When my boys were young, they were rambunctious. I had a difficult time managing their high energy levels as well as my expectations of them. I had never been tackled-hugged in all my life before having them. Once they entered my world, tackle-hugs were the norm. Whenever we were home for extended periods, negotiating their...
When I write a post, I usually have many points I want to get across relating to a specific topic. My goal for this article is to make it more generalized. I want you to fill in the blanks to make this idea work for you. It will look different for everyone. I will give...
I often wonder, living in a technology obsessed culture the way we do, if the art of conversation is slowly dying out. To add another layer to the often difficult nature of conversing one-on-one, I also am an introverted writer. Most times when I am out in the world I find myself struggling to connect...
People show us we matter in a variety of ways. When we truly matter to someone, they show up for us with comforting consistency. They answer our calls or texts, even in the middle of the night, and they do so with regularity. A busy person can still show you that you matter to them....
A few weeks back while we were enjoying our holiday break, I was seated in a common area of a family friendly gym we were visiting. My boys and husband were finishing up the last bit of their workout, and I had a couple of minutes to myself. As an introvert immersed in the middle...
Ever since we were able to reincorporate dogs back into our home well over three years ago, daily walks are a part of my life. When I had my first dog, Kisses (may she rest in peace), I walked that dog all over Wrigleyville. As my family expanded and we moved to the suburbs, my...
I don’t know how it’s going for you thus far into the New Year, but are you hanging in there with resolutions? Personally, I don’t like to use the word resolution. This term seems too black and white. Either you resolved to do something or you didn’t. There isn’t much wiggle room and this makes...
Currently my husband’s work travel is on hold until next year. I am preparing myself for the coming trips of 2017. I already have learned so much from his time away this year that I’m hoping that it will be easier on all of us in the future. The biggest change I would like to...
For some reason the moment I think I have the holiday season under control, that is the exact moment an influx of more things to do falls in my lap. My goal is to get all my holiday shopping done ASAP so I can actually enjoy myself. I felt so accomplished after my shopping trip...
Well, it’s finally over. Whether you are happy with the outcome of the 2016 presidential election or not I think we all are breathing a collective sigh of relief that it’s done. This is the first election where I was extremely aware of how much my boys were exposed to in terms of media coverage....
