Powerlifting Meet circa 2014 I might be afraid of sleep. Or afraid of losing control of my time I’m awake, or maybe I’m just a whacko and let my mind spin in circles. I didn’t sleep much last night and I committed to being at the gym by 6. So, of course my restless legs […]

No Comments »Monday Mom: Self Worth
February 9th, 2015 Martha The messages are quick and harsh these days. No one beats around the bush anymore. Ad companies tell you it’s bad to look the way you do-whatever that is or use the wrong phone or have anything but the absolute latest gadgets and fashions. And you must have a thigh gap, or not. Eat gluten […]

February 4th, 2015 Martha Dear Moxiemama, I’m struggling with making dinner each night. I hate it. But, my kids keep wanting to eat and apparently that’s my job…to feed them and make sure they stay alive. I need dinner ideas! Please help!

February 2nd, 2015 Martha Growing up in a home where the parents go to church and practice faith does not guarantee a child who follows Christ or have any other spiritual guarantees. As a new mom , a mere 18+ years ago, I had two things I knew for sure I wanted for my kids. The first was for […]
I don’t like roller coasters.
January 23rd, 2015 Martha I’m posting this in frustration and utter exhaustion. I don’t really like roller coasters. I used to, but then I got old and had vertigo and now I’m just a spinny mess if I try to ride one. The kids have had finals this week and it’s a first for us. Since the two older […]
Fearing Pirates, Trusting God
January 24th, 2014 Martha I’m a mom of 3 teenagers…17 year old son. 16 year old daughter and 13 year old son. I’ve posted a lot about them through the years- about 9 years blogging I think. A lot has happened over that time. We have moved about 3 times, the oldest had several surgeries and almost died once […]
Family Night: Art Project
March 21st, 2013 Martha It’s been a while since I’ve posted about family night. Honestly we got a little lax in our creativity. Also, stuff’s expensive so we had to set a budget for the night limiting us a bit. This week, I got the idea to do a craft when Emma asked to go to Michaels. Jackpot! So […]
Dear Moxie…from a compulsive friend hider
January 8th, 2013 Martha A letter from a reader: Dear TM, How do you use Facebook? I sometimes feel like if I see one more meal, one more workout, see one more “cutest picture ever” of a kid, pet or otherwise living thing or one more whiny post about how bad your cramps are, mother in law is or […]
Monday MOM Musings
October 8th, 2012 Martha This week (Thursday) my eldest child turns 16. SIXTEEN, people! I have mixed emotions about this and by mixed I mean 3% excited for him and 97% FREAKING out. I sense this year brings many changes for him. He’s on the verge of driving…in a car…by himself- without me to put my arm across him […]
Tuesday Tip
August 14th, 2012 Martha Make house work go by a little easier with…AUDIOBOOKS! I really don’t like dishes, and laundry and scrubbing toilets. Does anyone? Over the years it has been a great help to listen to a good book whilst tackling these chores. Audible is a great paid source, but I know there are free ones out there, […]
