Did you know that today is International Women's Day? I'm not sure when this became a thing but I'm game for celebrating some awesome women in this world. Today I wanted to give a shout out to Mitzi Dulan. I know Mitzi because my high school volleyball team competes against her daughters each year (her … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #347: Support Local, Support Awesome!

After a long and fun weekend of sporting events and family time I am wiped. I had really great plans to sit at my computer tonight and write an amazing post about a friends awesomeness...but alas, our kids needed me and now it's too late. Fiona really wanted to snuggle tonight. How can I say … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #347: Snuggles and Stories: Sunday, March 7, 2021:

I’ve been blessed to watch quite a few games this weekend and it’s safe to say I’m not a fan of being a spectator...also I’m exhausted. I’m much more useful on the sideline. But, I love to watch my husband do his thing coaching our boys and their teammates. He’s pretty fantastic. Cooper and Finley … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #346: Court side: Saturday, March 7, 2021:

I love proactive coaching info! Check it out because it’s amazing. I saw this today on social media and I could not love it more. While the picture associated with the quote references sports I do believe that this is how we should approach all things in life. I was brought up to believe that … Continue reading Corona virus Quarantine day #345: What You Have…Give: Friday, March 5, 2021

I want to share something I did two weeks ago and catalogue how it's made me feel. Two weeks ago I gave up sugar. Entirely. Cold Turkey. In full disclosure, I eat very healthy normally. I love salad, it's my favorite food. I love vegetables. BUT...I also love me some homemade baked goods. I would … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #344: Sugar Free: Thursday, March 4, 2021:

This weather. Thanks be to GOD. I am like a different human being when the sun is shining and we can all be outside. It was glorious to watch our kids run outside and play at a park like the corona virus isn't still a thing. I got to visit the kids school again today … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #343: Mask free and Sunshine: Wednesday, March 2, 2021:

So...I wanted to give it a few days to see how it went...but this Saturday, I got my first Corona virus vaccination. To say that it felt a bit surreal would be an understatement. I spoke with my doctor about it and she encouraged me that it was safe, would be effective and that I … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #341: A few updates: Monday, March 1, 2021:

I was interviewing my mom yesterday and I decided to focus on things she would want our kids to know, her grandkids. One of the questions I asked her was about confidence. As a mom of five kids and a coach and teacher of many, many, kids...confidence is something I strive to teach all of … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #342: confidence: Tuesday, March 2, 2021:

As a parent I now know what a challenge this "job" is...for many reasons. We worry about their development when they are babies, we stress about their growth when they are little and we agonize over their decisions and who they will become when they are teens. Having partners in parenting is critical to our … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #340: Full Circle: Sunday, February 28, 2021:

Thank the good LORD, it’s warming up. Praise GOD. I cannot tell you how good the sun is for the soul or at least mine. We spent a lot of time in a gym but the time we weren’t in a gym we were outside and it was glorious. We played hockey, cleaned the barn, … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #339: It’s a Sunshine Day: Saturday, February 27, 2021:
