Jittery for start of school

I just finished labeling my oldest childs bookbag, snack bag, art smock and packing a snack and some extra pencils. I clipped the bus note onto the bag.  Now I am sitting here with mixed feelings.  Mixed because we are starting a new chapter- school.  Learning, books, friends, being more independant.  But sad because my [...]

Facebook Stalk n Sulk

So I go into the shower like most people to relax, have some free moments to myself, to think, just drift away and pretend I’m in some fabulous spa.  But of course my brain just never stops thinking and dwelling.  Tonight I was stuck on facebook jealousy.  Is that a term yet?  It should be.  [...]

Being Contentment with being a mom as a “career”

So at first when I stayed home all was good.  I was all into it.  I was thinking oh I am going to be so into this, grow a garden, make baby food, sew things, go outside to play, have playdates and just enjoy myself and my son.  Fast forward a few years and another [...]

Greener Grass

The grass is never greener on the other side, not even in Bermuda.  Life is life and it’s all on what you do and how you handle what you are given.  Everyone that seems to have a perfect life doesn’t, once you peel away the layers.  I’m starting to realize that there are some people [...]

Mom gets bored sometimes

I love being a mom.  I actually just think about how great my kids are each night before I go to bed and just smile with happiness.  I love how each day we spend together I learn more from them and I can show them more of the world.  My toddler said No this morning [...]

My Life

This is a hard topic for this months contentment focus. No one wants to examine their own lives, it’s much easier to tell other people what they are doing wrong and how they should live!  It’s easier to write about debt, than to look at your life. As far as lives go mine is good- [...]
