#NaBloPoMo: I’m No Mrs. Fix It or Mom the Builder

What was the last thing you fixed or built?

Mrs. Fix it to the rescue! I think NOT. These #NaBloPoMo prompts are driving me insane. I thought that having a prompt would be make it easier to blog every day, but honestly it is only making me think. (Queues laugh). I mean seriously, the last thing I fixed or built? I have no idea. Does building a castle or truck out of Mega Bloks count for anything? Sorry I am not a fixer or a builder. I have unclogged the toilet a time or two, but I am definitely not Mom the Builder.

#NaBloPoMo: Finding the Time and Agenda Planning

10November2015Janelle RobinsonParenting, Positive Thinking

What is the hardest part of a project: getting the energy to start on it, finding the time to work on it, or feeling down when it’s over?

I can toss and turn all night if I have something that needs to be completed. I think the hardest part of a project for me is finding time to work on it. In the past couple of years I have been working on adjusting to being a new mom again after eleven years and it has been a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. My entire focus is on my son. I honestly want to spend every waking minute but the realty is that I have to work and I have personal projects I’m working on.

Dear Janelle, A Letter to My Younger Self

4October2015Janelle RobinsonUncategorized

I’ve been married for four months now and during these short four months I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’ve also learned to tame some things about myself. I once was a very soft spoken person. During my twenties I found myself in friendships that were one sided and a relationship that was meaningless. Through those experiences I found my voice. I learned to speak up where it was needed and I not to take crap from anyone.
