This mama needs to work out alone. This is much more of a need than a want. Every part of me wants training partners and a team to keep me motivated, but this is just not the season I am currently in. It seems like groups meet either too early or too late. 6 am just does…… Continue reading 5 Ways to get Motivated to Workout Alone
Routines Pt. 4
The Weekend Routine To finish up this series on routines, we are ending with my very favorite part of the whole week: the weekend. We have had some really amazing weekends, but we also have had some really terrible ones. I think the terrible ones are a result of two things. 1. Planning too much…… Continue reading Routines Pt. 4
Grace in the Kitchen
This mama needs grace in the kitchen. I am a pretty average cook in the kitchen. Thankfully I have a husband who is incredibly non-picky and gracious when it comes to my cooking. He is the type of guy that is happy with a meal made up of quinoa, sweet potatoes, and brussel sprouts. He…… Continue reading Grace in the Kitchen
Routines Pt. 3
The Evening Routine Just like all the other parts of the day, I think it is so important to be incredibly intentional with the ends of our days because at least for me, there is a greater temptation to use my evenings just to veg. This almost always leaves me falling asleep wishing I used…… Continue reading Routines Pt. 3
To Read
This mama needs to read. I think a lot of people can relate to this feeling of not feeling like they have time to read. For me, reading can sometimes feel indulgent. The act of just sitting down to read a book that is just for enjoyment can sometimes feel too much like vacation mode. Isn’t…… Continue reading To Read
Routines Pt. 2
The Afternoon Routine I don’t know about you, but I definitely hit a slump in the afternoon. It usually hits around 1pm. The morning energy (aka coffee) has worn off, the realities of the day have begun to set in, and my motivation to get things done is on the decline. I know in the…… Continue reading Routines Pt. 2
To Be Known
This mama needs to be known. For the past couple months, I have been more consistently going to a particular workout class at the yoga studio I go to. Just to set the stage, this is one of those classes that always seems to be full. The teacher is popular and has been teaching classes for…… Continue reading To Be Known
Routines Pt. 1
For the month of February, Saturdays will be all about routines. This will be a four part series exploring ideas for morning, midday, evening, and weekend routines. I am all about routines, especially recently with baby H. Are you with me? Do you love routines too? Read on, then! Are you more of a go…… Continue reading Routines Pt. 1
Coffee
This mama needs coffee. We have a frame in our kitchen that holds the Pinterest-worthy quotation: “All I need today is a little bit of coffee & a whole lot of Jesus”. Okay, okay so in reality I don’t truly need that bit of coffee, it is all Jesus, but that is not to say…… Continue reading Coffee
Coffee-Stained Seashells
Sundays are again becoming my very favorite days of the week. I used to be all about Fridays, especially when I worked. Fridays were always nights Lance and I went out for dinner and it was the beginning of time away from work and students and stress. When we had Hudson, Friday night dinners out…… Continue reading Coffee-Stained Seashells
