I knew the time was coming. It started slowly at first, a series of days where he was spunky, and ready for action, followed by a day where I was painfully reminded of his age, and that we didn’t have forever. Then it happened faster, and faster. Muscle atrophy, the slow way in which he […]
I’ve had to adjust my Goodreads 2022 challenge total a few times. I started with my usual 15 books. Something I started back when my son was a baby, and I knew I wouldn’t have much time to sit and read (at least, not do so at the expense of sleep). I figured roughly a […]
My Bookish highlights on my Instagram just aren’t cutting it, and as I’m actually at a place in parenthood where reading is a far more regular thing, it seems that highlight tab is becoming overwhelming. Since I’m too stubborn to fall to the popular demand I start a Bookstagram account, at the end of each […]
In September of 2019, just a few months before “pandemic life” had me working from home every single day, I was already working my way towards becoming fully remote for my job. I had started with just one day, back in February of 2019. Quietly, I stopped going into the office on Fridays for the […]
Growing up where I grew up, there was never a shortage of outdoor activities. Hiking, paddling, exploring of any type was, and still is bountiful. I remember through high school, friends and I were always hitting the trails, hanging by the lakes, or grabbing some kayaks and paddling out to small islands for lunch. As […]

When life spirals out of control… you buy smoothies. Hi, friends, it’s been awhile. It hasn’t been a lack for anything to say, it’s been more of a lack of time. In October, my office moved about 15 miles north, and my in-office schedule changed. My position changed slightly, with my duties being focused more […]
Through Moms Meet, I was given the chance to get some of my parent friends together, and try Sundown’s children’s complete multivitamin gummies. As parents, we always want what’s best for our kids – which means making sure their tiny bodies are getting what they need. When they’re plugging their noses at the green beans […]
Until 3 years ago, this is what my beach life looked like. EMPTY. This isn’t a metaphor for anything. No connection to my infertility journey.This is my anxiety convincing me that I needed to be off the beach any time I went, before everyone else showed up – or else… I was born and raised […]
