Change – not coins

One post a month just won’t do. I promise I’ll get better.  My intentions are there but time swiftly moves at a pace I can not catch. Until now. I consider myself a kind, giving and thoughtful person.  More often than not “thoughtful” becomes “over-thinking”.  Although I’m a planner, my husband is quick to point […]

See through Pants

Yoga.  The beautiful, calming practice of being still left me anxious as FUCK last Saturday. Ironic, right?  I mean, how can something so soothing cause stress?  That my friend, is all in the pants you wear. It was early on a Saturday.  My men were house sitting which means I got a good night sleep […]

and…I’m Back!

About a month ago, I realized I can’t do it all.  I can’t juggle being a full time mom, wife, keeping the house clean, having two part-time jobs, try to be an ambassador for a few companies, post on social media and keep up on my blog.  Things suffered, things were done at a half […]

Love…

I’ve never been good at dating.  Like NEVER.  I was so bad at it, it literally still surprises me that I’m married with kids. In High School, I didn’t have a boyfriend.  I liked to tell myself it was because I didn’t want to be locker room talk but in all actuality I wasn’t asked […]

Dreams

  Reading has always been one of my favorite pastimes and my imagination is wicked.  That being said I can’t read Stephen King.  I’ve been terrified of clowns ever since I tried reading IT.  I didn’t even come close to finishing the book, I got maybe 2 chapters in and started losing sleep; I decided […]

Aging…

It’s been lurking in the shadows, ready to jump out and attack. Before I was ready, it was here… My birthday. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m turning 29 (AGAIN) in two days. You read that right.  I’ll be turning 29 again, and I don’t care one bit that I’ve had a few (Ok, more than […]

MN Blog Conference Re-Cap

This year, by the generosity of my friends, I was able to attend the MN Bloggers Conference.  I’ve been writing on a blog for about 3 years and I haven’t even heard of this conference (insert embarrassed emoji). The problem is I haven’t networked much.  I was beyond excited to attend the conference just for […]

Tracks

I can’t remember the first time I put a penny on a set of train tracks, waited for a train to run it over and then went back to find it.  I don’t remember where we were or how old I was but I know my dad is the one that took me. Every time we go up […]

Unthink

I pride myself on thinking outside of the box.  I’ve actually won quite a few contests by thinking just a tad different then everyone else.  I like it and it’s fun!  A few weeks ago I went to Dallas for a work conference.  Going in I thought that it would be full of suits and […]
