Reflections of a Work-in-Progress Mom
I think the holidays are maybe just overwhelming to me. After reading Just Open the Door and thinking through the difference between hospitality and entertaining, I feel that the entertaining portion of the holidays is what drains me and keeps me from really enjoying them and truly celebrating them. Holidays are meant to be more Read More …
As someone who has a degree in business finance, I’m surprised by how little I knew about personal finance. I love nerding out learning about this stuff so I can help our girls better recognize how to give, save, and spend their money wisely. Starting with the basics like working, spending, saving, and giving, and Read More …
I read like I yard – slowly. I can’t read when there’s any noise or possibility of interruption so I only read 1-2 books a month unlike those who read dozens and/or hundreds a year! I surprised myself this summer by reading 12ish books. You’ll see why it’s not a plain, old “12” when I Read More …
Have you ever said yes to doing something so you wouldn’t miss out on the activity or the opportunity but then it was just a stressful or overwhelming situation that you didn’t completely enjoy? Maybe just me. :p I’m a recovering-ish people-pleaser so I’ve definitely been there. Productivity is not about doing more, it’s doing Read More …
Again…a few things… Y’all are going to have to buy these books so we can swap or I’m going to have to increase my book budget. Just kidding, I don’t have a book budget, but just sayin’… I’m sad that this is a frequent disclaimer I give when I share books/resources I’m reading/learning from but 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 …
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 …
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 love reading different perspectives on things related to goals and goal-setting. There doesn’t seem to be one way to “get there,” wherever “there” is for each person but one common thing I hear from people who are starting out to those who are even considered experts in their fields/industries, is that they still sometimes Read More …
From the book description…which explains so much about who I am. I don’t know that anyone has ever said I was too sensitive in regards to anything because I don’t take offense too much, or even if I do, it doesn’t last long. But I do smell all the smells and hear all the songs Read More …
