What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

Do you ever have days where you have no energy and you do not felling like doing anything in the world? I am not too proud to admit that I have seen many no-energy days where it feels almost impossible to do anything. Let me tell you, I had two hard-core, no energy at all days, last week. January was getting to me or something! All I wanted to do was wallow on my sofa, but then I felt guilty about not getting my stuff done. Sometimes I do not even know why I have no energy. Maybe it’s hormones, […]

Time for a 2024 Planning Session!

For my 2024 planning session, I sat down with my calendar, a pen, and the kids’ school calendars and roughly planned out the entire year. Have you ever tried that? It sounds simple, but I tell you. I am not sure I have ever done this before. There is something about the possibility of moving that makes you suddenly go into planning overdrive. I have had this 2024 planning session sitting in my calendar for a couple of weeks now, and I keep pushing it off. Sure, it is definitely time to plan out 2024, but when it comes to […]

Free spirits do not need a schedule. Try this instead.

Have you ever seen a work schedule for free spirits? Over the past few months, I have written about how to create a work schedule as a work at home mom at least two different times. First, I wrote this article about creating the schedule, and then I wrote about how I was tweaking my schedule because my first one did not work. Well, it may come as no surprise to anyone that my second schedule did not work either. Then I began to feel sad about my problem of never being able to stick to any schedule that I […]

Big progress & a looming setback for my writing business this month

I have not done an update on my blogging and writing business goal progress in a while. But I have been working very hard on my writing goals! Let’s start with the looming setback in my writing business because that lit some fire under my rear end to motivate me to get to earning more money… I got an email that said I will soon owe $400 in Bluehost web hosting fees. They have definitely gone up on their rates. Ouch. Then my Canva bill came due for over $100. Without Canva, I cannot make all of my pretty images […]

15 Helpful Self Improvement Quotes Straight from the Bible

When it comes to inspirational quotes on things like self improvement, character, life choices, anything like that, I think your best source is straight from the Bible. Think about it. Who do you want your life to please? Yourself? Your sister? Or your judgy neighbor? Your parents? Or your kids? It cannot be done. We cannot live to please all these people we know. Only we know our own whole story. Only us, and God. All we need to please is God. Well how do we even do that? In what ways to do we even need to bother with […]

Exciting Progress on My New Blog, as Well as a Few Setbacks

Today I want to tell you all about the progress I am making on my new blog, the good, the exciting, and the discouraging news too. We are officially entering the second quarter of 2023. There has been such a huge learning curve for me on all of this. For years, I was turning away blogging work, and now that I WANT to make money, I have zero offers. That is just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. I know if I buckle down and write, and I BUILD another awesome blog space, the opportunities will come. For now, they aren’t […]

The Time Saving Mom Book is A Useful Resource

The Time Saving Mom Book Review This week I purchased the brand new book, The Time Saving Mom, by New York Times bestselling author Crystal Paine. I bought this book because it fits my interests and the niche of this blog perfectly. One of my favorite things to do is read about how to make my life better. I like to read a million tips and then maybe only actually do two of them. Ha! Do you do that? I ordered the hardback version from Amazon and carried it around the house with me. Me carrying this book around was […]

Deborah Smith was One of Our Greatest Answered Prayers.

You might be thinking, “Well, who is Deborah Smith?” Where to even begin? Deborah Smith was one of the greatest ladies I have ever met. She was definitely one of the wisest people I have ever known in real life. In fact, I cannot think of anyone wiser. I always thought of Deborah as a godly mentor who I aspired to be more like. Deborah blessed our entire family’s life. She changed us for the better. And she passed away this past week from a very aggressive cancer. Deborah could not have been older than her fifties either, so she […]

A Quick & Easy Way to Do Monthly Goal Setting

When I have a big goal that I am working on, I love the start of a new month. It is the perfect time to monitor my progress towards my goals and do my monthly goal setting for the month ahead. It is especially exciting when I have real measurable progress to celebrate and can also identify ways to grow as I keep going. Last year I wrote all about the usefulness of having a Monthly Planning Session, especially when life is extra busy or you have a major project going on. I do stand by that article. However, there […]
