posts about me and what it’s like being a mom
Just a reflection
Thank you for reading my blog last week. I felt that my post about my moms passing was rather “dark” for me – however I allowed myself to do it this year. Never before have I acknowledged that day in such a public way and it felt good. I took the time to feel […]

Mom
Today you get to learn a little bit more about Me. Nine years ago I lost my mother to Lung Cancer. It was three days before my 22 birthday (which to this day I can barely remember). I was on winter break from college, my senior year. From the time she was diagnosed in April […]
Read MoreGetting over the hump
So I’ve recently been considering a new venture – just something low key and would potentially bring in some small income. So what’s the problem you ask? Well I’m afraid to commit. It may sound silly because like my mom would say “how do you know until you try?” but I have a fear of […]

Who am I?
While recently reading a post on some of my favorite blogs, the author was decribing a “type” of person, that he called The Nice Guy/Girl. You either know this person or in my case you ARE this person. Trying to please everyone else or do the “right” things will not guarentee you a happy life. […]

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, now what’s going to change??? I have a fear of resolutions, why? Because I am so bad at following through with them. I am so hesitate to even speak of what I might change for fear that I will not actually be able to do it. Two years ago I resolved to […]

Just being you
There are many times I try to figure out the “right” way to do something. Who says what is right? Well the more I try to be someone I am not, the more I become discouraged with myself. I am successful when I am me. That success might seem like chaos to someone else, but […]

I’m not alone
I was reading one of my favorite blogs today, when I came across this picture of a mom lying on a rug surrounded by toys, ”Ahhhhh so I’m not alone!” I said to myself. It was so refreshing to see this picture to know that somewhere out there, there is a mom who tries her best […]

Long Days, Short Years
Before I became a Stay at Home mom, someone told me that my “days would be long, but my years would be short” with the kids. I really didn’t understand what this person meant, but as I was soon going to find out! I am constantly trying to figure out things for us to do, […]

Getting comfortable with Me
Over the past few months I’ve been trying to define myself as being good at something or just Being something for that matter. When I was working, I identified myself as an Executive Assistant and now I’m a “Stay at Home” Mom, but what does that really mean? I feel like people who are good […]

Blah Days
Life right now is feeling a bit like my blog…neglected! I’ve been having a bit of Groundhog Day syndrome lately, just feeling strained for things to “do” and not really wanting to do the things I should be doing. Like now, during nap time, I am choosing to catch up on emails and well frankly, […]

Happy Mom..most of the time!
I’ve been at my “new job” for about three months now, so I thought I’d give an update on how things are going. Being at home with the kids is both wonderful and challenging. I’ve heard mothers say it is the toughest but most rewarding jobs they’ve ever had and I’ve never really understood this […]

PJ Day
It’s chilly, rainy and just plain gray outside today. This is what I like to call a “pj day!” As in, what bother getting out of your pjs?! As I sit here snuggled in a blanket on the couch, with my warm cup of coffee, I wonder if I should be doing something more productive. […]
