Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my readers that are mothers or are in the process of becoming mothers. May all your wishes, hopes and dreams for your children come true.

I only have a few minutes I have to go help munchkin in the shower and get her to bed, but I wanted to let you all know that I did get my nose pierced yesterday. I love it! It looks awesome. I think I like the most that it gives me an edge. I always look so wholesome, most people don't realize what I really am. I am a nice person, of course, but I'm a yoga practicing, health food eating, semi-practicing Buddhist, recovering Catholic, punk and alternative music lover. Try saying all that real fast. I like that with my stud in my nose, I'm proclaiming that I may dress conservatively at work and may use my manners and act very proper, but I'm really a bit unconventional. I've always known that, DH thankfully knows that and I think Phoebe realizes it.

Well I'll owe some pics tonight. Pics of me and my nose, Phoebe during her show at school and everything in between.

I love that you are a wholesome punk-girl!

Sorry that AF showed up.

I am amazed at your Buddhist declaration. I was just doing research trying to find a temple in my area b/c I want to check it out. :O

Happy Mother's Day (belated) to you also.

The nose ring would be something I could never pull off. Glad you did it since you have really been wanting to.

Also sorry about AF.

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture. I really like her in red or bright colors. She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head. I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true. This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either. Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure. I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week. This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
