TOGETHER

I never should have made the switch, just as the saying goes: that being said I am not moving the blog to wordpress. it was just too confusing for this simple gal. so get rid of that bookmark and make sure you follow along here for all the updates and fun! thank you for sticking it out with me. :)

Im taking this blog on the road, not really, but I am typing this while on the turnpike heading to chitown to watch my oldest gal play in the windy city national qualifier. so for this volleyball road show the whole squad is in tow, so im sharing my top 5 volleyball tournament traveling tips. link on up with september farm and the farmers wife but first, leave me a comment, especially if you are one of those volleyabll moms. I am one, we should start a support group, or a hastag, that is for another post though I suppose. either way leave me a comment so I know you stopped by. 1// ez pass - my friend kati says it best 'it is just so easy'. And you know what, she is so right, it is just is so easy. ours is obviously from the great state of OH-IO but it can be used everywhere. if you are not familiar with these, well im not sure where you have been, but I still think your great. basically you load up your ez pass and then cruise right through those toll booths and not have ...

i promise  i swear  i must  i will  post more than just on fridays. look at it this way, i have big goals this week! but now it is friday, so lets go link up!    1//     ummm last week i wasn't here to post because, i was here! and it was warm beautiful relaxing fun traveling...holy, kath and I had an adventure! so it started with our first flight into ATL. the landing was insane...like I was truly scared, scared because I was frantically searching in the seat back pocket in front of me for the sick bag and couldn't find it, I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to hold it in. sure enough after what felt like 30 minutes on the millennium force, I felt those wheels touch down. we then had to walk to 10k steps on the fitbit to the next terminal because I was not getting on anything that moved me. yes, that may just be our luggage sitting out in the rain.  then day 1 while resting peacefully laying on the b...

wow, what i week and i am excited cause i have lots of fun to share with you! but first here is the drill read, enjoy comment so i know you were here, really, comment! click on over to september farm and the farmers wife read, enjoy comment seriously, like make an exciting friday night out of it! i do it a lot and get lost and by the end have no idea what happened, it is 2am, blah blah blah.   1//  i did it!! i said i was going to do something and stuck to it this week, i am so excited to keep on going. so you may remember i had this goal of getting up earlier each day and taking some time to find an affirmation or scripture , just something i could use to help me stay aligned throughout my day. i did just that crazier…it did help! like i found myself often times thinking back to my scripture and focusing on it. i think this is going to be a work in progress, i haven't gotten that bang i am looking for…but i am going to keep working at it because i felt great! ...

still holding strong. shocking, last night was awful. i slept awful, i fell asleep on time with the alarm ready to go at 545am. not everyone in my house is the most supportive, especially lately…so that made going to sleep and sleeping challenging.  as i laid there covering my head with pillows, i remembered why i had started this whole challenge.  you see i wanted to be able to find a scripture each morning, something positive i could read and find a way to relate it into my everyday.  so as i laid there i was gong over exactly that, what i had read over the past few days and it was applying to my exact situation, it was like a light bulb went off! totally freaked me out!!! so then i told myself this and i plan on sticking exactly to this motto, that negativity is kicked out.  up early again and so happy about it. :) 

so today i set my alarm 10 minutes earlier. i did this because i went to bed last night, earlier than i had sunday night, i knew i wanted to bump my time up.  ideally i would like to hit 530am but for now i will be thrilled with 545am. the weird thing that is happening is that i am waking up several times before the alarm even goes off, it is like my body is creating its own snooze button. it is kind of annoying because i am not looking at the clock, just awake for less than a minute then back to sleep.  i am really hoping this ends and i sleep better, tonight i am going to try some lavender oil.  so here i sit, drinking my first 32 ozs of water for the day, with a blanket because i am cold, working on the scripture i am memorizing for the week and even reviewing another one that randomly happened to be in my instagram feed this morning. that one is kind of freaking me out a little bit.  im tired i want to go back to bed i just heard a creepy noise in my g...

i did it, i conquered my new goal day 1.   see i am a snoozer, like will do it for hours but i hate it! so i told myself last week that i would start this week of no snoozing.  i am taking the #getupearlychallenge and have completed day 1. my alarm went off i got right up i got right out of bed i am taking some time for me each morning day 1 is complete. would you like to go on this journey with me?
