One bite at a time… together

by Jeannett

Note from Tsh: I loved Jeannett’s idea a few months ago—to regularly write about her progress on my e-book on her own blog, Life Rearranged. For 2012, I thought it’d be fun for her to share her progress here on Simple Mom! So on the first Friday of every month, Jeannett will share her thoughts [...]

A day in the life

by Tsh

7:00 – My alarm goes off on my iPhone. We had a late night last night. I grab it, hit snooze, and tuck it under my pillow. 7:17 – I get up and grab my phone, journal, and Bible off the nightstand. I head to the bathroom, splash water on myself, brush my hair. I [...]

Two ways to make New Year’s Resolutions actually STICK

by Tsh

I’m wrapping up my week at (in)courage today, talking about two key things that’ll help us reach our goals this year. From the post: “So talking about 2012 goals is all well and good… but just naming them isn’t enough. You’ve got to make a plan so that they’re more than a memory by February. [...]

Goals make us available, not perfect

by Tsh

Today I’m back at (in)courage, and this time, I’m sharing my 2012 goals! You’re welcome to call them new year’s resolutions, if that’s your thing. On Monday I poked fun at my mid-90s self, where I went nuts with eight resolutions in one year, all doomed to failure because they expected so much. This year, [...]
