Well if there’s one thing you can count on around here it’s that I’m not always meeting my goals which is how Thursday Thoughts turned itself today into Friday’s afterthought. It seems there are more things to do than hours in the day and that just never stops being true. Not only do I run…

Time Is Hard
I'm doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don't have enough posts yet to keep 'em coming so we are gonna share some words I've written for other sites and give them a permanent home on this site. So, without further ado... With each passing year as we draw…
Milo Monday and Factory Resets
Have you ever taken away your kids electronics and then realized that the one you have actually punished is yourself? Yea. That happened. But also, something else cool happened. It was a great weekend. We hung out. Remember hanging out? Like families used to when I was a kid. It was relaxing and calm weekend…
Here’s The Thing
Let me tell you. I don't want this blog to turn into a social media bash fest but like it's the only thing going on in my head right now so I guess it is kind of going to work itself out that way. Do you know what's great about that? That it can. Because…
Milo Monday and Christmas Chill
You know what my favorite part of being off of social media during the holiday season is? Not worrying about all the things I should be doing with my kids. I know there are tons and tons and tons of Christmas events going on that range from free to college savings and historically, I have…

I have been living in a fog and impressing my children with my "hardcore" and…

I'm doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don't have enough posts yet to keep 'em coming so we are gonna share some words I've written for other sites and give them a permanent home on this site. So, without further ado... There’s a phrase I use to describe…
Milo Monday and a Yummy Recipe
It's already the Monday after Thanksgiving. I don't know about you but this holiday weekend flew by and we are officially in the "after the 1st of the year season!" This time of year is my absolute favorite. I mean for all the obvious reasons like people are nicer and all the lights glowing after…
Thursday Thoughts: Thanksgiving Edition
I only have one thought I'm thinking today and other than all the delicious food I plan to consume, it's this. Well, hold on, I actually have a little more suspense that I think I'd like to build up. Yea. I do. I could go into a whole spiel (read shh-peel because who knows how…
Dear Diary
Well I’ve been off of social media for 27 days now. Like off, off. Like not even logging in to check something real quick, off. Which is approximately 27 days after I claimed I was getting off social media. I guess I would say I had to taper off of the socials. I mean give…
