I’ve been talking about our big move for close to a year and a half now, probably to the point where people are like, ok is this really ever going to happen, but let me tell you, it’s happening. We’re entering kind of the final chapter of this story. The construction at my in-law’s place […]
…About low key holidays. If there is one thing Covid has really helped with, it’s that it has led to us scaling back our holiday celebrations a little bit. Yesterday was Easter and it was unbelieveably chill and I’m not even a little bit sad about it. Society, and by that I mean places like […]
Well, it’s been a hot minute again, hasn’t it? I was so motivated to write last Fall and then poof, just as fast as that motivation hit me, it went away again. For several months. I have definitely had thoughts of popping on here with an update from time to time, but it just hasn’t […]
Earlier this year I shared about how we would be buying my in-laws house when they move after their construction project is completed at my sister-in-law’s house. It looked like things would happen super fast at first. Then things slowed down when construction costs soared and builders were unavailable. So, while they would have liked […]
So yesterday was an interesting day. Facebook and Instagram, my two most used social media sites, both crashed and were down for hours. No, I do not sit on those sites all day, I have a job and work to do. Ironically, my work actually uses Facebook for quite a bit though, we use it […]

After 18 months of not being physically present in the school building, Oliver has returned to in person learning for school. And of course our kick off to the school year could not be without incident, lucky Ollie got to miss the first three days of school thanks to a non-Covid cold virus. Seriously, the […]
Yesterday I drafted a rant post about my feelings on everything pandemic and life and I decided to not post it. It was filled with a lot of rage and cuss words and the more I thought about it the more I felt it wasn’t appropriate. I’m sure it was going to ruffle a few […]
The news is so heavy lately. I realize I don’t need to tell you that. Anyone with two eyes can see it. From the pandemic to foreign policies to climate change to wildfires and a little more locally, things like a once in 30 some year drought, everywhere you turn there is bad news followed […]
I thought I’d kick off my return to blogging with a fun post – all about Oliver. I still cannot believe my baby is more than halfway to eight years old and starting 2nd grade in a few short weeks, but I just love the journey and my heart just bursts with love as much […]
