I Found A Treasure!



I love, love, love books. I love reading for so many reasons. Sometimes, I love to travel to another time or place, to learn, to grow, to put myself in someone else's shoes. Sometimes, it's just a good laugh or a great mystery that I get to enjoy. There are so many gifts within those pages. Books will be on every gratitude list I make! My friends and family have probably noticed that I'm always asking what they are reading because it is like searching for a treasure. You know there is more gold out there so you keep an eye out. If you have favorite books that are treasures to you, please tell me about them in the comments. Share the Joy!

I joined the 'goodreads' app's 2018 challenge and challenged myself to read 50 books. That's one of my goals for the year. I want to blog about goals later too.  It'll be nice to write about what some of these authors and youtubers recommend for how to set goals and how to follow through with them.

This season in my life has me looking for books that inspire, motivate and encourage me to live this one life I've got to live, well. A Youtuber named Zoey Arielle that I follow recommended Robin Sharma's "The Secret Letters of the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari". It's not a hard read. I read it in a day. That was also because I couldn't put it down and I happened to be on holidays but still - it's just a lovely and inspirational story. I don't really want to say anything about it so you can discover it for yourself but I will say that it is fiction and there is travel and wisdom and maybe a couple tears (but not too many). Apparently Robin Sharma is super well known and exorbitantly successful. Ha! Maybe not in mommies raising multiples circles. I'm really behind in finding him but I love the messages he writes about and am now reading more of his motivational stuff.

I'm kind of laughing to myself and maybe learning a little something about myself as I write this because it's hard to write that I'm reading motivational stuff. I have this idea in my head that everyone will roll their eyes at me. Isn't it interesting how we let others decide so much about our lives? Be me! right? Is that okay with you ! HA!

Well, that was a long way to say - I found a great book that I loved and I think you'd like to read it to.  That's my recommendation of the day. There will be more, as I unearth more treasures. Don't forget to share yours with me.

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...
