Can I be blunt?

I suck at this!  Blogging I mean...mothering, teaching, homemaking, cooking...not so bad, but blogging, well, I suck.  Would you believe it if I told you I have mentally written multiple new posts this month? I actually feel guilty about not writing posts.   As Bailey would say, "epic fail" (gotta love middle schoolers!).  You all can't read my mind can you? Shucks! That would be so much easier.  I guess I have got to find the time to sit and write and update you all, on the very exciting life of the Boyens! 

I have many wonderful pictures and moments to share.  Post titles might be..."Spring break fun!", "Major family accomplishments..." and a post sure to come "Camping..a Boyen Family First." 

Want to know another thing I suck at...bedtime.  Yea, definitely no good at getting my kids in bed on time.  I get distracted by things like...well blogging!  So off I go, must finish putting these darlings of mine to bed!

Until we meet again, and hopefully it won't be long. ;) I have so much to share.

    Hey we are soul sisters sistah. I haven't written a blog entry since uhmmmm November? I too have plenty of ideas and lots say but darn if life just doesn't get in the way. And bedtime? Oy, I'm queen of the sucktude. My boys run me ragged at bedtime, stalling as all good kiddos do but then they just wo.t go to sleep. They climb out of beds, have parties in the room, cry out for me....I'm torn between bein.f the patient vs loving vs nurturing vs crazy mean mommy vs the I give up, guess we'll all be up til the wee hours mommy.
    You do so much! You dont suck at this at all. You inspire me, so you've got that going for you.

Less is more...

less stress less work less talking less people pleasing less saying yes less social media less noise less chaos less guilt And most importantly... less explaining myself And unfortunately, it seems I have made less time for writing and blogging, which makes me feel like I need to explain myself! 😂 This year my word of the year is "l ess" . I've written this blog for 13 years now. Social media was just getting started. I started the blog, not to overly share my life, but as a way to document it like a baby book or photo album would. Now everyone shares their life story (and then some) on social media. I've told myself I would be doing "less" of that this year. I love sharing stories about my kids, my family, and my adventures in life, but I want to do more here, and less on social media.  But as I was focusing on the less in life, I stepped away from here for a bit longer than planned. It is my reflective space, where I can gather my thoughts an

Motherhood...

    Mother's Day, 2023~Reflections from a Mommy blogger And sometimes it seems like the manual is missing important chapters and sections I need! I have learned a lot and done my best over these years to be there for my children in every way possible. My four children are so different and unique that mothering them has never left a dull moment. They have each presented joys and challenges to me. I can with 100% confidence say the greatest accomplishment of my life has been raising four amazing children to teens and young adulthood. They have made me stronger and wiser in so many ways. Lorelei helped me earn a Mommy MD with all of her unique medical issues and showed me what grace and gratitude look likes like in tough situations. Jonas has schooled me in subjects, academics, and philosophy well beyond my interest. Savannah has shown me what true joy and drive can accomplish in life in just a short time. Bailey has shared a love and gift of music with me,  pushing me to improve my o

T'was the night before 50...

  Yikes! I can't believe I turn the big 5-0 tomorrow. I'm going into my 50s brighter, stronger, and feistier than ever. I am ready to take on whatever life throws at me and excited for the upcoming adventures of this year.  2023 is already off to a strong start. There hasn't been too much going on other than school, diving, and a few too many hospital visits this month. We had a workday for our first day back after Winter break. The girls brought me lunch and stole me away from work,  just a wee bit early.  Jandro moved up to Austin with Savannah this month. So far, so good! I love when "Scientist Savannah" sends me pictures from the lab! Her Spring semester is off and running.   Lorelei had two major dive meets this month, including Districts. I love how she gives it her all still, no matter how difficult it may be for her.  Proud parents! After John saw this picture, he promptly trimmed his beard.  Her district teammates are all so supportive of each other, even
