Reflections of a Work-in-Progress Mom
Oops, let’s restart this again since it’s been awhile since the last recap. Sometimes I only have time to review and reflect on the month in my mind, and don’t get a chance to sit down and write/type things down.

If there’s anything I need to continually work on, it’s the topic of this month’s book. After 15+ years of marriage (and a total of 22 years together), we continue to learn and grow as individuals, so naturally, we continue to learn and grow as a couple. And that’s not always easy.

This book has given me lots to think about. It has a great mix of research, data, personal stories, interviews, and some strategies/advice for growing with our kiddos through the teen, college, and young adult years. There may be a few take or toss things but even if you don’t consider yourself religious, there are Read More …
Hi! I am sharing weekly-ish how things are going in my decluttering journey these next two-ish months as I go through a clutter course. (I’ll share my thoughts after I’m done with the whole course.) Thanks for hanging out and reading my posts. I’d love to know how you’re doing and if you have any Read More …
