Just Maybe brokenness is ok for a season.
I debated for a while whether or not 2 months was enough time between blog posts but decided "hey, it's my blog and I can post that close together if I want to." Okay. Obviously I'm totally kidding! But seriously ya'll, I can't believe it's been that long! Life went from a comfortable, predictable 45 [...]
You might be saying to yourself, "Geez, lady! Are you ever going to get consistent with your posting again?" And you know what my response is to that? "Oh yeah, totally... I hope." I'm feeling distracted with my monthly challenge for April with the whole "Complete a BeachBody workout program" thing. I have been so [...]
For a lot of us, Easter includes getting dressed up in our spring themed "Sunday Best", attending the ever popular Easter service, eating a big, traditional meal afterwards with family and/ or friends, and, of course, egg hunts and outdoor festivities. Also for a lot of us this year, we are quarantined, limited on who [...]
Well it's officially been over a week since I posted anything. I haven't gone longer than a few days since I got this thing going over a month ago and I'm excited about getting back in the groove despite enjoying that little break I very much needed from the world wide web. Okay... what prompted [...]
Ya'll- I have accomplished more and felt more in control of my life in the last few weeks but I have also been the most tired and *felt* the least productive. Anybody else feeling that way lately? Like, yeah, you're getting stuff done and accomplishing quite a bit but still feel like your wheels are [...]
Staying home with a toddler 24/7 is definitely nothing new for me. Emmy is 4 and I've been quarantined with her since she was born. Ok quarantine sounds drastic since we could technically go places, but lets be honest- when you've got a little one always on you and are in money saving mode, how [...]
Lemme ask you this. When you hear phrases like "the time is now" and "you'll always have an excuse- just do it" and things like that, what is your initial response? For me, these statements tend to be from people who are trying to convince you to take a specific step towards mental, physical, or [...]
Meal planning has always been daunting and tedious for me. First you have to find recipes, write out all the ingredients, and we won't even talk about the grocery shopping part. But what kinda sucks is that it's an essential part of successful, consistent, healthy eating. I know because I've tried the "winging it" version. [...]
Is there anyone else that feels like this week almost didn't happen??? Now that I'm finally up and moving around again after a few months, I'm back to where I normally am- scatterbrained, unorganized, overcommitted, and unable to catch my breath so I can fix all the aforementioned. It's been a while since I've run [...]
"Though there are times it may seem like God is silent, He is never absent."~Brian Houston You want to know something that I think irks me the most about going through a hard time? Let me preface this statement by saying this- I am a devoted Christian. I cannot imagine my life without having the [...]
How many times have you thought this either to or *about* yourself? Let's be honest with each other... if you've ever struggled with weight or routine exercise, no matter how much or how little, it's factored into your opinion about yourself like "I'm disgusting" "I'm a failure" "the first thing people see is that I'm [...]
WARNING: In this post I talk about suicide, depression, and pregnancy loss. If you do not want to read it, I encourage you to skip this installment. Part of me has been looking forward to getting real about this subject, sharing my story, and bringing more awareness to such a taboo subject. And then there's [...]
"Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step."~Naeem Callaway Will all the obsessive planners please raise your hand? Okay, awesome! Now will all those who plan obsessively but have a hard time putting your feet to the [...]
