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 […]
I woke up early today and had trouble falling back asleep. I don’t know why, but I had this sort of dread filled feeling about the day and the coming week. Honestly there isn’t much to be dreading right now (aside from the whole damn pandemic thing and all that of course). My boss is […]

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 […]

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 […]
Surprise! Long time, no blog. I am not sure what happened but in January I seriously lost my motivation to write and as a result, the blog was shelved again. And the next thing I knew, eight months went by. 2021 has been an interesting year so far. It hasn’t been bad, but a lot […]

Fancy a cup of coffee? Grab one and let’s chat. So…how are you? What’s new? Besides the pandemic, civil unrest and attempted overturn of the Government that is? But for real….what a crazy time in our history. I, like so many others, keep thinking, how could things possibly get worse? And then something else happens. […]

I missed the Currently post last month while I was taking another blogging break. I love Anne’s monthly link up, so I’m happy to be back at it today. Here are some current happenings in my world based on the prompts for this month. Currently I am… Beginning…another reading challenge for the year on Goodreads. […]
