Cancer. That word is powerful, emotional, and despised. No matter the reason, cancer is one word you never want to hear. The unfortunate truth is that many people's lives will be dramatically changed this year from this disease. According to cancer.gov, " In 2018, an estimated 1,735,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 609,640 people will die from the disease." This is in the U.S. alone. I'm not trying to share these numbers to depress anyone or to make any matters ... View the Post
Did I hear Him right?
It was a dark and rainy night and I was driving home from a mid-week networking event. I was tired and ready to be home. It felt like the same mundane drive that I have made countless times passing by the same gas stations, Walgreens, countless mini vans, a movie theater, I could keep going, but I think you get the picture. I was making one of my final turns when I drove past an auto body shop with a lit up sign near the street. The sign caught my eye, "If you don't put any work into your dream ... View the Post
Update: Life as a business owner
Sometimes we have an idea in our head and we know exactly how it should go - the timing, the place, the people. When I planned my departure from the University of St. Thomas that's exactly what I thought. Again, I thought I was "in control" of the situation. It almost makes me laugh now. I had an idyllic plan. I was going to have a balanced life as a mom. I was going to work 20-hours remotely every week, keep the boys home with me two days, write more in The Linda Project, oh and have enough ...

Life changes…
Do you have a summer song? Every summer a song seems to capture my heart and it holds the memories of the warm, sunny days, so when I hear it during the winter time or years after I can think back to that particular summer. This summer the best song that encompasses everything that I'm feeling and going through is a song by, Thomas Rhett titled, "Life Changes." It's the perfect depiction of how life phases come and go and what we think is our perfect plan may not actually be. This past year ... View the Post
It’s in His timing…
Sometimes in life I feel like we get in a rush and inpatient when we think something has to be done at a certain time. I know I felt like this before having Owen. I had it stuck in my head that I wanted to have my first child before I was 30. I don't know why exactly, but for some reason I decided to add that extra layer of pressure on. All it did was contribute to my anxiety of getting pregnant. Every month that would go by I would think that I'm just that much closer to 30. Now, it seems ... View the Post
Three essential tips to help your child become an independent sleeper!
I'm so excited to share this week's guest post with all of you! Matt and I hired Leann to help us sleep train both of our boys. She was truly a lifesaver for us last winter as we were all working on transitioning to a family of four. We were all lacking sleep and it was starting to take a toll. Leann was patient with us and always listened to any and all concerns. We have made a lot of progress with both boys. We were struggling with middle of the night wakings, long bedtimes, and early wakings. ... View the Post
