Took a half day off work today and got to spend so

Took a half day off work today and got to spend some quality time with my kiddos.

Earlier in my career I only took time off if I had a vacation planned. I felt like it was a waste to take time off to do normal stuff.

And now I feel like taking time away to do normal things or just to rest is necessary.

Sharing a more about a day in the life on my stories if you are curious about how I manage things as a working mom!

A little background on #2. I had a friend recent

A little background on #2.

I had a friend recently who said that they were feeling lonely after moving to a new area.
She was looking for new friends and having a hard time meeting other women due to her work schedule.

She said “I have very little extra time, but I figured if I was feeling this way, other moms might be too. So I decided to start a dinner club for women who had the same work schedule as me.”

I love this.

Sometimes the desires God has put on your heart are intended to drive you to action that will benefit not only you but others around you.

What is one thing you are looking forward to this week?

What do you want? (Read like Notebook Noah) We

What do you want?
(Read like Notebook Noah)

We try to ask ourselves a lot of times “what do I want” but we change constantly. So what we want is an ever moving target.

When we ask, “what does God want” we get a more consistent answer.
That gives us a purpose that is unchanging.
Love God and love people.

How we do that differs for all of us, but the calling is all the same.

I’m challenging this community to find one way to love others this week.
Send a text to a friend, donate baby items to a family in need, pray for someone else.

Comment below with ❤️ if you are accepting the challenge!

Just a reminder that no matter how hard you work,

Just a reminder that no matter how hard you work, how organized you are, how many systems you put in place for a streamlined life - you still need Jesus.

Have a great week!

You can find me digging out of a pile of emails for the next 3 days after being on vacation for a week. 🤣

Happy October! We are in the LAST 3 MONTHS of 2

Happy October!

We are in the LAST 3 MONTHS of 2021!

Who else feels like this year has flown by? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Look back on the goals you set at the start of the year (this is why it is important to write your intentions down!)
- what have you already done that you hoped you would do?
- what do you still want to do this year?

Remember that there is nothing magical about January 1st but the best time to start implementing healthy habits for you and your family is today!

Make time to date your spouse. Even if that means

Make time to date your spouse. Even if that means spending 5 hours walking a golf course in the heat.

We saw gators, pretty ocean views and Eric played really well on this PGA course. Plus if you swipe you’ll see that I spent most of my time snacking. 😂

We had such a fun time and I’m glad for the time we have gotten just the two of us - but I’m definitely ready to get home and see our littles!

What is the most fun date you and your spouse have been on?

Does anyone else fall into a “worry first” pat

Does anyone else fall into a “worry first” pattern?

Growing up, my mom always told us to “wait before you wig” - a rough translation of Matthew 6:34.

“Do not worry about tomorrow… for each day has enough troubles of its own”

There is no shortage of things to worry about but I’ve learned from experience that it sucks the joy from your life.

Which #motivationmonday point resonates most with you today?

Felt like this dress needed a spot on my feed. 🥰

This weekend was so fun in all the best ways.
Watching my kids play/participate in team sports.
Seeing friends that I’ve had since we were 6.
Watching another childhood friend get married with a perfect wedding.

Community is so important and can leave you feeling mentally refreshed while also physically exhausted 😌

Tag someone from your community and let them know you appreciate them!
