Motivation Through Movement

This was an event put on by Womeness Community just over a month ago that I attended. I’m at a point in my life where I’m actively trying to do things differently than I’ve done before, After the last event that I attended from Womeness… well, I found people I could not only learn fromContinue reading “Motivation Through Movement”

After Dinner Drive

The kids and I had a very busy day on Monday. So, yesterday… we stayed home and relaxed. They were excellent throughout the day but decided to go nuts when my husband came home from work, so I got in my car to go for a drive. I was essentially on autopilot as I wasContinue reading “After Dinner Drive”

Family Dinner

For a few years now, we have had family dinner with my sister and her family on Monday nights. We started off weekly when we were working on assignments/projects for school together. Life changed rather abruptly when COVID hit and that just went away. We finally resumed and decided to drop down to just onceContinue reading “Family Dinner”

Fast and Testimony Meeting

Each month in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we fast and contribute our fast offerings (the cost of the meals we did not eat) to the local leaders to assist families in our area that stand in need. As part of our fast, we also have a testimony meeting. Instead of assignedContinue reading “Fast and Testimony Meeting”

Successes

It’s officially one week since the kids have been in our home. It’s been an interesting week, but here are the successes. We eat dinner each night as a family. Whether that means cooking a meal or getting take out. Dinner time has become a real awesome experience. We have had good conversations with bothContinue reading “Successes”

Yesterday

Since I found out good news from my doctors, I’ve been slowly letting people know that I get to resume my routines and rejoin my community events. I’ve been on cloud 9. I can’t wait to see my people in person and work my mental and emotional stuff out through sweat and tears, instead ofContinue reading “Yesterday”

Today

So, where do I begin? Yesterday, was hard. But, last night I slept. And was able to stay in bed for longer than usual this morning… which made the kids much easier to work with. They got to see their mom this morning while I went to my doctor appointment. The doctor appointment was goodContinue reading “Today”

This Might Be Something Else…

The world of parenting is hard. The world of parenting through trauma is harder. The world of parenting through trauma while I’m swimming/drowning through my own trauma is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. It was a hard day. Kids were being kids and it escalated to hitting. Which ledContinue reading “This Might Be Something Else…”

Memorial Day

I spent the morning at cyclebar taking in the atmosphere, music, people, and just enjoying some me time. Three classes of great music, motivation, and face time with some of favorite people in my community. I didn’t ride in any of the classes… but being there was so needed. I was reminded that my bodyContinue reading “Memorial Day”

Sunday is a Special Day

Today was the first time in over 7 years that Justin and I went to church with kids. To fill up a bench with just our family is one of my dreams and it happens so infrequently that today… I had to keep biting on my flavorless gum to remind myself that this is myContinue reading “Sunday is a Special Day”
