  The Reason

  During the last couple of months, I’ve recognized within myself a need to explain myself, to talk about the reason for my blog, the reason why I resort to writing up such lengthy posts every week. In a couple more months I’m looking at a few changes to the regular posts, an upgrade of sorts.…

  The Aging Process

  I’m aging every day. If you met me today, I’d be older than when you’d met me before. That’s just a fact of life. No one is ever going to age backwards or get younger as days and years go by. So, why do we keep trying to do it? I remember a few months…

  Distract Yourself

  No matter the size, find a distraction! Let me explain. The monotony of everyday living can lead to boredom, depression, anxiety or sometimes much worse. Having something to focus your attention on when you’ve got nothing else going for you or just too much can sometimes even be a life saver. On some occasions, the…

  Are we not our brother’s keeper?

  What is the purpose of life? What is our role in existence? Why are we here? Where are we going after this? What do we do while we’re waiting? Some days the monotony of everyday life gets to me., and I start asking no one in particular these questions. Is this just me? Or does…

  What Am I Even Doing? (Part 2)

  Continuing with my thought process from last week, what am I even doing with my role as a mom? Am I doing enough? Do I have enough of a positive impact on my children’s lives that they will do well without me one day? What is their father doing in all of this confusion? What…

  Moving Past the Blame Game

  This week I want to get into a tricky topic for me. It may still only be a tip of the iceberg, but I want to make an attempt at it. Being a strong people pleaser (some may debate this, but I assure you if I wasn’t, things would have been a lot worse than…

  Lazy Days

  My major accomplishment last Tuesday was getting my oldest child ready for school – it was one of those special days they have at schools now-a days. It was “Superhero Day” and she had chosen to be Catgirl. I had spent every day from Saturday through to Tuesday morning preparing for her so everything would…

  Starting something

  Last week my middle child started Term 2 after her winter break. Since she goes to a different school than my oldest, they had their breaks at different times. She went to school while the older one had winter break and vice versa. Going back to school after the holidays wasn’t so hard for her,…

  Am I really? This is one of the hardest things to say while completely meaning it, am I right? Over the years I’ve used this word so much that sometimes I even apologize for something that isn’t my fault. I have since found out that I’m not alone in this and that there are so…
