I’m a Crazy Dog Lady

We welcomed a fifth child into our home this year. She was wanted, by me, but Jeff was more or less pressured into it. The result? Chaos in the home and I’ve turned into Crazy Dog Lady. Yes, Ivy made her way into our home and (most of our) hearts this year, and I might…

Leadership Conference Recap

I recently came back from a Beachbody leadership conference, one of my favorite ways to connect with other coaches in the business. It’s always a great learning experience for me with so many great takeaways. This year it occurred to me that we spend so much time learning at conferences and not enough time actually…

Connect to Your Tribe and Grow

If you’re in a network marketing business, you know the power of connection. You rely on your personal network for those first few sales and then try to continue to connect and grow from there. But business growth can stall out if you feel like you’ve tapped out your warm leads. And social media is…

Staying Connected With Loved Ones

With how busy everyone is today it’s hard to stay connected with loved ones, even those who live in the same town as you. I know talking on the phone and texting from time to time makes it easier, but it’s really not the same. This summer we’re taking a trip to Nebraska City, near…

Prepping Yourself – And Your Life – for Summer Break

Are your kids getting antsy about summer vacation coming up? I’m not talking about going away for vacation–I mean just being off of school and lounging around the house. School days have challenges. All the sports practices, homework and driving kids around here and there. But summertime has its own problems, whether you work from…

Adding a New Family Member

In case you missed it, we added a new little girl to our family in February. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to get her, and I immediately wondered why I said yes. But we are so excited to have our little Ivy in our lives! I’m a first-time dog mom so getting a puppy has…

Growing Grit in Girls & Boys: My Experience

When my boys were younger, I got the stereotypical, “Two boys! What a handful!” And as the girls get older, I get the sympathetic, knowing looks from people who see grey hair in my future from having two teen girls in my house at once. It’s true that I have a bit of a crazy…

Unearth the joy of real connections & relationships

Thanksgiving is upon us this week. It’s a time of family and togetherness, of giving and being thankful for who we have in our lives. One of the things I’m most thankful for is the personal connections and relationships I have in my life. I recently read the book No Limits by John Maxwell. In…

The Start of Football Season

What better way to celebrate football season than a trip north, where the weather really feels like fall. I’ve said it before: One of my favorite perks of my job is being able to work mobilly and to be able to support a lifestyle where my husband and I can travel and do things for…

What Would You Do With 4 Days Alone?

Between soccer tournaments and sleep-away camp, the kids were really busy this summer. And when Jeff left for a four-day work trip, I found myself at home—alone—for four full days. No kids. No husband. And no plans. I honestly don’t remember the last time I’d had time alone at home like that. Before Jack was…
