The Transformative Powers of Journaling

March 7, 2016 By Julie 1 Comment

journaling @mommiecooks

Life can be stressful.  Between the kids, wife/husband, job and all the extra “bonuses” thrown your way, we can sometimes forget the beauty of why we are here in the first place.  I know this is true for me. Some days, finding the positive can seem like too tall of an order to fill.

You know where I’m at.  Your kids are fighting over every little thing, you forgot to pick up the list of groceries you needed for dinner, you’re late for, well for just about everything and your mood is so sour you could squeeze it into a glass of water like a lemon wedge and drink it straight down….

The Importance of Snow Days

Remembering to Appreciate the Good Stuff @mommiecooks

Do you ever have one of those moments where you step outside of your every day life to realize that there is a much bigger picture that we’re all a part of?  It might happen when you see a rainbow or maybe as you stare out at the vast enormity of the ocean. For me, it’s a snow day….

Social Media Musings

November 9, 2015 By Julie Leave a Comment

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a productive and fun weekend.  Before diving into today’s musings, I thought I’d point out a small change to the blog.  You may or may not have noticed that the fitness category officially morphed into health.  Why you might ask?  Because, honestly, being healthy isn’t just about exercise.  It’s about the whole person; the mind, body and spirit.  I realized I could just focus on one piece, but then I’d be missing out on some of the most important aspects of what we really need to be healthy.  You can be in perfect physical shape, but if your heart and mind aren’t being cared for in the same manner then, chances are, you’re not truly whole. So on that note, this post focuses not so much on the physical but more on the mind and spirit.

First fitness post in the HOUZZZ!

Ok gang.  Day one and I thought it might be fun to talk about what it means to be “healthy”.  Loaded topic, right?  Let me just preface this by saying that I am in no way a fitness guru nor am I a health expert.  I’m simply a 40 something mom, making my way through the world, trying to do the right thing for my family and myself.
