to just do nothing, but where would that get us? Trying to avoid being a better person and wanting more for yourself is only giving into self-doubt. That is why it is…
I loved doing last week’s Sunday Social so I figured I’d keep going with it, keep reading to find out about me and food! If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? I would have to say popcorn, I could eat it as a meal and with all the flavors you can add as topping the possibilities are endless, the only downfall is the kernels in your teeth but I could live with that. What’s your guilty pleasure/comfort food? Chocolate and a lot of it! I prefer the chocolate with the…

I had the recent opportunity to review Achieve Anything In Just One Year: Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals by Jason Harvey and I have to say I LOVE it!

Last task Thursday we dealt with procrastination this week is all about MOTIVATION!! Now that we have stopped procrastinating and started moving forward towards our goals we need some extra motivation, and how are we going to do that you ask?! Join me for this week’s vlog which I got to work in Vimeo!! Not sure if I’ll be using Vimeo or Youtube but at least one of them liked me today! A quick recap: 1. Put your goals where you can see them EVERY day! 2. Get an accountability partner – someone who is like minded! 3. Don’t give…
I can’t believe it is Wednesday already, which means time for Task Thursday’s check in on procrastination! I hope that even though summer is flying by and we’re all busy with vacations, chasing after kids, or just relaxing in the sun we can still take a moment to check in with ourselves and make sure that we are taking care of us! When we get so busy being a Mom we forget to take care of ourselves first and end up getting run down and sick, so by giving yourself permission to take a time out and spoil yourself…
My little man riding in the back seat with the top down! Hopefully everyone is enjoying mid-summer!! Join me for this week’s Wordless Wednesday link up.
