European Salad - I absolutely had no idea what to call this salad. It’s one I often make for lunch, and I created it because it has all my favorite flavors from my trips to Europe! Every time I have this “European Salad”, it takes me back to the beaches of Nice, France,… Read More »

Summer is always hard for me. During the school year I can pack my days with work and meetings (and time with friends) while they’re gone at school anyway, and then be present when my kids are home. In the summer I have to leave the younger Cowkids to work, and the mom guilt is real! I feel it almost daily especially these last few weeks because I had multiple days in a row when I was gone all day into the evening. It’s one thing to feel it on an occasional weekend missing a sports activity for an event, or a few days a month for board meetings…it’s a whole different beast to be trying to navigate work and fun mom time daily! I’ve done it all…Years spent as a working mom with the Cowkids in daycare, 11 years as a SAHM, working from home for others, and now running my own business and working part time! There is no win. No matter what, something has to give. So today I’m home getting caught up on cleaning and making some plans for time together baking this week with Little Miss H. I’m not sure the point of this post other than to remind you that there will always be times when you feel the burden of your choices. Don’t get bogged down in a small moments but look at the big picture of the life you’re creating, do what you can to find what works for your family, don’t be afraid to make changes…What worked last year may not be what’s right for you now. #gritandgrace
After working so much the last two weeks I took some time today to be fun mom! Kicking it off with painting at @potterybyyoucasper a walk with my dad and then a movie with the whole family!
One of my favorite events I’ve ever had the honor of speaking at was the Ten Sleep Branch Library Annual Tea. It was a joy to share my story with so many wonderful women in such a beautiful setting. I’ll always be grateful to @reddirtinmysoul for making that opportunity possible.
Libraries play a vital role in our small rural communities, serving as places to learn, connect, and gather. I’m thankful for all they do!

When our daughter and her current boyfriend were stalked for a year, I had to be quiet about what was happening. Not only for safety reasons, but for the integrity of the case. Even after we learned their stalker was a 41 year old woman named Marcie Smith that lived in our town…we still stayed quiet publicly until after our court date. But, that entire time I promised myself that I would find a way to make good come from our situation. I refused to feel shame about what was done to us, and wanted to offer support to other victims. What an absolute honor it was today to be the keynote speaker for @caspercollege Rocky Mountain Cybersecurity Symposium. I’m thankful to how receptive everyone was to my message about using our experience to learn how we can help protect children, and become advocates for change!
