He Who Humbles Himself Shall Be Exulted
Remember the last couple of weeks before New Years when everyone was chatting it up about all of the great things they were going to accomplish in the new year? Remember that? Yeah, me too. I was one of those people with a list of resolutions this and goals that…what the heck? I don’t know about you but I’m getting my butt kicked by 2018 and we’re only 4 weeks in! Now, some may think this is a bad thing…most actually…however, I have been doing some reading and apparently when life hands you a bucket of worms you’re supposed to go fishing or something like that. There’s supposed to be some deeper…

Life With Balance
As a working mom, I often times find that my biggest struggle lies in finding a good balance in my life. I am a “people pleaser”, so it is important to me to make sure my clients are happy, my children eat home cooked meals and have help with their homework, and that my house is somewhat in order. With so many thing on my plate these days, I find myself in a juggling act of sorts…and I’m on the losing end! Something always suffers. If I put more time towards work, then I don’t get a workout in and most likely make poor food choices. If I take…

Why I Don’t Regret Being A Stay At Home Mom
As a writer, I read a lot of various pieces written by people from all over the world. I recently read a piece entitled “9 Reasons Why I Regret Being a Stay-at-Home Mom” by Lisa Endlich Heffernan.

I am a military spouse as well, which means when my husband is gone for work the odds are 7:1 in our house. After our move this summer, we will have relocated our family 11 times. I home schooled our children for 8 years and then enrolled them in public school.…

Changes In Attitudes, Changes in Latitudes
Zooey Momma! When I rang in 2013 I never expected the new year to be…well…so eventful I guess. My life has been turned completely upside down and pear shaped in these few short weeks of the new year. I am excited and apprehensive all at the same time. Shall I share the excitement with you? Yes…here we go! My husband is in the military. Anyone who reads the news knows that a career in the military does not ensure job security in this day and age. That being said, my husband and I sat down and discussed the pros and cons of him considering a career change. He’s been a…

Like Visiting a Long Lost Friend
I haven’t been on here in such a long time it’s taken me hours just to clean all of the cob webs off my dashboard! Sheesh! Truth be told I have once again succeeded in letting everything and everyone come between me and my writing. I hate when that happens but we all know…sometimes that’s just life! With 7 kids, a deployed husband and 2 jobs on my plate writing is always put last in the food chain. I’m thinking it needs to not be anymore. Writing is what keeps me sane…helps me remember who I am in the midst of all of the craziness life has to offer. It’s…
