“I can’t believe I’m 34 and trying to find myself” I think for the thousandth time. In this season of life, where I’m trying to treat myself with patience and grace, I remind myself of all the times in the past when I was trying to find out who I am. How many times beforeContinue reading “Doors”

Family Business
I never thought I’d be working with The Hubs. In fact, I openly spoke against it in the early days of our marriage. “No way we could work together.” “I didn’t go to college for four years to just be your helper.” “I don’t think spending that much time together is a good idea.” “IContinue reading “Family Business”
W.W.P&D.D?
Today I had to do something that made me uncomfortable. It logically wasn’t something that should make me uneasy after years of sales experience but it did. I had to ask a brand new customer to pay in advance for the items we needed to fix their scale. We’re buying the items from a vendorContinue reading “W.W.P&D.D?”
A Lesson From My Daughter
Today the Twins had a cheer clinic to go to and they were nervous about it. This is their first time being dropped off somewhere other than with family or at school. We didn’t know if any of their friends would be there. They’ve never tried cheer before. As we got out of the carContinue reading “A Lesson From My Daughter”
Family Updates
Since I updated you all on myself the other day, here’s an update on the whole crew. The Hubs and I bought a company in April of 2024. It’s a daily game of trial by fire that brings me joy, laughter, tears, and the bubble guts. I love him now more than ever but questionContinue reading “Family Updates”
468
468. That’s how many days it’s been since I last posted on this blog. Just a couple of months shy of a year and a half. My last post, Today, was dark. I’d just lost one of my best friends, a woman who helped raise me, and had such an incredible impact on this world.Continue reading “468”
New Year’s Day!
Eight years ago (my God has it really been eight years?!) I got my heart broken on New Years Eve. A couple days later I adopted The Little Bad Dog and five months later I met the love of my life. Six months after that I met my oldest children and so on and soContinue reading “New Year’s Day!”
Family Updates
Dear Dedicated Readers, after almost a year, I think it’s time to begin writing again. I’d thought my days of blogging were done, but I’ve been feeling the call again so here we are. A lot has changed over the past year, too much to fit into one post for sure so for now we’llContinue reading “Family Updates”
It Takes A Village…
I’ve always heard the phrase “it takes a village to raise a child” and automatically assumed that translated into directly helping to raise the children. I wasn’t wrong, but I missed part of the value of a village as well. You see, I’ve been struggling lately. Work is amazing, my Husband is doing much better,Continue reading “It Takes A Village…”
Who Loved You Into Being?
The other night The Hubs and I decided to watch “A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood,” the Mr. Roger’s movie with Tom Hanks. It made me cry on three separate occasions because I’m a sap and it’s just a damn good story. What stopped me in my tracks though was one line. As Lloyd VogelContinue reading “Who Loved You Into Being?”
