Goals, right? Have you ever understood them? I didn’t.
Perhaps, you recently set a goal. But then months passed and you weren’t any closer to your goal then when you set it.
I sucked at goals.
So, I gave them up. Phooey to goals, I don’t need them.
Do you feel this way?
That’s changed. I now set goals, crush them and set more goals. I’ve written more, exercised consistently, lost weight and been more productive. No, I’m not super human. I just follow the same method each time.
When you have kids and are a professional, you need a winter small wardrobe that does double duty.
I used to get really stressed out at the thought of everything I had to buy to straddle these two lives. I want to look professional in my work, but I also don’t want to look like a bum on the weekends.
What to do?
You make sure you have these in your closet.
You got invited to a holiday party where you don’t know a soul. You:
a) politely decline the invitation
b) accept, but then fake a stomach flu the day of the party, or
c) accept and go.
(Pssst… choose C, choose C)
Many times, you learn more from the struggle than the success.

I’ve been there! Here is the simple method that we started using on our kids.
Six months into our first child’s life, my husband and I couldn’t come up with a single idea for a date night beyond dinner and a movie. We would ask ourselves, “What did we do back when we had free time and full nights of sleep???” Cue input from the Whimsicle Moms and my guru sister-in-law herself: how about a murder mystery dinner! A creative date with no planning on my part? I was sold!
