Busy momma. Simple life.

Busy momma, noisy world.
trying to live a Simple life...
just the way I like it!

A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for everyone. For me, it means eliminating the chaos, not taking on too much, learning to say no, not wanting the best or having the most and spending my time doing what’s important to me.

Trying to juggle work, kids, spirituality and just life can get really overwhelming sometimes!! But trying to find the right BALANCE in my life is something I have had to learn and it is what keeps me sane and makes me happy.  Choosing how I spend my time and who I spend my time with and making sure to be a  mommy, but still have time to take care of myself and not "lose" myself and who I am in this busy, noisy world.



Recently I had the fun experience of being part a charity event where 
I got to get dressed up and be in a calendar for BMW vintage motorcycles.  So much fun!
All the proceeds from the calendar go to the For My Mama Foundation. Cassidy
thinks her momma is pretty cool beans!



Meet my new friend Tara...
This precious little 4 yr old had me at hello!! I fell in love! 
Tara is part of the kids Hope Foundation.  Her sweet little 
spirit and cheerful attitude really helped me realize what is most
important in life....and the things most important to me are not things.

Here we go again!  Another year of my favorite sport, and another year I 
agreed to be team mom. We keep very busy with baseball!

J Diggity Dog!!
He's such a great little pitcher I'm so proud of him!

My friend JC brought over all of his creepy crawlies for 
the kids to play with.  They were in heaven!

I'm definitely keeping busy with working as the rep for Glymed and now taking over the AZ 
territory.  I spend a lot of time teaching classes and working with wonderful people!
It's such a fun job!

Some might say I am an over-acheiver...they would be correct.
Making caramel apples for the baseball team and their mothers for Mother's Day.
