Heather

Welcome to AHWH :) I am a mid-forties small business women who is just entering into that second phase of life. The phase where all my kids have almost moved on to their next adventure, and now I am looking at the question "What do I Want to be When They Grow Up?!" AHWH is about sharing that with you. The beginning stages of being an Empty Nester, what I want that to look like and making it up as I go. My hope is that I can share some fun stuff with you, and get to know you through this blog and social media.

Frightfully Funny Halloween Memes for Moms

Happy Halloween!

I thought I’d do a fun round up post today of some funny pins to get us all in a happy mood before the trick or treating gets started tonight.

It’s Hard to Believe We Only Have 100 Days Left

We Only Have 100 Days Left in 2018

As I write this quick blog post, it is September 20.

September 22 marks only 100 days remaining in 2018, AND we are only 10 days away from the beginning of Q4.  The last and busiest quarter of the 2018.

We all know it’s traditionally the start of the busiest shopping season, but that’s not even so much what I’m talking about here.

The Busiest Time of Year for Moms

As moms we are already strapped for time.  Kids are back in school, and many of them are back in after school activities as well.  You still have to keep the house up, work on your home business (if you have one) or go to regular job, find time for relationships and work on your own personal goals.

It’s NOT About How to Get Motivated: You’re Never Going to Feel Like It

I was reminded by a friend the other day about the 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins.  I’d listened to this audio book a couple times.  Once in February, and once in May.

I found it to be super helpful with what I was struggling with at the time.   Mel drove home the point that it’s not about how to get motivated, because I’m probably never going to feel like doing something.  I just need to do it anyway.  Problem was:   I didn’t take a lot of action ( or at least it didn’t last for more than a few days).

I purchased the audible version of it because I often like to listen while I’m doing other things (driving, folding laundry, playing a mindless game before bed). Continue reading
