We’re kidding ourselves. There will never be a slowdown. Ever. Saying “after this week, things will slow down a bit” is a big, fat lie. And it should absolutely NOT be part of adulting. Adulting is stupid and overrated because of this right here. Hmmph!! Ok, thanks for rant. It’s true, though. Life ain’t aboutContinue reading “Slow. Down.”

The Trouble With “Big”
If you have big plans, big dreams, big aspirations, big goals, big visions, some people won’t understand you or get it at all. One person’s definition of “big” is vastly different than another person’s. When you think all eyes are on you, and other people are expecting those BIG things from you, it feels heavy.Continue reading “The Trouble With “Big””
Happily Ever After?
Once upon a time, there was this girl. She was smart and beautiful and wise and funny and could make biscuits from scratch and had good hair…wait… back on track… Anyway, this girl, she started a blog as a creative outlet, to air her thoughts, and to entertain people. Maybe even help somebody. A handfulContinue reading “Happily Ever After?”
Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, October 20, 2021
Things I learned today… Brady was under the unfortunate impression that she does not sound Southern. Girl. Big, huge props to y’all who get up with your kids at the crack of dawn to get ready for school. And bless the little bones of all the kids getting on the bus at 6:15 am. WhenContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, October 20, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Saturday, October 2, 2021
Things I learned today… It doesn’t matter what team we tune in to root for, the announcers are going to run them down and try to throw a hex up on them with their negativity. When we order Bite Squad, it’s significantly cheaper when the kids aren’t home. I’m walking a thin line between lovingContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, October 2, 2021”
My Email Runneth Over
In my quest to NOT work 24/7 and actually try to have a life, the moment of reckoning comes when I must face the dreaded email box. Oh my, there are so many. I feel stared at, like I’ve kept everyone waiting. My anxiety is over the moon, so I’m doing all that deep breathingContinue reading “My Email Runneth Over”
Back to Reality!
It’s back to reality this morning, and my thoughts are scattered and garbled. I’m thinking of the hurricane ripping across Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. I’m thinking of the people in Afghanistan and our troops. I’m thinking of people who want to argue about vaccines and COVID, not to mention the people who are actuallyContinue reading “Back to Reality!”
Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Surgery Day
The kids were set. My mom came to take care of them for a week. My dance studio was set. We postponed registration of new students for a few weeks. Our service company was set. We had two techs in place to work and hopefully take up Keith’s slack. We checked in Keith’s burley selfContinue reading “Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Surgery Day”
Creating Peace, Love & Joy #1
I’m working this week to CREATE a little more peace, love, and joy by making some adjustments here and there to my daily habits. I’ll share what I’m doing and how it’s going every day this week. Here’s the first one… I turned off my email notifications. It might seem super small, but I getContinue reading “Creating Peace, Love & Joy #1”
Things I Learned Today / Thursday, July 8, 2021
Things I learned today… The roomba decided to do it’s thing down the hallway at almost 5:00 am. I sat straight up baffled by who in the world could be running a leaf blower in our house, heart beating like 40 going west. Good morning! Oh, and I looked this up in case you care…youContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, July 8, 2021”
