My 12-year-old son LOVES Subway. Like way more than a normal person should. We were driving home from the doctor yesterday, just the two of us, and he, of course, asked if we could go to Subway for lunch. If I took him to Subway every time he asked we wouldn’t be able to pay […]
I love to travel! I’m pretty sure my husband thinks I’m a total nut job about it. Before we met, he hadn’t really traveled much. According to Facebook, we’ve now been to 41 places together — in just a few short years. He doesn’t understand why I love it so much and he smiles in […]
I was chatting with a friend this week when someone close to her texted. She explained that her friend was having a hard time because her daughter had just come out as a lesbian and she was afraid of what her friends and family would say. I see this kind of thing a lot with […]
If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do? I was pondering this the other day. It was interesting to watch my brain cross off almost everything as unimportant. When it came down to it, the ONLY thing I cared about is spending time with my family and telling them I love […]
This past week something unexpected came up which resulted in me jumping in the car immediately and changing my plans for the afternoon. The moment I merged onto the freeway my gas light came on. I hadn’t planned on this little excursion so the level of gas in my vehicle wasn’t on my radar. My […]
In the past week or so, I’ve somehow found myself in multiple conversations with women who believe they are married to or in a relationship with the wrong man because that man isn’t meeting her needs.

I have 7 blisters on my feet, one of which is the size of Montana. I hiked 40 miles in 3 days. I carried a pack that weighed 20% of my body weight. I forged rivers. I scaled mountains using chains to keep me from falling to my death. I slept on the ground. I […]
I live in what feels like the MLM capital of the world. Almost every mom I know sells something. Doterra, Young Living, Norwex, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Mary Kay, Maskara, Scentsy, Color Street, LuLaRoe… it’s everywhere. I’ve never sold any of it. Ever. The thought of relying on my friends and family to buy stuff from […]
Every Tuesday night during the month of October we’re doing Tuesday Night Terrors at our house. Basically, we gather the kids, cuddle up in blankets, and watch a scary movie. This past Tuesday we watched “Signs.” One of my favorite thoughts I’ve adopted since I started coaching is “Everything is exactly as it should be” […]
