Put on the damn swimsuit.
I wore a two-piece swimsuit to the public pool today and guess what terrible thing happened? Literally nothing. No children cried. No one vomited. No one told me to put a shirt on. Literally, no one cared. Now you see, I haven’t worn a bikini in public since I was… ummm probably 14 or 15.…

Keep Blooming
7-ish years ago we purchased our current home from my grandparents. Over the years we have been working on renovating, repairing and turning this old house into our home. We have changed just about every component of this home so far, but in all these years we have never touched this rose bush. This is…

Word of the year 2020
Hey guys! Can you even believe it’s 2020? This is so weird because I’m pretty sure we are supposed to have levitating cars by now but whatever. The Jetson’s did not adequately prepare me for this disappointment. Anyway, ever year for the last several years I have chosen a Word Of The Year to focus…

Stay at home mom struggles
Sometimes being a stay at home mom can be the most depressing job ever. I know what you are thinking *GASP!* “How dare you say that it’s depressing to be home with your precious cherubs!” “You’ll never get these days back!” “You’re going to miss this.” Listen Susan, I know! I know that I am…

Why I closed my vinyl business
For about 15 months I ran a vinyl business. I made shirts and vinyl decals and signs. In December, I took a break for Christmas and while on Christmas Break I decided not to open my business back up after the beginning of the year. I’ve caught a lot of crap for quitting so I…

Super Bowl food= Appetizer Thanksgiving?
Last night was the Super Bowl. Let me start this by saying that I really give zero cares about football. (But I might have if the had Chiefs made it! Yes, I’m still bitter.) I know that those words probably break my dads heart because he helped coach high school football when I was a…
