Back to School, 2009




Back to School, 2009

Monday, August 31st, the kids go back to school. It is the first day that all of my children will be in school all day! There are now only Sanchez's in the elementary school, the Cagliero kids are all in middle and high school now. Wow, that revelation hit me hard!

It is now, Tuesday, our second morning back to school. I have dealt with piles of back to school papers and forms, we are getting lunches made the night before and considering that there are 5 kids to get ready every morning, it is going remarkable well, very smooth and easy. Of course, they are good kids and most things tend to go easily and smoothly with them.

So, what did I do yesterday? Well, I finished my "to-do" list for the first time in months :-) I got an incredible amount done, never turned on the TV and didn't even listen to music...much...I enjoyed the silence.

I am very busy with my Arbonne business and that has been my main focus, especially since I had a booth at the job fair last week and I am following up with so many people from that.

I feel fall in the air this morning and I heard their is a cooling trend coming on Friday. I feel like cuddling up with a blanket already ;-) I am hosting Bunco this month and thinking about a fall theme. I have my own tradition of marking off the first day of fall as a day that I only focus on the home and getting fall decorations set up! Life is good....

I hope you are enjoying "back to school" time :-) I am looking forward to a bit more freedom of schedule now to get together with my girlfriends and catch up on life and the chaotic summer that we all just enjoyed.

Cancun Trip with Arbonne, 2009

Cancun Trip, October, 2009 With Arbonne International Earned this awesome trip! Pyramids at Chichen Itza Gorgeous day with awesome friends! I have never felt humidity like this, though!!! It was crazy! To walk outside and be as wet as if I just got out of the shower! Why blow dry my hair? I did give up by the last day! The last day of the trip, I totally enjoyed the hammock and being utterly indulgent. Why does it take 4 days before you really start to relax??? That is just NOT right! :-) I am so grateful to work with such an awesome company as Arbonne! I love the concept of having healthy products, an environmentally friendly company and the most amazing women you can imagine. One thing that has hit me really hard this past 2 months of personal growth and coaching etc is that the greatest blessings my Arbonne business has brought me are 1. the friendships with incredible women and 2. Learning my own value and self worth. Why have I always doubted me? I am learning that I have a lot of...

The kids and I have been home for a week now. I have been working on the house, enjoying the beginning of summer, lots of rain, gentle breezes, the wind chimes, lots of peace and quiet, for the most part ;-) I am actively working my Arbonne business and just enjoying life in general. I have been cooking quite a bit this week and just enjoying all the domestic pleasures of being able to work from home. I love sitting on the patio in the sun while having lunch and I am even enjoying all the weeding because I like to see the finished product :-) I am eternally grateful for my fabulous friends who have spent much time hanging out this week. I am so blessed with the relationships in my life. There has been lots of laughter and love in my life and I am enjoying life much, back to my blog title, Loving Life in I...

August 4th, 2009

Hello again! I just wanted to say thank you to all my fabulous friends, business partners and clients who so actively helped me earn my trip to Cancun this year! You are all incredible and awesome! I have been in Arbonne almost 3 years and one thing I will pass on to any of you with goals and dreams, WRITE THEM DOWN! Be intentional! This is the first year I paid the $30 registration fee last December and every month set about doing what I needed to do to stay on track to earn this trip! You can achieve what you set your mind to! Of course, you must follow through with lots of activity and personal growth reading and time. Our minds are incredibly powerful, though, never ever doubt that! Our summer is going well. Goodness, the kids will be back to school at the end of the month. Oh, and Victor and I have our 10th anniversary coming up this month! Wow! 10 years flew by! I hope you are all well. Blessings and love to you :-)
