Summer is Winding Down

Summer is winding down! I know throughout the entire summer I kept staying how fast it was going. It always goes fast, but that's a good thing. It is good that it seems like its flying because that means you are having fun! We should be having fun and enjoying time with friends and family.

Did you do all the things you wanted? I know we didn't. I think we did a good job of not over booking our summer. We had times where we were home and relaxing. We had times where the kids were "bored" and had to navigate boredom. But we had a great summer! We took a couple trips away from home, we entertained friends, we went to a few festivals and did a few new things in our area. What more can I ask?!? We made memories and that is all I can ask for. I want my children to have a great childhood and my husband and I are doing everything we can to give them the best.

I am trying not to look at the "to do" list I created for my family for the summer. If we actually did everything I listed, I doubt we could have slept! But we did a bunch, and we are blessed to be able to move some things to the fall.

Don't stress about what you didn't do, celebrate the memories you were able to create. Remember, not everyone is as lucky as you are.

Happy Monday!

January Book Review

Welcome back to our monthly book review. This is the post where I share the books I read last month, rate them and share the jacket summary. I hope you are able to find a few new books to add to your reading list! However.... This month was a struggle for me. On average I read about 4-5 books a month. If I don't like a book, or can't get into it, I stop reading. Life is too short to read a book that doesn't hold my interest. That happened more this month than ANY month, in the last 3 years where I have been tracking what I read. I must have started and stopped 4 books. I just couldn't not get past the first couple chapters. It was a struggle for sure. This month, I read a series on Kindle Unlimited that I will only count as 1 book. I'll explain more below. The Christmas Retreat By Grace Meyers My rating: 4/5 My comments: This was a 6 book series. The books were about 70 pages long....

What's Up Wednesday - 11/29/2023

In my quest to blog more frequently, I am linking up with Shay and Sheaffer on the last Wednesday of the month. Make sure you check out their blogs as well. I have been reading both of them for years and they are 2 of my favorites. I love reading blogs and to me it's an escape from reality. It's like talking to a girlfriend and taking a sneak peek into their lives, closet and home. I have always wanted to blog. I typically wrote a post every 6 months so right now I am pretty horrible, and no one reads. But, in 2024 my goal is consistency. Stay tuned, maybe someday you will be saying my blog is your favorite. That would be music to my ears! Here is what we have been up to lately. 1. Thanksgiving I sat on the couch at my brother and sister in laws after a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. It came to me, if you host or cook Thanksgiving, you are truly an angel. You welcome people into your homes, cook, entertain and ...

Motivational Monday - 4/29/2024

Throw stuff out Organize it Put it away ..... Whatever you need to do. A cluttered house, clutters your mind and it's hard to relax. Do a little something every day. This also applies to work. Take a look at your desk. Do you have files everywhere? Post it's? Old family pictures? Now go look at your managers desk (or the person that has the job you are working towards). Does it look the same? Take 10 minutes to really look at the post its you have around your monitor. Do you still look at them? If not throw it out. If you still think you need them - combine to one sheet and post on your wall or add to OneNote. After a while your mind doesn't see/read them because they are so used to them. Look at old family pictures... Can you take some home and update with a couple current ones? Can you create a calendar in Shutterfly or Walgreens to display monthly pictures there? This would allow you to have less family pic...
