Helping Moms Raise Kids With Special Needs
This post is sponsored by LubeLife; all opinions are my own. This year, my husband and I hit our 20th year wedding anniversary and the 26th year since the date we met. Yes, we were hopelessly romantic in our youth and married on the calendar date we met, 7 years later! Not only that, but our HALF (6-month) anniversary was the day after Valentine’s Day,
Ok, so I’m someone who thrives in disorder. (I think the nice way to say it is that I enjoy spontaneity, but that’s not 100% honest!) When you work at home, though, the disorder can kill your creativity, and believe me, that’s a problem whether you are a programmer OR a creative writer. But you need to cut through the chaos and that’s why I’m sharing these
A few weeks ago, a friend asked me about yoga. “I don’t know anything about it,” she said. I was very surprised – I thought everyone knew about yoga and the benefits it can provide a stressed-out mom! My love of yoga started when I had a job with a reduced fee gym membership.

All four of us have become more sedentary. We need to get back to healthy family activities that all of us can enjoy to
As I mentioned to you, I’m back in the gym. About a year and a half ago, I joined a cheapie gym and while there was nothing wrong with it, it offered me little to no accountability. My husband and were accountability partners and we went from 4-5 days in our first year down to once a week to 1 to zero. We eventually just
Ok, so if you want to lose weight quickly and easily, what can you do? The answer is one I’ve been dodging forever, but I’m on a new route to kick my own ass into gear on every level, particularly things I’m afraid. The answer is: You have to get your ass kicked. As I progress through my 50s, it’s become harder and harder to
