Janel won't hesitate to share a smile or a wave when she sees you - a tip we could all probably do more of.  She is a hair stylist by day, which I am pretty sure gives her a super power of being able to relate and read people quite well.  Then she turns into a chill mom at night that likes to hang out with her husband, two sons, and two cats.  Her family has some unique characteristics to be appreciated and she shares about them and how she stays upbeat about them on this episode.

Lisa is a great friend and an even better mom.  I knew she would be awesome as one of my first guests on the 'Mom Series' because she is super patient, willing, and encouraging as I attempt to figure it all out.  

LIsa and I had a great time talking; I hope you enjoy it as well.  She shares a lot of laughter and thoughts on being a mom.  Lisa goes into detail on how she keeps up with her active family schedule and also shares about her musical expertise.

I appreciate Lisa greatly and I am sure you will too.

I am super excited to be sharing a new series with you.  The 'Mom Series' is collection of interviews with some pretty awesome moms.  

It can be really beneficial to learn from others that have either gone through what your are going through or are right there in the trenches alongside you.  

Each of us has so much to share and I took on the role of interviewing these amazing ladies so we can all benefit from their brilliance.    Many topics will be covered and I am sure you'll gain insight from them all.  

Each mom interview will be noted in the title and via the image by the podcast episode as well.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, as well as ideas you may be interested in hearing more about.

Enjoy!  Take care.  Stay safe.  Be nice.

First of all, why is 'entrepreneur' SO hard to spell?  Second of all, I am learning; are you?  A few week ago, I headed out to Boise, Idaho for non-traditional training in marketing.  In this episode I discuss passion and overcoming obstacles to head in the direction of your dreams.

Some of us have been lacking a bit in accomplishing what Mom thinks we need to get done for school work and housework.  There has been a major case of the "I don't  wannas."  or the "I'm just not gonnas."

I get it.  The same ol' same ol' gets boring.  We seem to always have a mess to clean up because well, because we keeping making messes.

An idea dawned on me late last night on what might help get my kids motivated  And it worked!!

I love reading!  I like to reading more as an adult than I did as a kid actually.  Part of that is I think I was reading the wrong books.  Fiction isn't my favorite neither is history or science, but I LOVE "how to" sort of books.   Whether is be a way to learn or a new skill or improve on one I already have knowledge of, that's my jam!  

Here are two books I enjoyed recently that I give a brief overview on, so you can see if you might enjoy them too.

 Summer is here!  Today I'll share some safety tips, some tricks, and some ways to have fun this summer.  I'd love to hear what you like to do.

It is easy to get caught up in our day sometimes with our attention being pulled in so many different directions.  We need to remember to give our kids some of that precious attention too.  They deserve.  We need to listen, really listen to them and in turn they will be a stronger and happier.

Here is my recent experience of "camping".  I was truly quite nervous about the whole experience.  Jason was supposed to go with us, and then he couldn't.  I was actually trying to figure out if I should make up an excuse not to go, but I sucked it up, and was sure glad I did.

My thoughts are random, but my message is clear.  You deserve to be happy and maintaining a positive attitude will help your get and stay there.  Be the person others WANT to be around - not the one that drags them down.  Lift others up.  Lift yourself up.  Surround yourself with good.  Look for the good.  Find the good.  Forget the bad and ugly.

Not always the favorite thing for our kids to do....and sometimes they do a great job of avoiding them - BUT here is what they are supposed to be doing.  All my kids, at this point, no matter the age, are responsible for a particular set of jobs each day.  They rotate through those categories of jobs, so they do a different set of jobs in a cycle of every four days.  Cleaner/Kitchen.  Helper/Living Room.  Deputy/Outside.  Organizer/Leader.

Blog post coming soon - so you can see visuals.

We all goals.  Some big, some little.  Some that we could easily conquer if we simply just decided to do it.  I have a list of "mini visions" I want to accomplish.  By mini visions - I mean, they don't take much time or learning.  They don't need a lot of prep work or special skill.  I just wanna do 'em...even if I do them not so perfect.

What are you working on?  Long term or short term?  What could you do or learn quickly that would be fun and exciting to you?  I want to hear it!  I am cheering you on!
