You might know that I am also known as Dottie and DiDi’s Mommy, who are my two adorable miniature schnauzers who sometimes get dragged into my shenanigans. They are my babies. Over the years I’ve been told that I should have had children for a variety of reasons, and while I know that they haveContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day…if it applies”

If There’s a Sign
There are some things that you might not think you need to state, like, “Caution, fire is hot!” or “Slippery when wet,” but there’s a reason those things are in place: because someone will try. It’s necessary language for those that aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, as well as for those who are. Continue reading “If There’s a Sign”
Mission: Organization
A few weeks ago, a work colleague told me about “Get Organized with The Home Edit,” a Netflix show with the ladies who are organizational gurus. I guess I’ve been under a rock, but I apparently missed following them on social media. If you’ve been thinking about getting organized or decluttering, they are worth aContinue reading “Mission: Organization”
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day! Repost: The first year we were married, Greg arranged to have flowers delivered but they didn’t arrive until the next day. It was such a let down and I was so upset that I wrote the florist and told them that they ruined our first Valentine’s Day. Maybe that was a bitContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day”
The Gift of Sharing
A few months ago, I was in the midst of planning an event that turned out even better than I imagined, but it took a mental toll on me. You know who placed the most pressure on me? Me. “What if something goes wrong? It would be the worst thing ever,” so I thought. “WhatContinue reading “The Gift of Sharing”
Here’s to More “Happy” Days
I can count on one hand the times that I have hosted my family on a holiday. Mainly because I don’t enjoy cooking holiday food (or much more than breakfast food if I’m totally honest). It’s also because once when I hosted, I felt tension in my home amongst a few of my guests, andContinue reading “Here’s to More “Happy” Days”
Random Thanksgiving Thoughts
I originally wrote this a year ago, but the sentiments remain the same. If you’re not out shopping, enjoy. Random Thanksgiving Thoughts. They aren’t as lighthearted as my previous entries, and that’s okay. Plus, you’re most likely not doing much today, hopefully, so you might as well read my musings. Or don’t. I’m thankful forContinue reading “Random Thanksgiving Thoughts”
Sick Days Don’t Always Mean Sniffles
A couple of months ago I did a thing. I used an old fashioned sick day. I didn’t have a fever, a runny nose, or anything physical. I was just tired. We need to legitimize taking a sick day if we just aren’t feeling it. I don’t make a habit of using sick days. IContinue reading “Sick Days Don’t Always Mean Sniffles”
It’s Our Anniversary
Soon, G and I will celebrate our 22nd anniversary. If anyone who has been married longer than a second says that they’ve never had an argument, they’re lying. You’re not always going to agree with the other person. There’s going to be something that just sticks in your craw, and how you handle it isContinue reading “It’s Our Anniversary”
Gotta Keep on Pushin’
My Facebook friends know that I am an avid CrossFitter because I always check in from my box, Omnis CrossFit West (mostly because they donate $.50 for each social media check-in to a different nonprofit each month). That being said, they know that I’m usually getting my workout on before I go to work. LatelyContinue reading “Gotta Keep on Pushin’”
