7 Quick Takes: October 28, 2011 (Vol. 101)

~ 1 ~ I’ve noticed that I have been spending less time on Facebook and Twitter lately.  (Not so much on the Pinterest front though.  Still lovin’ me some Pinterest.)  In fact, my Klout score even kind of tanked.  I was glad that when I saw that, I didn’t even flinch.  I figure that meant [...]

7 Quick Takes: September 2, 2011 (Vol. 95)

~ 1 ~ This week, I launched the blog that I have been avoiding. It was a quiet launch.  It doesn’t even feel like launch is the right word, actually.  Let’s say, instead, that I started a blog and told some people about it.  That’s more the speed of it. It’s called Striving for Less, [...]

10 Things I Don’t Do

I know that in the past, I have had people comment that I have given them a complex because it seems like I do it all.  After that, I’ve tried to be very real and open about my shortcomings (which are many).  I’m just a real Mom who has real struggles. To prove this, I [...]

7 Quick Takes: July 29, 2011 (Vol. 90)

~ 1 ~ I looked around, but couldn’t find where I had shared information about our latest trip to the cardiologist with Jack.  So, I’m guessing that means that I haven’t shared it. Anyway, after our last couple of appointments have not gone well, we were thrilled to hear things like that the doctor was [...]

Finding Joy :: Week 1

Last week, at long last, I introduced Finding Joy (check it out to read more about my motivation and what it’s all about).  The Twitter-ized version is that I am going to try to work on various areas of my life that I think will bring more joy into my life and help me to [...]

7 Quick Takes: May 27, 2011 (Vol. 82)

~ 1 ~ This week I came to a very important diet decision.  I know I have alluded to it, but Eric and I have been on a very strict, very restrictive low carb/high protein diet for a few weeks now.  While we had some good weight loss, it was starting to take a lot [...]

7 Quick Takes: May 6, 2011 (Vol. 80)

~ 1 ~ Why do people have to make so many addictive things online? I needed another site that frequently check in on like I needed a root canal.  But, alas, I do have another site that I love thanks to my girlfriends that I spent the weekend with recently. Pinterest If you’re not familiar [...]

7 Quick Takes: April 8, 2011 (Vol. 77)

~ 1 ~ We traveled this week to have a family gathering at my Grandparents’ house.  (Yes, as a matter of fact, I do plan to keep calling it my Grandparents’ house, even though my Grandma has been gone for almost a year now.)  This is our fifth time going to visit in the past [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 28, 2011 (Vol. 68)

~ 1 ~ I’ve been working on eating better the last couple of weeks, though I’ve had off days and on days.  Nothing has been really steady, even though I had told myself that I would really focus on healthier eating and exercise when I got home from vacation. This week, however, I downloaded the [...]

10 Things I’d Like to Do in 2011

This isn’t so much a resolutions post as a 2011 wish list, let’s say.  Mind you, this is a wish list with items that I actually have some control over (things that my actions could actually make them happen).  So, 2011, if I could write a wish list for what I want from you, here [...]
