What you need to know for when life doesn’t go as planned

A few weeks ago we ordered brand spankin’ new convection double wall ovens – yay! I love a good, fully functioning appliance :), and our ovens have been on their last legs since we bought our house 4 years ago. They squeak when they preheat…cook, and cool down too.

Feeling Sleepy Thanks to Daylight Savings? Try this!

I don’t know about you, but this time change has me feeling all out of sorts! It’s soooooo dark so early that I’m basically ready for bed by 6pm (which by the way, feels way more like midnight).  And I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter that others are feeling the same. So I thought…

Do you ever feel like you’re living in Groundhogs Day? You wake up with big plans for today to be different, but then somehow you keep doing different versions of the same thing over and over and over again. No matter how hard you try – you keep reliving the same experience. You wonder to…

A strategy to transform your life

The end of 2009 was a really rough time for me. It was just before the holidays when I had had a miscarriage at 14 weeks. Even just typing this now brings tears to my eyes. I can still feel the heartbreak and devastation. I truly did not know how to keep going. This was…
