The holiday season is well underway and that means…Christmas lights! Just kidding…sort of. I do love seeing Christmas lights everywhere, they just make everything so beautiful. My family will drive around for hours just looking at all the wonderul masterpieces people come up with. I love seeing the wonder and excitement come into my children’s faces when we stumble upon a new work of art. And isn’t that what this season is about? The wonder, the magic, the excitement…all leading…
Friends, please welcome my sweet friend Sabrina to our space today. Sabrina and I met because we are in a small close knit mastermind and I was instantly drawn to her. Not only is her blog amazing and beautiful, but her soul is as well. I know if we lived closer, we would be real life coffee friends. Sabrina’s husband has been away on deployment and I have been in awe of how she copes so gracefully. I am so…
I know I am not alone when I say that sometimes I feel I wear too many hats – mother of 8, wife, teacher, business owner, volunteer, group leader…I love all my roles, but it can be difficult to know where to put my focus at times. I can get overwhelmed and then find myself only giving half heartedly to each role. I like to call myself multi-passionate. Over the years, I’ve met many other entrepreneur moms like me who…
I don’t know about you, but I tend to be very hard on myself. I have these voices in my head that I can’t always drown out, and they make me feel insecure and unprepared for what is in front of me. I have learned a lot over the years, of course, and God has worked wonders in me. I know I will always be a work in progress and I have learned to embrace the fact that I will…
I am in a season of life where I am looking to simplify. I want to be intentional with my days and spend time on what is important. I don’t want to look back and wonder if I valued my stuff more than my people. I am simplifying my business, my home, my family…and it is so freeing. I find I can enjoy life more, I am not distracted or easily stressed out. I wanted to share some things that…
I am not really the emotional type. That’s not to say I don’t have emotions – I most certainly do. I just hardly every cry, I prefer not to yell, and I tend to be able to keep my emotions under control. This isn’t always a good thing, as I tend to have issues communicating my feelings, but I am working on it. Anyway, I have had a rough week – one could say an emotional week. I fought with…
If you have known me for awhile, you know that I am an avid book reader. I always have been and thankfully, my kids seem to be bookworms too. A great family day out for us is a trip to the bookstore, where we can read and peruse books for hours. I always have an ongoing list of must read books for personal growth, and I check them off as I go. When people ask me how I stay so sane…
