Family, Health, and Happiness: My Priorities are Why I blog

A Better Life Lived Posted on June 1 by About KiraFebruary 13
Are you living by your priorities or making time for them when you can? Learn to live your priorities for your best life!

If this is your first stop at the blog, welcome. If you’ve been here before but are curious why I started this blog and what drives me, then you’re in the right place. This blog is all about living our best lives by becoming more in tune with our priorities. We all have priorities. For some it’s fame and fortune. For others it’s creativity and freedom of expression. Mine come down to three basic things. Family, health, and happiness. My goal in life is to live in alignment with those priorities, rather than squeezing them in “when I have time” around everything else. I’ve lived that way in the past, and it’s not fun. I’ve made changes to live my … More…

Grateful Living- April 2017

A Better Life Lived Posted on May 1 by About KiraApril 30
Take a moment to be grateful and appreciate the little things in life. Realize that those little things are the big things.

Welcome, May! April was a busy month with work, Easter, and trying to get out and enjoy the nice weather in between all of the rain. As usual, we celebrated Good Friday and Easter with lots of family time and traditions. No Easter Egg hunt this year, but definitely next year. I think this year it would’ve been more for me. He doesn’t need that much candy (he got plenty from the Easter Bunny, Nana, Grandma, and GG). I’m also not certain he really gets the whole searching for eggs thing yet. This month was super rainy but had some beautiful days mixed in between. The project in the basement is now done and we have a beautiful new living … More…

Grateful Living- March 2017

A Better Life Lived Posted on April 9 by About KiraApril 9
Take a moment to be grateful and appreciate the little things in life. Realize that those little things are the big things.

Hello! March was a pretty great month for me and I hope it was for you as well. I have lots to be grateful for with Spring on the way, lovely weather, lots of family time, and Zachary’s development flourishing. For the longest time, he didn’t seem to care about speaking. Now, he’s saying tons of new words every day. I think he finally figured out that learning to speak does have benefits and might be worth the effort. I don’t know about you, but this month flew by. It’s April already! Doesn’t it feel like the year just started?? We’ve just begun the planning for Zachary’s birthday party, which I’ll be sure to post about in a couple of … More…

How To Increase Personal Growth and Enhance Your Life; Accept Advice!

A Better Life Lived Posted on March 20 by About KiraFebruary 13
It's amazing how making this one simple change in how we think can lead to personal growth and enhance our lives!

If there is one thing parents hate, it’s unsolicited advice on how to raise their children. The best way to feed them, how to care for them properly when they’re sick, and the best forms of discipline are all popular topics. It can be so frustrating to feel like everyone is telling us what to do. Not to mention, it makes us feel like other people don’t think we know what we’re doing. It’s insulting and makes us feel belittled. Parents aren’t alone in this battle. Everyone struggles with being offered advice when they didn’t ask for it. Whether it be about a serious topic like marriage or a superficial one like which brand of shampoo is best, unsolicited advice … More…

Grateful Living- February 2017

A Better Life Lived Posted on March 8 by About KiraMarch 7
Take a moment to be grateful and appreciate the little things in life. Realize that those little things are the big things.

February was so busy and just flew by. I started some brand new training with EBA so that I can improve the blog which was so exciting. The hubby was still working some overtime making for some long days. And we FINALLY got together with family a few hours away to celebrate Christmas! Only two months late, but whatever.   Why a monthly grateful living post? So often we get stuck in the day-to-day hustle and forget to acknowledge what’s really important. If someone were to ask “What’s most important to you?” we would be quick to respond with things like family, friends, being a good person, and so on. Unfortunately, we allow ourselves to get sidetracked a lot and … More…

Grateful Living- January 2017

Take a moment to be grateful and appreciate the little things in life. Realize that those little things are the big things.

January was a simple month. With the winding down after the holidays and making arrangements for various things in the coming year, it was overall very calm. Work was a little more stressful and we had some sickness to overcome, but overall it was a pleasant month. Even the weather was rather mild aside from a few days mid-month. For Wisconsin, I can’t really complain! Let’s get into what I’m grateful for this month…   Why a monthly grateful living post?

Grateful Living- December 2016

Grateful Living December 2016 Take a moment to be grateful and appreciate the little things in life. Realize that those little things are the big things.

So often we get stuck in the day-to-day hustle and forget to acknowledge what’s really important. If someone were to ask “What’s most important to you?” we would be quick to respond with things like family, friends, being a good person, and so on. Unfortunately, we allow ourselves to get sidetracked a lot and temporarily “forget” our priorities. Unanswered emails clamor for our attention, deadlines and “to-do” lists clutter up our minds and steal our attention. As a way to temporarily silence these outside distractions, I like to look back over the past month and remind myself what is beautiful in my life. I try to identify three things that have happened in the past few weeks that I am grateful for … More…
