Celebrating Your Season

Family Balance Sheet

Have you heard people talk about their 'season' of life? "It's the season I'm in right now" can be over-heard from a new mom, to a seasoned mom of teenagers, to an empty-nester. Everyone has a season. It wasn't until I had kids that I heard people talk about their 'season of life'. Although, maybe I was just oblivious to such conversations prior to when mommy brain took over.

I Achieved at Least One 2012 Goal

Family Balance Sheet

Back in January of this year, I made a bold list of personal goals. Today, I'm happy to report that this past weekend, I achieved one of those goals. In January, I committed to running two half marathons this year. This past weekend, I ran my second one in Hershey, PA. Mission accomplished! Side note.we won't get into the status of the other goals, that is not important at this time.

Pulled Pork BBQ in the Crock Pot

Family Balance Sheet

I've found that most store-bought BBQ sauces include high fructose corn syrup. Since I try to limit our consumption of HFCS, I prefer to make my own BBQ sauce. I found this recipe years ago on the back of a molasses jar, although, I've altered it slightly. This sauce tasty, super easy, and the ingredients are most likely in your kitchen. And since I only buy ketchup that doesn't include HFCS, this sauce in HFCS-free.

Surviving the Holidays

Family Balance Sheet

Holy Moly, Christmas is 2 months from today. Deep breath in, deep breath out. These next two months can be a very stressful time of year for people. The pressure to not eat too much, not spend too much, buy the right gift, spend time with extended family, and hope that our jeans still fit on January 2 can send some people over the edge. Me included.

Does Your Life Seem Really Crazy Too?

Family Balance Sheet

Ever since school started, life at our home has been at a frenetic pace. Homework, soccer, field trips, work projects, meetings, birthday parties, blah, blah, blah. I start my day at 5:45am with a run, speed through the day with work, chauffering kids, and housework, and then collapse into bed at 10pm exhausted from my day. My pillow has never felt so good.
