Like you, I’m always trying to make my life better. Whether it means eating healthier, making better use of my time, or being more present for my kiddos. Pushing your personal bounds and taking yourself to the next level is stimulating and exciting. However, it also comes with risk. The risk of setting expectations too…
I’m a lucky duck. The hubster and I are in the middle of a big home remodel which is so exciting. We’re making our place (and life) more functional and streamlined. If you’ve been with me for a while you know I’m a big fan of simplicity. Loves me an organized closet, an efficient list-making…
When it comes to technology you’ve probably heard the saying “there’s an app for that.” And pretty much for any question you have or thing you want to do, there usually is. Yet my kids probably have more games on my phone than I have apps, simply because I can manage most of my life…
I admit it…I am weak. I promise myself I’m going to sit and focus and get my most important thing done for the day. Hot cup of Joe, cleared desk, situated in my comfy chair and then BOOM. I do it. (Here’s where the weak part comes in). I’ll just take a quick lookitypoo at my email….
Alarm goes off at 5:30am. You have every intention of going to the gym. You open your eyes, take one look at the clock, and just as you’re about to take off the covers, out of nowhere you get an unexpected visit from that suspicious little voice in your head. “Stay in bed another 15…
Ever have one of those weeks where you feel like you got nothing done? But you know you’ve been busy. In and out of meetings, appointment after appointment, checking off the lists, making the calls, writing the emails, copying the papers, grabbing the files, investing the time, asking the questions, responding to the messages and…
Ever have those days when you feel like you’re drowning in quicksand, head first? You look at your to-do list, more like pages of lists, and everything seems important. It’s overwhelming not to mention, paralyzing. I’ve tried tons of list making tools, spreadsheets, apps, and planners to help me prioritize but there’s one strategy that…
Just got back from a fabulous spring break in Arizona. First time I’d been to the Grand Canyon and Sedona and both took my breath away. But it also meant two flights with my hubby which always stresses me out. He’s what you might call a “late person” and I’m more of an “early person.”…
It’s so much easier to live denial than in reality, isn’t it? Until recently, if you asked me how much I ate I’d say: “Not too much” Or “Just a normal amount.” (Uh…hello, denial). I didn’t realize how much food I was shoving in my mouth until I got real. Real with My Fitness Pal…
You know when you wake up and walk into a room that looks like a bomb went off? Bills, socks, water bottles, magazines, dirty dishes, blankets, sweatshirts, beer koozies…uh…is that a pizza box in the corner? Gross. It doesn’t exactly make you burst with energy. Instead, you start your day feeling overwhelmed and heavy. Not…
