Workout Daily Planner – Printable
The new year is here and that means many of us are thinking about how we could do this year better than the last. It is easy during the holidays to get off track with our schedules and our health. I created this daily planner printable that includes space to track your workout, food intake, weight, and goals, along with the daily schedule/to-do list. My hope is that this planning sheet will help me get back on track.

Declutter Your Living Space| Living On Purpose
My theme for this year is to live on purpose. Life is too short to allow time to slip by “accidentally”. One way I am going to use my time more wisely is to stop spending so much time cleaning. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? But with 3 kids, who are home ALL THE TIME, it seems impossible. However, if you have less stuff, you have less mess. Getting rid of the clutter in you life and organizing so that what you have has a space greatly reduces the amount of time needed to keep your home clean. Let’s begin… Knowing where to start when attacking clutter is the hardest part;…
Spring Garden Prep
Spring is here! Which means it’s time to prep the garden. If you have never gardened before I urge you to give it a try. Your garden can be as big or small as you are comfortable with so don’t let the thought of a garden intimidate you. If you don’t have a lot of space or are nervous about maintaining a large garden try a container garden or small raised bed. Gardening is a great way to slow down, spend time together working as a family, enjoy the outdoors and have your hard work rewarded with fresh veggies. Garden Prep First, you need to decide the type of garden…
Things To Do If You Are Stuck At Home
We have never in our lifetime known a time like this! I respect the efforts of everyone trying to stop and prevent the spread of the virus. With that said, a lot of schools are closing, events are being cancelled and people are being told to work from home. SO here we are, stuck at home…. now what?!?!? While I don’t in any way rejoice that there is a virus scare, I do want to encourage you to make the most of the little bit of extra time you may find you now have. Here are a few ways you can fill that time and beat the COVID-19 blues. Start…
Attitude – It’s All In How You Look At It
Good days can be hard to come by. At times, it can seem like all we get are, at best, sub par days. There isn’t always a lot we can do to avoid bad days. Things happen that are out of our control ALL THE TIME. We can keep having rough days or we can choose to look at things differently. When I wake up in the morning, I can think about how much I don’t want to get out of bed or I can think of it as a chance to do better than the day before. I can complain about every little thing that goes wrong in my…
Make Your Health A Priority
In January, I encouraged you to take time to embrace the slow pace of the winter months and use it to make a plan for the rest of the year. Now that it is February, I hope you are recharged and ready with a plan! This month, I want to focus on taking care of yourself. At the end of January, my dad had a heart attack. And while you know your parents won’t live forever, you most likely ignore that fact (why would you want to think about something that upsetting?). My dad survived but his life has completely changed. With this in mind and my birthday this month,…
Create A Space of Purpose & Peace
How do you feel about your “space”? Your space can be your home, your office, bedroom, wherever you have designated as your “hang out” spot. That is your space. When you look around your space, does it make you feel happy and at peace? Or does it make you feel frustrated, over whelmed and a little crazy? This month we are spending time setting ourselves up for success this year. One thing we need to do for this to happen is to set up our “space” for peace. When you walk into your space I want you to feel an overwhelming sense of calm and happiness. How do we create…
Embrace The Slower Pace Of Winter
When you think of winter, you may think of snow and the cold, shorter daylight hours, the winter blues and how the season drags on longer than all the other seasons (or at least it feels that way). As much as I dread the painfully cold weather, I actually appreciate the winter season for it’s slower pace. Here’s why… I use the slower pace of winter to get inspired, make plans and get organized. I’ve notice that as soon as Spring hits, time starts to fly and my calendar is full. Before I know it we are at the end of the year and I don’t know how we got…
Make A Plan For 2020
There are only 2 days left in 2019! I am taking these last 2 days to decide what I want this next year to look like. I want 2020 to be a year of intention and for that I need to have a plan. Here's how...
30 Days of Gratitude
November is here! For a lot of people their minds are already on Christmas. Some can barely wait (or don’t) to put their Christmas tree up and start “The most wonderful time of the year”! But I am going to encourage you to pause the rush into Christmas and spend time to focus on gratitude. November leads up to Thanksgiving, so there is no better time to acknowledge all the things we are grateful for in out lives, big or small. Here’s the deal, every day this November spend a moment to write down something you are thankful for. Maybe it is your family, job, or roof over you head.…
