Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there - whether you have littles (or not so little), are a step mom, pet mom, waiting to meet your little, waiting to be reunited with your little in heaven, or any other form of motherhood.

Days like this can be so hard on families who are waiting to be families or waiting to continue their families or missing their families. I wish you nothing but love and I want you to know that I've been there too. All to often days like this is tough, and now with social media it's even HARDER.

So do me a favor, please. 

If you find today to be hard - for whatever reason, please take a moment for yourself. .... and know... we love you 💓

p.s. to share a little happiness.... my girl T Swift 💗💛 will be showing her concert next Sunday on ABC at 10 PM (While I won't be awake I will be recording it 😉)

Mom Guilt and Looking Good

What is this thing called time? What is it? Where does it come from? How do I get more? How many times have you thought - 'Crap, where did the time go?' I know I do.... probably WAY TOO MUCH... You know what I am talking about... In today's world; we wake up, have to feed and cloth the kids, get yourself fed (maybe, but at least coffee or tea), get yourself changed (leggings are still a thing... right?) and then you get yourself out the door or down to business.... maybe - just maybe, you look in the mirror and go.... 'yuck!'  What if I could help? What if I could help you get a '5 minute face' so you have time to do all the other things you have to do but at least you feel better about your appearance? 5 minutes  and a couple of products - you'll feel so much better. (Full disclaimer - these are all off MY website - but that just means they are so much better, because I use them.. ALL THE TIME) Face Now I...

The Power of YET

The power of yet. We live in a world where we are constantly looking to be perfect at something.  The media..... the movies.... the magazines.... constantly throwing what we think of as "perfect" is being thrown in our faces ALL THE TIME. How many times have you thought.... "gee if only I was skinnier/prettier/funnier/smarter" ? I know I've said it, multiple times a week... it's so hard to break out of this cycle. Trust me, I know. There has been a movement in education for the last few years.... we call it "Growth Mindset" It's a powerful thought process - it makes you change your focus from not being able to do something to this idea of I'm just not able to do something yet....  For example... instead of saying "I'm not good at math" I would say something along the lines of "I'm not good at math, yet"  As a teacher, but more importantly as a mom, t...

Someday Never Comes

Someday Never Comes... How often do you say to yourself.... "someday"? Like... some day I will go on that trip..... or some day I will buy that item (insert whatever item you have ever wanted) I hate to break it to you, but someday isn't an actual thing . If we keep waiting for someday to happen then we are going to spend our whole lives waiting.  We do a unit in my Economics class, where we discuss the American Dream. We discuss the traditional dream (probably the dream you know - house, white fence with 2.5 kids and a dog)... but we also talk about the new dream - a dream where people focus less on the tangible things (house, family, dog) and more on fulfillment. (I get it - total millennial thing to say) If you're like me (a total millennial) you have spent a fair amount of your time on YouTube. While History and Theatre certainly are up there on the list of videos that I watch, the videos I watch the most are Ted Talks. (yeah, yeah, yeah,....
