7 Tips for Finding ‘Me’ Time

September 20, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 10 Comments

Woman Alone by the Lake

This post was first published on November 30, 2009. Plenty of people find it difficult to get some time alone. We’re all busy with work, our home life, family, activities, and just life in general. It can be hard to find some time for yourself. But, more and more, I see that women and moms […]

Balancing Many Roles: Wife, Mother, Daughter

August 30, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 9 Comments

Napping on a Hammock

I had a nice, quiet, lazy weekend. One where I pretty much unplugged the entire two days. I had a lot of hang out time at home with my family and we rested – no going anywhere or errands to run. It was actually really nice. I think my body and mind needed it after […]

June 15, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 13 Comments

30th Birthday

Taking Pride in a Clean Home

May 14, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 12 Comments

Cleaning Supplies

It seems like everyday I hear a woman talking about struggling to balance her life. You know that I am a believer of trying to find balance, at least whatever balance means to you. But, it’s a reality that something always gives. Some days your work may suffer, other days perhaps your me-time suffers, and […]
