Reflections of a Work-in-Progress Mom
A LOOK BACK In past years, I have offered one or two decluttering challenges a year. Last year, the group members asked for more. I’m always up for a challenge, so I agreed, but as I had expected, many burned out or were discouraged by the obstacles that happened in certain months of the year Read More …
This is a re-read for me. My first read was a quick one and I hope to learn more this time around. A perfectly placed, impeccably delivered story can transport a person to a place beyond interested, straight past paying attention, and into a state of complete capivation. The “can’t look away” kind. I frequently Read More …
Did July fly by for anyone else? It happened so quickly that I don’t know that I have many thoughts about it besides the fact that I’m thinking of all our friends who have had to make school decisions, both as parents and teachers/administrators. It sounds like a lot of folks are working together to Read More …
This is a repost of a post I shared on Facebook and Instagram. I didn’t know that it would be so interesting to share a photo of our mostly empty refrigerator. There were lots of good conversations in the comments of that post so I will share some general thoughts in this post. – Sometimes Read More …
These last few months we’ve changed our view. The computer and phone screens are nice ways to connect but we’ve headed to our yard for a change in scenery. There is very little that we are in control of these days (not that we were in control of much before) but we are choosing to Read More …
I read Loving My Actual Life in 2017 and really enjoy reflecting on different areas of my life. I think we sometimes rush through life without thinking about the things we are doing. We go from one thing to another. There is no better time than now to slow down to treasure whoever has been Read More …
I’ve been intentionally some digital decluttering this past month. I regularly delete stuff but sometimes I forget so I was trying to figure out how I could remember. No one forgets Taco Tuesday, right? Why? Because it’s a catchy phrase. So why not something nerdy like Unsubscribe Saturday…or if you have another day…just remember that Read More …
I love sharing about resources that I am using to learn and grow. That said, a friend shared recently that, unfortunately, many times it feels like we need to give disclaimers nowadays that we don’t always agree 100% with the author if/when we’re reading a book. Sometimes we read and listen to resources that we Read More …
You know I can’t pass up a good challenge. They really do “challenge” me. They help me keep accountable for taking actions. I can read a great book with inspiration and practical tips, but if I don’t do anything as a result of reading the book, it doesn’t move me forward. (This is a re-read Read More …
I’ve tried getting my reflections on this past month out of my brain and onto the paper many times and I don’t feel like I can process it all or have the right words to say. There certainly are world-changing events that happen every year but 2020 will for sure go down in the history Read More …
