Too noisy inside your own head? Try floating.
When was the last time you switched off for at least an hour? I mean completely. No phone. No traffic. No kids. No noise, flashing lights or other distractions. Besides sleeping, it probably doesn’t happen often. And when it does, your brain is no doubt racing through everything that needs to get done by the…

Self-care, Nadia Style
There’s no official self care strategy, or right or wrong way of doing it. It’s about finding what works for you and making the time to do what you enjoy most.

10 Great Things About Nadia!
Catchy title, eh? Thanks for reading anyway. Truth is, this post is more for me than for you. Over the last few days (weeks? maybe longer?) I have felt – and mostly ignored – the mounting and overwhelming feelings of insecurity, uncertainty and general self-dislike. This happens from time to time, and usually ends the…

Season with Salt
Use peace, grace and kindness as the overriding principles when dealing with local business owners and never, EVER publicize emails or other written communication. “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” How I interpret this is to always let your words be…

Insane Insomnia
I love sleep. I love that feeling that I get just before I fall asleep, and the feeling of waking up after a good sleep or a nap. I have always prided myself on the ability to fall asleep quickly, and anywhere. Moving vehicle? I’m out. Couch? No problem. In fact, I can fall asleep…

Love is kind
It’s been a crazy month and a half. I couldn’t believe it when I logged in to find out my last post was in January. I would like to humbly admit that my first attempt at my second attempt of the love dare didn’t go well. To be brutally honest, Brent and I have had…

The Love Dare, Round 2
Last year I very quietly read, and (tried to) implement(ed) the Love Dare and the Respect Dare. At the same time. They aren’t written by the same authors, but their 40-dare systems allow for integration, somewhat. So it worked…ish. I think most people that read these books operate like this is a “one time thing”…

2014! The year of less….and more 🙂
Those who know me will not be surprised to hear that I have a list as long of my arm of New Year’s “resolutions”. Sometimes I wonder why each year I continue to go through this exercise in biting off more than I, or anyone else, can chew. On one hand, I like to have…

Handy-dandy Travelling Kitchen Kit
Travelling as a family of 7 is never easy, but Brent and I agree that it is a good idea to expose the kids to travel as much as possible. There is nothing better than the ear-to-ear grins and the contagious excitement that literally flows out of them as they come spinning down the waterslides…

All Things Book
I have no idea what this blog is really about. The other day someone said “oh! I read your blog. So, what is your blog theme anyway?” I returned a blank stare. I guess this blog is about….me….and all parts of me? I have no idea. I have often thought about sticking with one theme…
