I’ve had friends who have done gratitude journals and I’ve always been interested in the idea of it. I purchased a gratitude journal on a girlfriends weekend and even a gratitude app but I’ve never managed to complete more than a week of it. I decided to do a personal gratitude challenge this November for several […]
Saturday Soapbox: Just because they got it wrong on the test doesn’t mean it needs to be a goal!
Last week I started talking about some of my pet peeves regarding goal and objective writing. You can read about how I HATE it when goals are trying to measure too many things by clicking here. A second pet peeve of mine is when people write goals that teach to the test. Some tests do seem […]
Mama-on-Days: Halloween Hijinks
I want my holidays to be filled with family traditions. I spent a lot of time planning and creating Halloween events for my family while working hard to monitor my own expectations. Sometimes I can get a little out of control with my planning and the way I think the event will go in […]
Mama-on-days: The Halloween Meal
I’m obsessed with creating Family traditions. I want to there to be magical moments in my son’s childhood. Last weekend, my husband and I went away on a romantic getaway that was marred by the fact that my brother in law needed to bunk with us. Ixnay on the omanceray. My mom was picking me […]
Mama-on-Days: Stepping WAY outside of my comfort zone.
Have you ever done something so crazy (to you, anyhow) that you can’t believe you did it? Sometime last Spring, I wrote about how I was signing my mother and I up for a Girlfriend Mystery Tour. We showed up at the meeting place on Saturday morning not knowing what we would do for […]
Mama-on-Days: Grocery list organization solved.
Last week I started my new organizational system for meal planning. This week I wanted to share an Free app that I found that is making Grocery shopping a little bit easier for me. I’m not the best with lists. I usually leave mine at home or in the car. Then I’m doing my best […]
Mama-on-Days: Managing Mealtime Planning or it’s time to stop with the mac and cheese already…
Does anyone else find that the changing of the seasons is a good time to start reorganizing your life? One of my continual struggles is scheduling family mealtimes, providing healthy whole food options and not spending my whole weekend grocery shopping. I WANT to be the family that sits down together at the dinner table. […]
Mama-On-Days: Nostalgia Mishmash and the One that got Away
I realized last week that next year (phew!) I will be celebrating my 20th COLLEGE reunion. It’s funny how quickly time passes. Should I still have questions about what I am doing in Speech therapy and still thinking about how I can be the most effective for my clients? I think one of the […]
Mama-on-days: Taming the laundry room clutter….and something weird my husband put up on the wall.
This probably would’ve been a pretty awesome blog post-if I’d remembered to take some before pictures. I thought I did-but iPhoto is telling me that I didn’t. A great thing about company is that it forces you to get your house in order. Cleaning is one of those things that comes last on my priority […]
Mama-on-Days: Taming my Mind clutter.
I’ve got a million things floating around in my head at any given minute. What do I need to get from the store, What am I doing with my speech kids today, whose reports are due, do I have any ideas for new TPT posts, what are my next blog topics, I should schedule a […]
