Morgan came into the living room today and for the first time found me favorite blanket ever. It is so soft and thick, and I absolutely feel so warm and cuddled when I curl up with it. It is so thick it even works when laid on the floor for a pseudo bed mat. He’s …
Grab Your Shovel
Consider the statements: “The sandbox is big enough for both of us.” Or: “You don’t have to step on the other person to succeed, you can elevate each other and both win.” The inverse statements are out there as well. The discouraging ones. The words that keep you from pushing forward. The words that hold …
Home Schooling…
Good morning from the Lakehouse Schooling from home is crazy… and there are moments I want to call it in and give up. But… here’s a few blessings that I’ve noticed through this: I get to see my kids throughout the day.I get to enjoy all meals with them.I get to take Morgan out on …
Simple Stuff
Waking up knowing that I can heat or cool my home by a simple switch, or turn water on in any of the 3 bathrooms in the house… I know first hand what a blessing that is. Don’t take the simple stuff for granted. Today, remember the heroes that thought of others first, and lost …
Having a Bad Day?
The fires out west are devastating. As I’m watching the news this morning for the first time in literally months, I’m seeing the videos of the loss and the devastation in Oregon and California. As I’ve been reflecting on our fire since we’ve finally been getting close to being done, it especially hits home when …

Reflections
To lose a loved one is terrible. Even if it’s a furry loved one. We had a house fire almost 3 years ago and we lost our two fur babies as a result. They were the only thing that we lost that literally broke me. As I was walking around today with my cup looking …
Tasking Chores
In the past I have hated laundry. But I realize I never hated laundry… I hated feeling like I was a servant. It was a mind set. If you feel like you hate a task, redirect the thought process and try to determine if it’s the actual task, or is it the location of the …
Hidden Treasures
I found a stickbug today! It’s really cool. When you stop and marvel at what is around us, and step out of the day to day grind, you can catch a glimpse of the amazing world around us. How often do we walk by the field of flowers and forget to look at the gift …
Love. Every. Damn. Day
My shirt says “Love Every Damn Day”. What I love about the shirt is there is no punctuation- so you can read this a couple ways… LOVE every damn day. Focus on the action. The concept of Loving others. Love every damn DAY. Focusing on the day, loving it however it comes. Knowing you will …
