30 Day Challenge. Once again it's time to announce my next thirty-day challenge. If you are new to my blog, every month, since I turned 40 back in September, I set a new thirty-day challenge for myself. The goal is to have my year of being 40, a time to press outside of my comfort [...]

Friday Faves Edition 49
Friday. I hope that you all have had a beautiful week. I also hope that you have had more sunshine than me (unless, of course, you don't love sunshine...and then I hope you've had whatever weather lifts your spirits). This was a long week to Friday. The teens haven't been to school for the ENTIRE [...]
Stirling Castle
Stirling Castle. The day after we arrived in Scotland we took the train to Stirling Castle. The people working the ticket counters are amazingly helpful. We ended up getting a groupsaver ticket because there were three of us. With all the train travel that we did, this savings was a welcome surprise. Besides staring at [...]

I, however, was fully awake at 6:30 A.M. [...]
My 20 or so minutes at the gym
My bodyflow class doesn’t exist on Friday mornings. Monday through Thursday I show up at 10:30, spend some time on my mat and then experience the bliss of savasana (ok, most days it’s bliss, other days my mind just won’t shut up or my sinuses are draining and I have to continually come back to [...]
How Quickly A Day Can Derail You
I have the best of intentions when I roll out of bed in the morning. Today, I will be my best creative self. Granted, I am not a morning person so I don’t expect it to happen instantaneously. I like to get my kids sent on their way to school and my husband sent on [...]
