Rediscovering passion for yoga and football
Work/life balance is so hard to achieve for working moms (even for us working moms whose job is stay-at-home-mom). We spend all day focused on our job or career, then all evening (and sometimes into the night) focused on caring for kids. It leaves little time for our...
Learning the value of annual goal setting
Annual goal setting was one of those tasks I dreaded every January at work. I found it stressful to have to plan my entire year’s worth of work and know I was going to be judged on how I accomplished those goals by the end of the year. I usually felt like I was...SPE article on Women Engineers in Oil and Gas

End of Summer Break
Happy Labor Day! I’m happy to finally have some time to write for my blog again! This summer has flown by – I feel like I blinked and it’s over. I think it flew by quicker than normal for me because I was so busy all summer. I took several trips traveling for...Summer Break
How’s your summer going? Mine has already been extremely hectic, but also very fun, and it doesn’t show signs of slowing down anytime soon. This is a very busy summer for me both personally and professionally. Personally, we have several family vacations...Welcome
