If you totally immerse yourself in hygge, you will feel awesome. In fact, as I was getting my material ready for this episode, I had candles lit, the fireplace on, the station Acoustic Chill on my Alexa, and a kissed caramel hot chocolate. Let’s talk about how you can get your hygge on!
Having a child go off to college causes the feeling of grief. I’m thinking it just has to run its course I guess. But there’s a twist. It feels like my son broke up with me, and I just really want him to like me. The funny thing is, I know he likes me, in fact he loves me! But all of a sudden he is on his own and busy with new friends (again a good thing) and classes and basketball that when I call, he is constantly rushing to get me off the phone. He called once just to chat, and boy, was I on top of the world. Seriously, though, it feels like I am grieving with a side of a break up. I have been doing a ton of things just to keep myself from having to stop and cry. Here's how I'm keeping myself from losing it...

If you have been listening for awhile, you have heard me talk about the importance of journaling. I have been journaling daily for a few years now, and it has really changed my life. I wanted to dive in and tell you in detail about how I journal exactly, because I came to the realization that I never really explained the type of journaling that I do!
See, journaling can be intimidating, even to me. And just so you know, when I write in a journal, I am not writing on a blank page. Oh no, now THAT would be intimidating. I keep a blank journal on me at all times, especially at work, but that is for jotting down the millions of thoughts and ideas that run through my mind all day. I think often people like the idea of journaling, but really don’t know where to begin.
In today's episode, I talk about the new journal created for busy people or for anyone who sees the value in journaling, but has been intimidated by staring at a blank page. Look no further, and watch your life change with my brand new Create the Awesome Journal!

I am the type of person who does not like to work out. I don’t like diets. I love bar food, fried food, homemade baked goods and so much more food that is super bad for you. I love going out to eat.
I wonder if any of these character traits resonate with you? If so, I bet you are wondering how I did it (and I kept it off and I am still losing). Listen to this episode to see what I did.

I have no intention of not doing it weekly, but I am feeling a little anxious about school starting just like I do every year, but there is added stress with all of the changes due to the corona virus, and that is what I want to talk about today.
If this is your first time listening, I am a mom and a teacher. I have been teaching 5th grade for most of my 23 years. I have a son going into college, a daughter who is in high school, and my youngest is going into 3rd grade. In addition, my husband’s boys are going into junior high and high school.
