WELCOME!

My name is Diane. I wish I could tell you that I am the perfect mother and wife. But I am not. In fact, I created this blog with the hopes that it would help me to become a better everything. I want to find solutions to everyday issues that most parents and women have. I want to share these solutions with you and hope that you will share your advice with me as well. Thank you and welcome.

About Me

My photo
I am a mother of 4 beautiful girls. Each one special in their own way. I have a wonderful husband who makes me laugh everyday. He reminds me how good it is to be able to love someone so deeply and truly. I am a happy person who wants to be able to manage my family and home life without totally losing my mind over an occasional mishap or disappearance of socks. I live for my family but understand that sometimes I need a little me time. I enjoy crafts, holidays, cooking, and wish I was a better housekeeper. But that's part of why I am doing this. To become better!

Success.

How do you define or measure success? Is it in how much money you make? Is it in the amount of praise or compliments you receive from others on your hard work? Or maybe even being promoted? Do you have to see a-lot of it before you can say you are really successful? I used to feel this way, but my busy life has made me take a step back and re-evaluate what success really means to me. Today success means taking baby steps. Today success means picking up Aleyna at school and hearing that she had a great day! Today success means seeing Alicia's face light up when she talks about how well she did on her reading benchmark! Today success means watching Abigail laugh and dance while she watches her favorite television program. Today success means realizing that I have finally taken and passed my real estate exam! Success is what you make of it! If success for you means that you finally got to clean your house for the first time in two, three, or even four weeks, then good for you! You are a success! We all are when you think about it! Keep being successful! It feels great!
