Day 31: Breaking Through The Chrysalis

Are You Living A Life With Time To Live?

February 19, 2020 by not your average mom 1 Comment

May 5, 2018 by not your average mom 1 Comment

Life with kids is inevitably going to be hectic and chaotic at times. Especially once your kids get involved in sports and other extra curricular activities. If you have one kid in one activity that is bad enough. When you have more than one kid over the age of five that’s when things can get […]

Decluttering Isn’t Only About “Stuff.” Less Yes, And More NO.

February 6, 2017 by not your average mom 3 Comments

When is the last time you said No? And I don’t mean no to things like Mom, can I stay up until the Super Bowl is over? or Mom, can I eat chocolate chip cookies for dinner tonight? or Mom, can we get a kitten? I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, reflecting and evaluating in […]
