Summer use to be the relaxing season out of all 4 of the seasons. As a kid that's because you don't have to go to school during the Summer, or at least most of it. However, as a parent, Summer has become less relaxing than I once remember. Life just seems to speed up in... Continue Reading →
My 2020 Bucket List
With all the uncertainty going on right now, there is a lot of negativity surrounding everything. I for one am refusing to let 2020 be remembered as the year of jumanji and all things horrible.

Life In Limbo
I like my job, mainly for the people and the discount it gives us. However, it isn't something I am excited about doing. It isn't something I want to do for a long time. It works for now because our kids are still young. We do not trust a daycare to watch them while we... Continue Reading →
