And here we are, 2021. Happy New Year everyone! The new year is as good of time as any to have some conversations with yourself. It is a time to reflect on the year that has past, the feelings and thoughts of the present, the goals for the future, and having a plan to make... Continue Reading →
I wasn't sure I would make it to posting tonight. My oldest child has lost 2 teeth this week. He has my sleeping tendencies [taking forever to fall asleep], so I have had to wait up for the tooth fairy to come. Plus, our good elf pal, Bob, tends to cause mischief at night too.... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite things to do during my quiet down time is to watch Christmas videos on YouTube. I like watching the wrap with me videos and the "what I got my kids" videos. I actually had plans to film a wrap with me video this year, but it didn't happen. We were not... Continue Reading →
With this year seeming to be harder to hold on to some traditions, it has been nice having ones that we do from home. I guess that is a lesson to be learned during a pandemic; have traditions that can be done from home. Every year we have somehow managed to spend the month of... Continue Reading →

My insomnia has been back for over a month now, sleeping roughly 3 to 4 hours a night but definitely not consecutively. I think it is because I have been... Continue Reading →
It is already nearing the end of October! Normally the month of October we have a lot of fun activities planned, but of course this year has put a little damper on that! So, I decided, I at least need something to look back on for October of 2020. What better way can I think... Continue Reading →
Some of my best ideas hit in the latest hours of the night. It is currently 1am [Sunday Sept 27] and I just finished getting this idea together. I have not researched to see if this has been done before, but I would bet money that it has. I don’t know how many other people... Continue Reading →
You would think after all this talk about mental illness, we would be getting somewhere positive to make an actual difference in society. I have seen and heard first hand how broken the system is. I understand why people do not "reach out for help" and end up in a terrible place. I would like... Continue Reading →
