and everything in between
Let's just blow past the fact that I haven't written anything here in 5 months, shall we? When was the last time you sat down with yourself and thought about your values? And I mean really thought about them, like... sitting at the dining table with a notebook and pen, while your kids/boyfriend/dog/roommate/whatever is …
Life is curious. "The only constant is change." Yesterday was chaos. My babies had more energy than even they knew what to do with, The weather couldn't make up it's mind. I had so much to do I didn't know where to start. Then today came. The rain came. The calm came. So much calm …
I read a really beautiful piece written by a woman this morning. You can (and should!) read it here. She talked about her experience growing up surrounded by a group of female friends. Best friends, sleepovers, perfume sampling together, doing everything together really. Then moving away to a big city in her 20s and forming …
What do you do when you're feeling stuck? And what constitutes as actually being 'stuck'? I think the feeling of it becomes much larger if you have kids, because it's not just your life your decisions effect anymore. Like a weight on top of you. All of a sudden there's a much stronger need to …
My sweet baby girl was having trouble falling asleep for her nap this morning. She's been a near perfect baby, and when things don't go effortlessly it's easy for me to get impatient. To loose sight of the fact that she's only 10 months old. 10 months old. I'm 26 years old and no where …
1. Bing! The more e-mails I get in my inbox the more looking at my inbox stresses me out. I find if I'm signed up for too many different websites, I can't keep up with the amount of emails that come through and then I don't read anything because I'm overwhelmed. To combat this, take …
There was rarely a moment these past 26 years of mine where I actually cared about 'fitting in'. I'm sure this sounds like a blessing to some people, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Just because I do it, doesn't mean it's easy. Lately things have become sort of muddled. Self doubt, …
This is a trigger warning for anyone that has intrusive thoughts, has OCD, can't handle reading gross stuff, etc. I don't want to set anyone off, so read with caution. 'I have diagnosed OCD.' This is what I say to people when we're talking about my obsessive compulsive disorder. It's what I've defaulted to saying …
You know how every once in a while someone on your friends list builds up the courage to talk about the real life shit they're going through? The bad stuff that's going on with them at that moment in their life. Infertility, death, sickness, whatever it may be. They make a long post explaining what's …
For 2018, my word is "me". This cool woman I know chooses a word each year, to be sort of the theme of that year. I've always loved the idea, and every year I'm curious what her word will be. I've never actually done this myself but this year I sort of came across my …
