In the fast-paced, busy world of being a mom it's easy to lose track of yourself. After 7 months of focusing on the kids and the house and another month of getting used to having Clay back, it was time for me to remember that I need a little "me" time. I was [...]

It's easy to forget to nurture yourself when you're a mom. But it's one of the most important things we need to do. If we are not whole, strong and well-cared for, we can not properly take care of our families. Thank you for listening to the show and for visiting the site. You can email me at [email protected].

We all have our "Boxes". These are the things that make us uncomfortable and make us want to hide from what we must face. Sometimes having a box is a good thing. But, as parents we need to be careful of trying to place our children in our boxes. We should not [...]

We all have our "boxes" that we put ourself into when we are uncomfortable or unsure about something. They provide us with a safe feeling that buffers uncertainty. I've learning to climb out of my box and to make sure that I don't force my children into my box. Thank you for visiting the site and for listening to the show!

As detailed in the blog post below, we are readjusting to having 2 adults in the house again. Clay has done a good job of looking around and seeing what worked well while he was gone and also what could be changed to help the family work more efficiently. Click HERE to leave [...]

This week marked the end of Clay's deployment! He and all those who were with him returned safely. The kids got to watch the helicopters come into the squadron and run out onto the flight line to greet him. Now our family is in a period of readjustment as the kids get [...]

The deployment is over! Clay and all who were with him returned safely this week! Thank you for listening to the show and for your kinds words and thoughts during the deployment!

Saying "I'm sorry" can be a powerful tool. There are those days when parenting can get the best of us and we raise our voice or put the kids off or become unfocused. Going back to the kids and simply saying, "I'm sorry" and "I love you" can make all the difference. [...]

We have successfully marked 6 months of this deployment off of our calendar. We are mere weeks away from homecoming. The time has moved quickly which I think is because of the time of the year we've gone through. Summer took up a lot of the deployment time. Now that we've made [...]

Tomorrow morning we wake up to a new school year! Where did the summer go?! Kateri, JJ and Mariah are all back at school. It's time for routine and predictability, once again. I think I'm ready! We have some changes to where the kids will be going to school this [...]

It's that time again! Time to buy new school clothes and new school supplies and to ease the kids through their anxiety over a new teacher and a new classroom. I'm looking forward to getting back into a more rigorous schedule and to tackling the year. We have some school changes this year, which will make for a whole new experience for all of us.

I was lucky enough to have my friend, Pilar, in town this week. She graciously offered to take my kiddos out for two afternoons! I thought it would be fun to have her share her Mommy of Many adventures with you. She braved a mall and the beach. She did forget [...]

I can't believe how fast the summer has gone and that 5 months of this deployment are under our belts. We've made it through with only a few speed bumps. I want to thank all the people in our life who have made our summer so much fun and who have taken the [...]

The summer has flown by and we've successfully completed 5 months of deployment. We've had a wonderful summer thanks to the many wonderful people in our life who take the time to share fun and community with us. That's a lot when you're talking about a group the size of the Lang Clan! Thanks for visiting the site and for listening to the show!

For the last year I've done a pretty good job of stepping outside my "box" or comfort zone and have tried new things and stretched my limits. I thought I had stretched out enough that my "box" didn't really exist anymore. Boy, was I wrong! This week I found that I am [...]
