Link Roundup: Oh What Fun

Christmas sure brings out the crazy in some people. I was driving to the gym yesterday so I could burn off some calories before the inevitable parade of Christmas cookies that’s coming next week. Anyhoo, the gym happens to be down the street from the mall. And I apparently forgot that people tend to do…

DIY Aspiration Journal

This week I made a bunch of mini aspiration journals. Ta-da! So, what’s an aspiration journal? Most journals or diaries are places for you to list the mundane things that happened during your day. “Made a sandwich for lunch. It was good.” Kind of boring, right? As an alternative, try keeping an aspiration journal where…

Unhappy Holidays: Dealing With Seasonal Sadness

She’ll run through the mud playing fetch with Chris, and she’ll dig in the wet sandbox at the park with me. Our beige carpet has become quite speckled…

Why You Should Take a Nap Today

If you’re like most women, you’re probably moving at 100 miles per hour from the moment you wake up until the second you crawl into bed at night, utterly exhausted and drained. What else are we supposed to do? We have our jobs, family obligations, errands to run, meetings to attend, dinner to cook, dogs…
