Progress Diaries

Polly Pocket is quickly gaining in popularity. My girls aren't exempt from the craze, they're obsessed! Thanks to the Netflix Polly Pocket series and Mattel's fantastic YouTube Polly Pocket channel (seriously it's actually fun and bearable to watch) they want to collect them all. One daughter, after talking about a Frozen 2 birthday party for a year, wanted to have a Polly Pocket Birthday Party 🤦‍♀️. Ok! Fine, I'll change tracks and plan a Polly Pocket Party. Nevermind that months ago I bought frozen 2 party favors, cause Dollar Tree had tons of stuff 🤣. Here's the problem though... There's NO Polly Pocket merchandise- anywhere!! The only thing you can find anywhere online are the actual polly pocket toys and ONE Etsy account that will sell you a digital file for a party invitation, cupcake toppers and a “Happy Birthday” sign. That’s it! What did you just say?.. “maybe you didn’t look that hard”. No. Girl let me tell you- Google, Party City, Amazon, Walmar...

As I write this I’m sitting with a 1/2 gallon tub of Blue Bell Ice-cream, Moo-llennium Crunch, yum! It’s so good. I think my love for ice-cream is genetic. I remember as a kid my mom eating lots of ice-cream. The best was when the Schwan’s man came and delivered Chocolate Malt. It was smoothe, creamy and melted so nicely, something I didn’t fully appreciate until now where at the age of 33 I have now tried my fair share of ice-cream and mom was right, Schwan chocolate malt was the best. My mom doesn’t indulge herself in personal pleasures, ice-cream is one of the few, rather she’s always spending her mental and physical energy helping those around her. There is never a shortage of people in need.  Sometimes I hated how much she helped other people, I wanted her attention, but I’m also proud of her service. Everything she has done for others has also given her valuable life experience in which she is now able to offer me profound wisdom because of her diverse expierence helping othe...

I'm reading "Loving What Is" by Byron  Katie she is talking to a lady who feels rejected by her son through the 4 questions.  1. Is it true? Can I absolutely know that it's true? How do I react when I think that thought?  Who would I be without this thought? And then...Turn it around And she says to the women- "Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie."  🤯 Taking your thoughts through the 4 questions gives you clarity to help you see reality. You can go inside and attack what others say or think about you and keep your lack of awareness, or you can go inside and search for a new truth that will set you free. (Pg.42) 

Tonight’s creative writing I’m dedicating to my dad, Drew Lynn Hyer. I don’t think I have written down any stories about my dad and that’s a shame, he’s a great guy. This year he and my mother are missionaries in New Zealand. I’ve slacked in the gift giving department so I hope to make up for that. The thing is that I don’t think they’ll judge me and I know they’ll still love me, even if I don’t do anything but call on the special days. I always mean to do more, I always want to do more but I never make it a priority to make it happen. Well not today! I have laundry to fold and dishes to do and packing to be done before our trip to Denver in a couple of days, but this MUST be done first. So about my dad.... Dad, I hope you enjoy these stories. I’m not sure what I’m going to write about just yet but I’m a little worried that you’ll judge my memories, like “That’s what she remembers?” Or “my favorite memory is... doesn’t she remember that?” Honestly There are a LOT of memories I don’t/ca...

writings Kellys!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! Oh my goodness. Thank you. Sincerly, truely and with all my soul, thank you! This is just so thoughtful and amazing!  Different course ideas- Self- Coaching course that will lead into a membership for deeper tools, support, community and continued learning.  Other courses- Friendship Marriage Parenting Self-confidence Organizing your home and brain I’m so excited to get going on this adventure. To teach others all of these skills that I know will help them. I’ve been thinking though... that maybe just a course isn’t good enough. A course would just wet their appetite and give the basics. To truly do this work you have to put in work and you need to be fostered and facilitated in it. So really what would be most beneficial to the people who I teach would be a membership.  What are my reasons for NOT doing a membership? 1. Fears 2. Limiting beliefs 3. I’m not good enough 4. Someone else is doing it well (jody moore) 5...

I'm listening to "Big Magic" by Elisabeth Gillbert. It's amazing! I totally agree with, well, everything she has said. Her words are good to my soul. I once took a college english class where you had to write without plan or thought. Don't edit just let everthing come out. that's hard to do but i released some amazing emotion and words that would'nt have come otherwise. I think i'lll try to do the same here. I'll let this blog be my unapoligetic writings. I do'nt care how bad it could possibly be because the sole purpose of all of this is for me, to feed my own creative needs. I do'nt even care to put out anything good or worthy of others. Just something. to create just for the sake of creating. Even typoing away feels good on my fingers. like they're finally free to do what they want to- type. When everything is quiet and still at night everyhing fades away. time. responsibility. sleep. expectations. just freeedom. it's beautiful a...

I have so much to say. My fingers can only type so fast and my time is precious. I'm 33 and 1/2, it's cute for kids to say their half ages but at some point it becomes an unacceptable mention but I'm always aware of my half age. It helps me remember how old I really am and if I'm on the younger side of my year or older. I currently have 4 children ranging in ages from 7 years -6 months. I have several jobs... I work part-time answering phones and scheduling for my brother's shredding business, I'm a photographer, a full time cook, dishwasher, launder, housekeeper, nanny, privet transporter, teacher, groomer, entertainer, activities coordinator, personal shopper, political relations negotiator, travel agent, and well there's more but you get the picture. So for me to sit down at a computer for any amount of time is HUGE!! I've already been interrupted twice- and the kids are all in bed. But I want to creative. So I've decided that Tuesday and Thursday...
