The Secret that Everybody Ought to Know About Living Successfully

 

My thermostat is set to 70 degrees. And life is pretty good at 70 degrees.

You Almost Lost Me Last Night

“Don’t Blog this Mom, but…”

The BlogTipping tradition? Pick three blogs. Say three great things. Offer one tip. I’m taking a more minimalistic approach this time, simply because life in eMoms-land is awfully busy these days!

I Have the Best Blog Readers on the Planet

 

I’m coming back to my online life… slowly! Our week couldn’t have gone better last week - we got a ton of family time, honored a great woman who passed, and my hubby and I grew closer than we ever have before. I hardly plugged in my computer at all over the last 4 days, […]

Work. Life. Balance. Not.

 

I know this is not my typical headline. And this might not be my typical post. But after the last two weeks in my life, the post is happening whether I like it or not.
I know I tend to expect quite a lot of myself and take on a ton of commitments. I also usually […]
