When you first become a mother or father, everyone to the moon and back has advice to give. Mostly tips about clothing, sleep tips, scheduling me-time, and all sorts of awesome advice. What they do not tell you is how hard it will be to part with items and clothing that your babes have worn … Continue reading Minimizing
It’s Really Been Awhile…
How are you? I've been rather busy with life, specifically giving birth to our second child and trying to get a hang of life. Life really changes after you have children and much of it is for the better, but some parts were really difficult. These parts were uncontrollable which was annoying because the only … Continue reading It’s Really Been Awhile…
Are you still there?
It's been so darn long since I've actually posted anything. At first it was due to lack of motivation and then it was because I got a new job! I began my new job during the last week of February and it's been a whirlwind since then. I've been so busy and also stressed out … Continue reading Are you still there?
All Types of Love
This past Sunday evening, I made a batch of homemade peanut butter and pumpkin biscuits for our dog Willie. I got the recipe off Pinterest and it was pretty simple or so I thought. The recipe was simple but it was too moist so I added flour but then it was a tad dry. My attempt … Continue reading All Types of Love
A Day In the Life of Me

On any given day, … Continue reading Procrastination Nation

So I almost did it! I almost finished a month of blogging everyday via NaBloMo December. I was doing fairly well posting content using the daily allotted prompts but then the holidays began. Now I am not much of a holiday, Christmas person and don't make or wrap my gifts for other folks until the … Continue reading Last Year and Now the New Year
All work and no play?
Everyday I come to work and I think of how lucky I am to be employed at the university that has provided insurance for the past couple of years for my family. It came at a very good time and in particular when my husband was in the midst of being in nursing school. It … Continue reading All work and no play?
Celebrations
I had two very good reasons for not posting last Thursday and Friday. My husband graduated from nursing school on Thursday evening and my sister graduated with her Masters degree in Climate Science and Solutions on Friday afternoon. On Thursday, my husband and I worked out at Crossfit Flagstaff and did half of "Murph" which consisted … Continue reading Celebrations
I am fortunate
I wake up every day knowing that I am very fortunate to have a good job that comes with lots of benefits such as good supervisors and educational perks. I learn amazing stuff that I would not otherwise have the opportunity to. Whenever I read or hear the news and learn of unfortunate events or … Continue reading I am fortunate
