Welcome to the New Year! Hopefully this finds you healthy, happy and excited to tackle the adventures you pursue this year. I absolutely LOVE New Year resolutions. Usually I take 3-5 under my wing and spend the year completing them. I haven’t failed myself in 8 years. I don’t do the typical loose weight-ish resolutions, […]

Being YOU
Instagram is so pretty. I look in awe at everyone’s life and wonder how I can get mine to be just a little more like theirs. Then I remember, like snapchat, there are filters and people use them. It’s hard to get a glimpse of “real-life” when you look at instagram. The filters and the […]
Driftwood Art
You probably don’t know this, but I like to create. Creating anything is wicked cool, but besides writing I like making actual things. Poems, posts, children’s books, painting, charcoal, you name it I like it. After all these years, I think I’ve finally found my jam. The medium that speaks the best through me. Driftwood. […]

Happy Wieners
This post is not about wiener dogs, but it is about wieners. Last week I was changing into my pajamas when my oldest walks into the room and says to me, “Mom, your butt’s too big for those undies”. I didn’t even get mad. That little voice inside of me told me, “someday he’ll […]
What the FUNK?
Does anyone else feel like their life is COMPLETELY disrupted by the solar eclipse? My life, on the outside, hasn’t really seen much change, however, I feel like that eclipse has torn through the life of ones I care about and not in a particularly good way. For instance, my partner in crime at work… […]
I Miss You.
It’s your birthday today. I’d like to take this moment to say… I Miss You. And, if it makes a difference I’m reminded daily at how selfish I was with our “friendship”. You were constantly there for me, available at every single hour, offering more guidance and wisdom than I ever though possible. You carried […]
Grace.
Do you believe that everyone you meet has a lesson for you to learn on your journey? I do too. If you answered no, I’d really like to chat with why you don’t think so, because I think that especially the people we DON’T get along with probably have the most to teach us. But […]
Apple Watch
Call me old school, but I don’t love being attached to my phone. I don’t love that people assume you’ll respond to texts or emails .2 seconds after receiving them. Maybe it’s because I like to think before I respond or maybe I just want to be an introvert and live in a hole. That […]
Aging at it’s finest
For the longest time (I’m talking about YEARS) I only claimed 29 years. I never claimed to be older, but once I turned 29 I just didn’t want to be any older. This is due to a number of reasons including but not limited to: my grandmother claiming only 35 years…I guess I didn’t want […]
