Smile: Make Life Beautiful Again

Featured adventuresofabusymomcom6 Comments

What's the first thing you notice about a person when you see them? Is it the color of their eyes? Maybe it's their outfit or the way they style their hair? For me, it's the smile. Sometimes, it's the lack thereof. I think a person's face (particularly their smile) can say so much about the person… Continue reading Smile: Make Life Beautiful Again

Running Made Me a Better Mom

Tonight...I ran! If you know me, I am not a runner...at all! In fact, I despise it! My husband is the runner in the family. Even when he's deployed on his submarine, he's always trying to fit in time for a treadmill run. It's pretty crazy how they cram a treadmill onto a submarine (just… Continue reading Running Made Me a Better Mom

OCD…An Idol?

As I sit down to write today, I must admit, I'm a bit frazzled. We are preparing for a flight back to the mainland and it's left me quite moody (just ask the kids!) It's not that I'm worried about the traveling itself. I'm not even worried about traveling alone with the kids. I'm far… Continue reading OCD…An Idol?

Wellness Wednesday Do you use essential oils? I'll tell you what! My Little Ladybug was complaining about ear pain today and I didn't have anything to help her. I felt awful. Apparently, the other day when we grabbed replacement children's medicines, I grabbed 2 "cold and coughs" instead of a pain reliever. I decided it… Continue reading Magic Oils: My 1st Experience with Essential Oils

Wellness Wednesday Being wonderstruck.... Wonderstruck can be defined as experiencing a sudden feeling of awed delight or wonder. This past Sunday, my pastor John Burgess gave a great sermon about being wonderstruck. It's left me thinking all week about things in life that no-longer leave me feeling "wonderstruck." The things I once found jaw-dropping and yet… Continue reading Finding That Wonderstruck Feeling Through Serving Others

Back in Action: Jumping Back into Fitness in the Wake of Chaos

Wellness Wednesday Sadly, I haven't had much "wellness" being played out in my own life the past few weeks. With Halloween, the funeral, wrapping up basketball season, Thanksgiving and just being a mom, it was a whirlwind of a month! I cringe as I say this, but, we visited the big golden "M" (McDonald's) more times than… Continue reading Back in Action: Jumping Back into Fitness in the Wake of Chaos

Is It Possible to be a “Foodie” and Still be Healthy?

adventuresofabusymomcom8 Comments

Wellness Wednesday Foodie: a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and alcoholic beverages. A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger. Foodie.Yep, that pretty much describes me to a T! My husband once made the life-threatening mistake of saying to my face, "you… Continue reading Is It Possible to be a “Foodie” and Still be Healthy?
