Life is too short to not be myself…
Good morning! It's 8:13 a.m. where I am and I already feel productive. I decided I would treat myself for breakfast today and it was yummy! Now, this isn't a cooking blog by any means. I don't make my own recipes (at least not to share) and I don't take the best photos of my... Continue Reading →
So my nest has been more empty than usual. DH has been on the road. It's been so quiet here! In some ways it's been really nice and other ways... well, I prefer to be alone all day and then have him come home to me in the evenings. I finished 2 series on Netflix,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was such a lovely day. Both DH and I had tons of work to do. Usually, we go our separate ways to do our work. He goes upstairs to his work area and I go downstairs but yesterday, we decided to sit together to do our work separately. It made for a lovely day... Continue Reading →

We spent a wonderful 5 days with her, moving her in, unpacking, setting everything up and doing a... Continue Reading →
My people, this is real! We are all packed up and leaving in a few. It is so exciting and sad and joyous and scary and wonderful and sad all at the same time! I don't have time for much of a post, but I will post as we are settled and have the time.... Continue Reading →
As the time is drawing near, my heart feels so heavy and my eyes so full. We pack up the U-Haul tomorrow and head out to her new home on Friday. How can it be time already? This week has just flown by for me. This MONTH was merely a blink of the eye! Like... Continue Reading →
Why is it the little things that can just knock us off our feet? Last night I was emptying the dishwasher and as I was putting away my daughter's and my favorite bowls, I had the thought that I might let her take one and then every now and again we could video chat and... Continue Reading →
Ok, So I don't even think this is fair. First, we have the raging hormones during pregnancy and now as they are getting ready to fly the coop, we have the raging hormones of menopause or perimenopause. What's the deal?? Can't we catch a break here? I guess it's just all part of motherhood and... Continue Reading →
