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,.... I know - millennial) There is a young entrepreneur by the name of Sean Ogle who speaks about the future of the American Dream.  He's highly entertaining and worth the 15 minutes of your time to watch. However he rounds out his talk with this saying....

There are seven days in the week.... 
but some day isn't one of them

So moms - stop putting off what you want to do. 


Stop letting that mom guilt prevent you from trying something.

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...
