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…

The Best Advice I Have Ever Given to My Teenage Daughter
Life is hard. Period. Sometimes things just suck. As a Christian, I believe that these times in our lives serve an important purpose: to draw us closer to God. Some think this is illogical. Why wouldn’t God make my life perfect with rainbows and unicorns if He loved me so much? My answer is that growth comes from adversity. You can’t grow into the person God has intended you to be without a few hard lessons, bumps and bruises along the way. You learn to ride a bike by falling off and scraping you knees just as you learn who you can trust and who you can’t by either having…

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…

Love Grows Best In Little Houses
Well, the latest of our many military moves is nearly over and I have to say, this one was a doozy. Plans changed about 52 times before we finally were able to make a definite plan of action and go with it. As the saying goes “When Plan A doesn’t work there are 25 other letters of the alphabet.” I think we may have been embarking on X,Y AND Z! Such is life as a military family, and we are happy with our choices and ready to move on with life as “usual”. Probably the biggest change we’ve made was downsizing. We started off in a house that was…

Supermom? I Think Not!
Ever have one of those days…yes THOSE days…you know, where everything seems to be falling apart at the seams? Yep, that’s me today. Take a husband in the military with a never-ending schedule, 7 kids off from school for a long weekend and countless work deadlines to meet and you have the makings for a meltdown the likes of which have never been seen. It’s on days like this very day I am having today that I take a moment (and maybe just a bite of chocolate) and my computer of course and hide out. Right now I’m in my bedroom and have given strict orders not to be disturbed.…

The Good Things…and So Much More
Oh my goodness, what a heck of a day it’s been! Work has been kicking my rumpus lately…but in a good way. When you start a business with just an idea and a lot of “we really need money right now so you had better make this work” there is a lot of time being put in that you’re not exactly being paid for. My husband hates that part, but it is what it is. I have to say, when I started my job I really didn’t enjoy what I was doing. I was more of the “working for the paycheck” kinda gal. Now that I have a number of…

My Rainbow Connection
I shouldn’t be writing a blog post right now. Right now the “responsible adult voice” in my head is saying…”Shouldn’t you be working on those press releases? Is the household budget balanced yet? What about those costumes for the school musical you need to finish by Monday?” It’s at times like these I tell that voice to shut up! Sometimes I just need to write…this is one of those times. So for those of you who know me personally, you know my life as of late has been…well, hectic to say the least. Yesterday I’m on my way back from Wal-Mart when it all came to a head and I…

Easter Without Good Friday
Fr. Marek last night gave a very thought-provoking homily. Looking around at the surprisingly empty church, he says “Many times people think Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter are three separate days. Really they are one.” He went on to explain how when you think about the events of each day it’s really like Jesus had one big long day from the Last Supper to the Crucifixion and then His burial. This is an awesome time of year when we as Christians can reflect on the true meaning of Jesus’s life and death and it”s profound effect on our lives…and deaths. Father then explained how many times in our lives…
