What Are You Learning About Yourself Right Now?

What are you learning about yourself right now?

I'm learning how NOT in control I am. That I need to be continually returning to my faith to put me into a peaceful, loving space. I recognize that I have needed this lesson and I am grateful for it.

I'm learning to embrace myself ... who I TRULY am, not who others have taught me I should be. I am having so much fun with this! I've been letting my "inner hippie" have influence in my decorating and I'm giddy as I watch my hubby grow a ponytail! He's having fun, too!

I'm learning when I focus on what's wrong in life, I'm going to find it every time. I COMMIT to finding the GOOD! I am focusing on what is going WELL!

And TODAY I'm making a Ta-Da list! As opposed to a To-Do list. Instead of seeing everything I DID NOT accomplish at the end of the day. I'm going to see the GOOD things I DID ACCOMPLISH!

So, I'll ask you again. What are you learning?

Finding Comfort in Routines

Finding Comfort in Routines

Do you have a daily routine you follow? Are you more of a schedule person? Would you rather fly by the seat of your pants?


I find great comfort in my daily routines. I have a pretty strict morning routine to launch my day and put me in a good emotional space. This morning foundation has been key in helping us be consistent with our homeschool studies. I am always tweaking and refining it to make it better for the season we're in.


Children naturally find comfort in routines. They LOVE to know what’s coming next! It also reduces the amount of mental energy that’s required to figure out what needs to be done at any given time. It helps to form good habits.


I have afternoon and evening routines that I find help life go more smoothly, too. These involve laundry, getting dinner on the table, and having clean dishes.
