In Anne of Green Gables, Miss Stacie always had this quote she would say to Anne: Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it. (I have to add one word….”Yet.”) It’s fresh with no mistakes in it….yet. At least, that’s my motto. Lately, I’ve had my days where I feel like the most horrible [...]

“Darn! Another day of no work out!”
This thought crossed my mind as my morning passed into lunch time without one free time slot for a work out. This has been a constant frustration of mine since beginning daycare. Even if I can find time between breakfast time and snack time, between craft time and [...]

Check out these two definitions:
Intentional-done with intention or on purpose; intended.
Mama- (Slang Def): a sexually attractive, usually mature woman; one’s wife.

While those of us that stay at home with our families, experience our own frustrations, from people assuming we do nothing all day long, to lecturing us for wasting our degrees, working moms have their own set of frustrations.

I didn’t know it could be so complicated. This whole blogging thing. I entered the world of blogging five years ago. It was for connection, plain and simple.
