I’m not sure, but I might be approaching a mid-life crisis. In the last week I’ve experienced hot flashes, the inability to wear high heels and to top it all off I broke out into some weird hive-like rash which has caused the left half of my body to itch like crazy. I think itContinue reading “Is This Is a Mid-Life Crisis?”

Today I Will Find Joy
Today I will find joy. Today I will count my blessings, smile more, appreciate all that is right in my world. I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been finding myself worrying too much. Like Olympic size worrying. Are my children happy? Will they turn in their homework, will they make good choices, findContinue reading “Today I Will Find Joy”
Advice From a Parenting Expert
I was recently asked to submit an article for a website called: Power of Moms. I believe I mentioned them in my last post, but basically it’s a great, free site, that focuses on “deliberate motherhood.” But it’s been challenging for me to write an article for the site because I keep thinking, “whatContinue reading “Advice From a Parenting Expert”
Embracing Imperfection
My original goal when I started this blogging adventure was to find a way to be held accountable for trying to get myself and the kids organized. I think that was a noble goal but I’ve realized that all that’s really come out of it is that I’m starting to realize that I’m a littleContinue reading “Embracing Imperfection”
The Calm Before the Storm
As I sit here at the computer I was struck by how peaceful I actually feel for a minute. The house is quiet with only two of the six here, dinner is cooking on the stove, the house is clean (alright–my bed isn’t made and there are a few clothes on the tub but it’sContinue reading “The Calm Before the Storm”
Dare I say: progress?
The back to school craziness is in full swing here at the Morgans. Here’s the calendar I spent 2 hours figuring out the other night: I was pretty proud of myself for putting that together–I’m just hoping I still have the gumption to do it when October comes around…I cannot tell you the number ofContinue reading “Dare I say: progress?”
My Disneyland Epiphany
I know that I devised this blog originally as a place to vent my frustration and hold myself accountable for some changes for myself and my children. And for those of you who have been following along since the beginning of this little journey (and seriously, if you’ve managed to stay with me, props toContinue reading “My Disneyland Epiphany”
Where Did I Put That Kid?
Do you ever feel like you’re losing your mind? Because most days I feel a little nuts. Let me explain. I was over at the school the other day fitting band kids for uniforms and while I can create a super organized system for outfitting 130 marchers I can’t seem to keep track of myContinue reading “Where Did I Put That Kid?”
"Wipe Out Winco Style" and other morning adventures.
It’s been a pretty crazy week at our house as Wednesday we sent Carter off on his mission. It’s a strange feeling leading up to sending a missionary off–or a college student I suppose. You feel like the clock is ticking down and you should be making the most of your time left but youContinue reading “"Wipe Out Winco Style" and other morning adventures.”
Criminal Minds–Morgan style
I hate moles. Almost as much as I hate hot dogs which is saying quite a lot. Without fail every spring/summer some nefarious mole decides that the Morgan lawn offers up some tasty treats and he reeks havoc on our lawn. It pretty much makes me crazy. We did a bunch of research onContinue reading “Criminal Minds–Morgan style”
