10 Years Later...

I dug this blog up today and wow! Cracked me up to read what I wrote some 10 years ago. It's comforting to see that so many years, and three kids, later some things never change. I still have a great love for reading, writing, "The Bachelor" franchise, and planning. Ha! I also love fitness and trying to stay healthy while doing my best to parent and raise good humans!

If anyone actually reads this...I have a feeling I'll be back again...Until then, cheers!

Symbols and Intrigue Galor: Dan Brown!

Have you read any of Dan Brown's novels?? If you haven't, you should. Right away. There's been some controversy surrounding his work in the past but I think regardless of personal religious beliefs, or lack thereof, they are indisputably interesting and SO good! Years ago I read "The Da Vinci Code" and absolutely loved the it. The movie was pretty good for what it was, from what I can remember. However I've heard "Angels and Demons" was even better. Sadly I didn't get around to reading that one before seeing the movie, which I loved, and can see why others said that story served a better novel than the other. As always, I'm sure there was more to the storyline surrounding the Vatican  and how it unraveled than they were unable to pull together in the movie but it's hard to imagine. Without reading it the movie seemed pretty intricate and complete but I know from experience that there's likely details or meaning that I didn't p...

How Do I Fit My Workout In? Answer: Planning

We all struggle sometimes to balance everything we need and want to do in a day. Common advice is that we need to make the time for things that are truly important us. I know you may be eye-rolling thinking, but when? For me, it's getting up extra early. For others, maybe it's staying up late. For all of us, it's usually a trade off of some kind. The key to fitting a workout into your day is planning.  Creating, and sticking to, a workout routine is all about the planning. Set yourself up for success by planning ahead and thinking of a workout as a given part of your day. This doesn't mean you can never take a day off but once routine is established it's so much easier to stick to. Conversely, once it's broken it can be more challenging to reestablish. More than two days off, the harder it will be to get back at it. If you really want to workout, try what works for me to make a morning workout happen. 1. Plan It.  Write it in your planner. Input it i...

Dear Parents, on the Return of School

Love letter to all you parents out there, with a special shout out to the parents who are also teachers!!  By now most schools are back in session in some way, shape or form and we're all feeling all the feelings. Or maybe you're too busy to (let yourself) feel anything right now and it's going to catch up with you later. Or you're a big fake it til you make it person. Or you're a robot. Those are your options. The word "unprecedented" has been used an unprecedented number of times. So much so that there's a meme wishing for 'precedented' times.  No matter what your school year is starting like, there's some element of change: new protocol, procedures, schedule, physical location, teaching style, requirements, and resources, oh my! So much research, analysis, planning and  work  has been done in order to get this school year under way. Whether your kids are distance learning online at home, going to the actual building, ...
