Over the past few months I have done some dabbling in the Essential Oil field. A great friend of mine that I met in our church small group encouraged me to educate myself on the benefits and remedies of using Essential Oils. She made my family a few roll on oil blends for helping sootheContinue reading “The Essentials”

Jillian Michaels Kicked My Butt
Over the past two weeks I’ve been focusing on my fitness routine. Weather has not permitted me to exercise outside yet, so as I eagerly anticipate the arrival of spring I’ve created a plan for working out different parts of my body. Every other day I’ve completed an elliptical regimen. I’ve sifted through Pinterest andContinue reading “Jillian Michaels Kicked My Butt”
Ready for Routine
Dear blogging world, I’m sorry for falling behind in my posts over the past several days. The PARCC tests have taken over my life. My students have been taking the PARCC over the past week and it has been a scheduling nightmare. I’ve spent most of the school day in the computer lab proctoring testsContinue reading “Ready for Routine”
Friendship: It’s a God-thing
In a previous post “It Takes a Village” I eluded to the fact that in a future post I was going to write about my friend from our church group who has recently become a babysitter for our daughter. This is that post. I’ve been thinking for a while about how to go about discussingContinue reading “Friendship: It’s a God-thing”
The Date Jar: Week 2 (The Family Bucket List)
This weekend has been a busy one in the Sisley home. Sam’s basketball coaching season is winding down, but the time commitment level as the season nears the close seems to increase dramatically.

It Takes a Village
Over the past two and half years I have learned a lot about what it means to be a mother and a wife. The most important lesson that I’ve learned about myself from this time is the importance of community in my life. Although the beginning stages of your child’s life are so rewarding andContinue reading “It Takes a Village”

I’ve always been a journal keeper and a secret writer, but I took the leap of faith (and advice from my husband) and began to publish my writing on this blog. I have been completelyContinue reading “My First Award: Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award”
Staying On Top of It All
Once again this teacher is cut off from society and stranded at home yet again. Our district was set to begin state tests this week, but due to weather and now a gas leak in our high school it is Wednesday and we have not yet commenced the testing. I am making the most outContinue reading “Staying On Top of It All”
Working On My Fitness
I am singing the winter blues. I’m so over the snow, frigid temperatures and the short days. Bring on the sun, warm temperatures, and long evenings. It is so much more motivating to get out and work out with a blast of Vitamin D from the good ole sun. At the beginning of the newContinue reading “Working On My Fitness”
Monday Menu (Slow Cooked Curried Chicken Stew)
There are few things I enjoy devouring more than a warm stew or soup on a cold frigid day. As you can gather from my recent postings I have spent quite a few consecutive days sequestered in my home. The snow and low temperatures have been relentless here in the mid-west not to mention theContinue reading “Monday Menu (Slow Cooked Curried Chicken Stew)”
