Life & Musings
That’s Life…
What would a personal blog be without a some life musings? In this section I tend to get a little, well… personal. It features a range of topics from mom-life and spring cleaning, to attempting to live in the moment, and plenty of hilarity in between…
Merry & Bright Burnout and How to Avoid It
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…! Right??? I have to admit… While everyone else is jovially belting out “Oh Holy Night!” I’m over here mumbling “oh… holy crap…” Don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas and the Advent Season; I just wish I had more time to...
Why Alcohol Makes a Great Gift and Other Fun Ideas
Have you ever gotten an incredibly awkward gift? I’m willing to bet you’ve gotten at least one. I’d say my favorite awkward gift was a manicure set that was so old the cuticle cream had turned into powder. I was probably about eight or nine years old at the time, and...
I’m Going to Create My Own Trading Cards Called Poky-Mom
Clearly, I live under a rock… And most of the time, I’m pretty okay with that. This fun fact is pointed out to me on a fairly regular basis, and more recently by my daughter, Olivia, though in not so many words. This time, it came about after her sudden obsession with...
10 Practices to Quiet Your Mind & Calm Your Spirit
So, I didn’t always used to be this laid back… And, if you know me at all, you probably just spit out your coffee laughing too hard, or you need to pick up your jaw off the floor. (If coffee came out your nose, you totally have to tell me.) Okay… so I might not...
An Unbecoming Proposal for a New Mindset
Not long ago I bought myself a ring to wear on my middle finger, on my left hand. Its significance is not terribly unlike that of the one next to it, only it represents a promise made to myself. A proposal, if you will, for self-love. (And it’s also fun to think of...
The Power of Asking for What You Want
Have you ever “magically” gotten something you were hoping for, even though it seemed pretty far-fetched? I have. In recent years I’ve read several books on the philosophy known as the Law of Attraction. It’s not a new concept, but it has once again grown in...
Why I Hate the F Word
Is it me, or do you notice the F word being flung about all willy-nilly on the regular? “Fat.” I hate that word. How about you? I personally find it way more offensive than the f-bomb. It’s a word that plants a seed of low self-esteem and doubt no matter how it’s...
A Sudden and Unexpected Paranoia and Why I Now Sleep with a Flashlight
As a grown-ass woman, you probably wouldn’t think I’d have a flashlight sitting on my nightstand to ward off things that go bump in the night. A week ago, it wasn’t there and I would have been laughing right along with you over such childish behavior. However, a few...
