Making Time And Decluttering My Brain

October 24, 2019 by not your average mom 2 Comments

One of the things I work a lot on with the members of Not Your Average Fitness Course is using time effectively and finding time in the day to exercise (because lack of time is one of the biggest reasons women give for not making exercise a part of their routine). Recently I have been […]

A Not-So-Facebook-Perfect-Afternoon (We all have them!)

November 8, 2018 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

Sometimes my kids are really really really good. They cooperate with each other nicely, they work together, and play together, they are generally happy to be around each other, and they are nice to each other and enjoy each other’s company, and I say to myself, “I am doing a pretty good job.” These are […]

Out Of The Fog

February 2, 2018 by not your average mom 6 Comments

The day before yesterday, I shared on Facebook that I’m struggling with a bout of depression. It’s largely situational, and I know what has brought it on. Marital and financial struggles continue to challenge me, and so I’ve kind of been riding the depression fence. It wasn’t going to take much to cause me to […]

I’ve Changed My Mind About The Elf On The Shelf. Sort Of.

November 24, 2017 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

The Elf On The Shelf pictures are starting. A few years ago, I wrote a post about my near hatred for the EOTS. At the time I wrote that, I was knee deep in little kids and chaos, and the thought of adding one more item to my list of things to think about and […]

A Wake Up Call (All Puns Intended)

November 6, 2017 by not your average mom 3 Comments

I had an a-ha moment yesterday. Why I need to be slammed over the head with these things repeatedly before I get them, I don’t know. But that’s how it seems to work for me. I have a history of depression.  Fifteen or so years ago, I was hospitalized (for the first time) and consequently […]
