I received an e-mail recently about time-saving tools I could download and print for free.
I had every intention of printing the cute organization sheets, which have clever names like "The Balance Sheet" and promise to make my life less chaotic.
I put the kids to bed and sat down...

I have a great tradition that I do every year. It started in the 3rd grade. It had been a long, hard year with a particularly “not-the-best” teacher. I had made many good friends at this point, other moms whose sons were in the same class as my son. We all decided that we deserved...

In my last post I was talking about what you do when you feel your life, routine, family, relationships, etc… are in a rut. I asked to hear tips before I would share some of my own.
Hmoeckli had some really outstanding suggestions in response:
• Look for dinner...

Great day today considering the weather seems to be a little wacky. Some of you may have read that my mother is also on the same weight loss program as I am. I spoke with her today and she was so excited because she had not seen one of her sisters for almost three months and her sister was so...

If I had to give myself a superhero name, I’d be “The Replacer.” Replacing toilet paper with a single hand! I’m suspecting there are more “Replacers” here then just me. Toilet paper, paper towels, light bulbs, batteries, worn out socks and underware. I replace...

I leave you this weekend with a little food for thought. When was the last time you put your emotional needs first? Not treated yourself with your favorite dinner, or splurged and bought that new bag… but communicated with your family something that was important to you. Or told your...

I am attempting to do the un-thinkable this Fall. I’m working part time, working for myself, PLUS taking three ECE classes. (One on-line and two in Davis.) I happen to have the same teacher for my two face-to-face classes and I adore her. She’s funny, interesting, kind, thought...

Whenever I think to myself, “WOW! This is really a transitional period in life right now”, something will come up to show me that it was really nothing. That was just life… THIS is a transition.
This Tuesday will be my husband’s last day at his current job. He...

Really, I mean it. You can’t do EVERYTHING! I know you THINK you can, you are a mom after all. I’m not saying there is anything you CAN’T do; I’m saying you need to prioritize.
A few times a year, I do a little “life” spring cleaning. Check in with...

Mothers Day is a little bit of a rough time for me. All the flowers, bright pink cards, moms with their kids. Not because I’ve had the loss of a child (I can’t even fathom that experience), or because I don’t get appreciated or spoiled by my family (because I do), but because...

OK so i do not consider myself a battered ex wife or anything like that but i was very afraid of my ex for many years. You would think that now after winning custody and him in jail my fear would diminish. Nope...
My ex wrote to my children and since I get the mail I read it first. I did it...

So my friend and I went down to Colusa Casino on Saturday and stayed the night and then Sunday my mom and step-sister came down to meet us and play high stakes bingo...(which btw I won $600) so it was a great time. My...
