Happy Holidays, Christmas 2020

 












2020 has been a crazy year. And to make things worse, I feel like it’s just getting started. God is allowing this time for us to get right. We have put him on the back burner and have put our trust in only us. One thing I have taken from this year was learning to walk in faith. Faith is all you have in times of the unknown.

With that said, I’m hoping everyone reading this is in a good place. I hope your holidays have been well, and I pray for understanding and strength in this crazy time. Allow us to walk with our heads held high, and to not be afraid of what tomorrow will bring.


My kids and I have been celebrating Christmas earlier than we have in the past. It’s something about this year that is making us want to bring on the joyful Christmas atmosphere early. So don’t be afraid to bring out that Ugly Christmas sweater as you do your weekly grocery shopping or errand runs. You may be surprised how many smiles you’ll make under those masks!


Happy Holidays,

From the Thomas Family

Ambition and Productivity Killer

  How many of you thought of an incredible idea or had an opportunity at the tip of your fingers, but didn’t proceed because of self doubt or distractions?  My BIGGEST productivity killer is distractions. I’m a ‘dot my I’s and cross my T’s...’ kinda gal, and I can become easily distracted by my drive. If I’m browsing something, I want to know all the details. I like to know how things work, and I’m an extreme problem solver. This can easily distract you in our digital world. These aren’t bad traits. These just can be the result of time wasted scrolling on a newsfeed on social media that can bring absolutely nothing of value to your life.  With my time permanently off of social media, I’ve been connecting deeply with friends that I haven’t talked to in months. I’m more attentive to my kids and focused on being in the moment. I’ve placed my phone down without any anxiety about missing out on information from social media because the people I care most about I’m reaching out...

Mom-son Bond

  Let me first start out saying that I love my kids equally the same. There is no favoritism in the Thomas household. I don’t know what it is, I can’t explain it. The bond between mother and son is unexplainable. Ok, it doesn’t help with him being the baby in the family, but this kid can get away with anything. All he has to do is give me this look and I melt. My daughter on the other hand, she is ME! So I know exactly what’s going through her mind, and that’s why I don’t cave in as easily like I do with Jax. Maybe it’s because everything is a mystery and there is curiosity with him. I’ll never know the mindset of a boy, so everything is new and a discovery. They have a different thought process and they rationalize things differently as well. Whatever it is, I embrace it and I now understand what mom’s say about the bond between mother and son.

The Social Dilemma: Goodbye Social Media- Minus Youtube and Blogging

  The social dilemma: Why I’m staying off of IG permanently The Social Dilemma| Why I’m permanently inactive on Instagram. ~~~>  https://youtu.be/PanK39KBU2k  <~~Video If you have not watched social dilemma, I urge you to stop what you are doing and go watch it now on NETFLIX. You will be blown away with the tactics technical engineers have used to keep us scrolling away. I’m guilty of it. I have or should I said had a ‘Fear of Missing Out.’ I felt my only way to stay connected with people on a large scale was to have social media. But what about the days before social media? People were still connected. I believe more personally then today. We traded hugs and in person contact, with emoji’s and filtered facetime.  What made me quit cold turkey was the part in the movie where the young teenage girl was looking for validation from people through her posts. Are we all guilty of that? Why do I post my dope brightly filtered images? Just because I think there great...
