You know, my life has turned out pretty good. I am so blessed with family, friends and lots and lots of love. My family is so fortunate to have each other, have a roof over our heads, and we really don't want for much of anything. Material things have never been that important to us, and the older I get they are even less important. Love and … [Read more...]
We all have our own ways of dealing with stress, and hopefully we all have a way to escape the stress as well! There are certain things that I do to help me unwind a bit - deep breathing, gardening, or even taking a walk. These things really help me to clear my head. Stress is a bad thing, and it really is rough on the body and mind, so … [Read more...]
He has his appointments, they have their events, and I have mine. I am talking about my family and how crazy our life can get due to the variety of commitments we have. Whether combined (family activity) or individual events, someone has to be on top of everything. Guess what? I am that person! But when each family member is … [Read more...]
School has started and the crazy morning have too! Things can get out of control pretty quickly in our household, so I have to be a mad organizing machine to make things run smoothly. There are mouths to feed, outfits to be picked out and homework to be checked over. Why wait until the morning to do these things? I have a much better … [Read more...]

It can be a helpless feeling as a parent. Yes, in addition to filling out the school forms, there are more things to do to ensure your child is ready for school, and … [Read more...]
What do you think about date nights? I think they are a perfect way for a couple to stay connected...especially when they have children. For the stay at home parent, it is a welcome relief to get out of the house, and for the working spouse (or if both spouses work), it can also be something to look forward to. I'd love to hear about your … [Read more...]
In my household, I am known as the one who wears the pants. Or sometimes even a dress. Regardless of what I am wearing (LOL), I am the gal who runs the show and keeps everyone on schedule. Appointments? Check! Shopping? Oh yes. Errands? Mmm hmmm - that's me too. I am constantly running around making sure this household runs like a … [Read more...]
I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have forgotten to write down future appointments on my calendar. You know when you go to the doctor's office and they set up a follow-up appointment and write the date on a business card? I almost always lost the cards, or forget all about them by the time I get home. Since I bought my iPhone, … [Read more...]
Work is such a big part of our lives, but unfortunately too much sometimes. Family is more important (in my opinion) and finding the balance between the two can be tricky. Do you have any personal experiences to share? I would love to hear how you juggle the two. Read my thoughts on the Enough Time Moms blog! *As part of the Enough Time … [Read more...]
