Working It..or just working

I have recently begun the adventure of online selling. It’s super small at the moment, I want to see what kind of interest my shop generates before I work my fingers to the bone. Since I’m already volunteering at the bird sanctuary, I have figured out how to use some of the gorgeous feathers that […]

Enough

Do you ever feel like you’re never doing enough? As a stay at home mom whose mother lives with her, I feel like this quite often.  See, I get help. I should have plenty of head space and planning and ability to do it all, but very consistently I do not. Turns out i’m human. […]

Goodbye Carbs

I’m borderline diabetic. I’ve finally decided to start eating accordingly….. grudgingly. Tonight’s new introduction is acorn squash. I went shopping the other night looking for replacements for our staple (i.e. every single day side) of potatoes/pasta/bread. I keep hearing how amazing spaghetti squash is, so while picking up one of those I got ahead of […]

Workin’ It

Therapy is a lot of work. There, I said it. Yes, I have a therapist. I have a damned good therapist. My husband and I have gone to counseling for our bigger issues. Issues that gone unmediated could have caused us to split potentially. I’m not ashamed we needed help. We have gone for counseling […]
