As many of you know I am married to a professional musician. And for those of you that know me even better, you know that my daughter is a budding musician as well. With that being said I am pulling our segment on rest today straight from the staff lines of a musical score. DoContinue reading “Resting by focusing.”

Resting is petting a puppy.
Sometimes rest can be found in the simple things. Sometimes it’s your favorite cup of coffee, a kiss on the forehead from your significant other, or just a moment with your dog. This morning I found myself with my dog. Just sitting on the couch petting him over and over again. He seemed to likeContinue reading “Resting is petting a puppy.”
Hobbies bring rest.
By the title I bet you think I will talk about stamping. For many of you stamping is what brings you rest. And I am sure at some point today I will stamp too. But what other hobbies (or therapies) do you have? I like to work out and also to cook. So today IContinue reading “Hobbies bring rest.”
Resting by catching up.
Today’s the day. Have you heard? All of the birthday parties, graduations, concerts, and more are done. This is the first day I have to get caught up. So be prepared to see the samples for card class, samples for the punch box class, and whatever else is on the list. Now you know whatContinue reading “Resting by catching up.”
Take back your life.
Some days I feel like conquering the world and others I could hide under my blanket. I know you have days like this too. Right? I bet you’re thinking…she’s lost it. Nope, not at all. Instead of encouraging you to go out today to give back I want to tell you to stay in. ReadContinue reading “Take back your life.”

Hopefully your family is allowing some rest on Mother’s Day. Or are you getting twenty questions about where things are in the kitchen. Thankfully my kitchen isn’t that big so there’s not many places to look. And at 10 am my kid isn’t even up yet. Oh, the teenage years. Whatever there is in yourContinue reading “Resting on Mother’s Day.”
Self care is the best.
Every day you run like crazy. You work, you cook, you clean, you run kids to practice…you get the idea. Every once in awhile you need to take care of yourself. No one else will. So put down the planner and trade it for a good book or a trip to the craft room. TodayContinue reading “Self care is the best.”
Resting by trying something new.
I don’t know about you but I often like what is familiar and what is comfortable. I will find myself going to the same restaurant, sitting in the same booth (I prefer over a table), seeing the same waiter/waitress, and ordering the same thing. It’s easy. I don’t have to think. But sometimes your brainContinue reading “Resting by trying something new.”
Feeling ready.
Lately I have been feeling that I am behind. I am not prepared and just not ready. Most of the time this is just a feeling but sometimes I am caught off guard. With not being prepared comes anxiety, more cost, stress, and time to overcome a meltdown. Have you ever felt like this? Just overwhelmed?Continue reading “Feeling ready.”
Resting sometimes means stretching.
I have been going to the gym pretty consistently for the last year. I am not saying this to get accolades, but I have learned something in the process. You must rest. On most rest days between workouts I don’t just sit idle, I stretch. After tearing down my muscles through a workout I stretchContinue reading “Resting sometimes means stretching.”
