Home: Awaken

Day 3 back at the mat first thing in the morning.  I will be honest when I say that for the last 2 days I didn’t even make it through the entire practice.  I gave myself GRACE though.  My word for the year.  That some time on that mat was certainly better than no time

Home: Recognize

A new year means a new 30 day yoga journey with Adriene!  Yoga with Adriene is a favorite for me.  I can do it in my own home, at a time that works for me and without any judgment.  Interested in yoga, but haven’t started yet?  Google Adriene.  Many videos on Youtube available.  Long, Short,

Hospitality

Thankful Day 6

Well, there are only 2 places that come to mind when I think of a place I’m thankful for!!! My house.  My wonderful, beautiful, quad-level in the city that I grew up in.  In a wonderful neighborhood, with a diverse community, amazing schools and a safe place for my children to run around outside.

FBF: Do you have a Vision Board?

This morning at the gym, I knew that this was the post I had to share for FBF.  It was originally written nearly 2 years ago.  The board itself was made in October of 2014.  I am proud to say that in just 2 weeks, I will have to make a new vision board because

What Works For Me: When the Kids are at Their Other Homes

For just over 6 years now I have had to figure out how to best deal with life when my kids aren’t with me.  It used to be very, very hard for me.  When they aren’t with me, that means that I don’t have control.  Not having control isn’t something I am naturally comfortable with.

What Do You Think About….Money?

Last month I put together this post Money…..get away…..or…..come here!!! A couple weeks after that happened Paul got pre-approved for a mortgage.  Then we were on the house hunt.  Then last Wednesday we had an offer accepted. Getting into this house is a dream and a financial relief of sorts.  Moving into our own house will

HOME

I haven’t been on much over the last couple of days.  Partially because it is Thanksgiving Weekend, but also because we had an offer accepted on a house!! Can you believe it? Now the whirlwind starts.  The paperwork, the checks that need to be written, the time that needs to be put into it.  The

Please Think Good Thoughts…

On Sunday Paul got pre-approved for a mortgage.  That means we are officially house-hunting. I am terrified that something will come up and they will decide to take it back!  That they will find something that they don’t like in our credit reports (it isn’t pretty).  That we won’t find enough family members who love
