I can not believe it is already March. Tax season is in full swing and working in the industry means its busy time. Last year at this time I was EXHAUSTED by now. I was eating terribly and not working out, this year I made a promise to myself to not go down that path […]

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 […]
Goal begins with GO
“A goal without a plan is just a wish” someone said once. Let’s turn those wishes into actions! I challenge you to come up with 5 goals and use the summer season to complete them. They do not have to be super challenging but they do have to be something that makes you want to […]
Boys and Body Issues
I used to date this guy with some pretty MAJOR body issues. Like, I’ve slept with him a few times and haven’t ever seen him naked. Not. Even. Once. He was the skater type. Even on the hottest days he wore jeans, a hoodie skater shoes and a baseball cap. SOMETIMES I’d see him in […]
Rocky
Some of my extended family is pretty eccentric. The particularly odd ones are VERY odd. It took me years to appreciate their uniqueness. When I was fourteen my parents went on their first vacation without us kids and out of the country. They packed their bags and headed to Mexico for what felt like an eternity. […]
