Bathroom Renovation Part 1
It's been a while, I know. And unfortunately, I have no excuses. The past month or so I've fallen into a bit of a funk. The holidays are just HARD. Work is extremely busy, and we've taken on a project at home that is consuming a lot of time. So lately, whenever I've found the… Continue reading Bathroom Renovation Part 1
Attitude of Gratitude
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Look, I'm not going to lie. This year, being thankful feels tough. Many days I wake up feeling like the world is against me, and since nothing has gone my way, that it never will. I felt like it was especially important for me to write this, because it forced me to… Continue reading Attitude of Gratitude

Loving Lately, Vol 10 – Recent Purchases
A Daily Planner If you know me personally, you would know that I'm ridiculously Type-A. I like to schedule EVERYTHING (errands, workouts, blog posts) so a daily planner is a must-have item for me. In years past, I've typically bought my planners from Amazon or Target, and they work just fine, but for 2019 I… Continue reading Loving Lately, Vol 10 – Recent Purchases
Halloween Heaviness
It’s not even 11:00 am, and I find myself needing to swear off social media for the day. During a quick scroll, I counted five pregnancy announcements. FIVE.

I am friends with these people, and I’m… Continue reading Halloween Heaviness

4 Changes I Am Making
Since our second loss, I have felt that it's time to make some changes for the benefit of my health and well-being. Going to Church/Becoming More Spiritual I grew up Catholic, and went to Catholic schools from kindergarten through twelfth grade, so faith was a regular part of my life -- whether I wanted it… Continue reading 4 Changes I Am Making
Halloween 2018
Over the years, I have kind-of hated Halloween. Okay, hate is a strong word. But, I've always been a total chicken when it comes to anything scary, especially Haunted Houses, and I'm not even exaggerating when I say that once I passed out in the ball pit of the U.S.S. Nightmare, and had to be carried out. … Continue reading Halloween 2018
Exercising and Podcasting
Lately I have been craving distraction and routine, and my body is in dire need of exercise. I've been feeling quite unlike myself. We've been eating so much comfort food (read: junk food) because we haven't been much in the mood to cook, and my body pains were preventing me from wanting to do any… Continue reading Exercising and Podcasting
