Oh friends. My brain has been addled with all sorts of tomfoolery these last several days (and weeks.)
I’m staring down the barrel of a cannon’s worth of activity: TWO jobs, plus single parenting, plus Mr. Hockey; and all I can think of is adding more into the mix. What’s up with that??
I am desperately wanting [...]

I obsessed a bit about how to proceed (you’re shocked. I know.) And in the end, I decided a more “organic” method [...]

Today feels unsettled. Like I’ve come to the end of a chapter. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out what is ending or what could make me feel like it is ending. If [...]

Today’s Photo Scavenger word is “Sweet.” Chosen by me

I had my very first ever “meet a blogger live and in person” today. Miss Eliza and I had coffee. (cue: dramatic music)
I must say she is an amazing woman. Smart, articulate, compassionate. Good mom, loving wife, good friend and daughter. She works as a teacher’s aid in a special education classroom (which is hard [...]
