A Teenage Haven
Flashback Friday As I have been transcribing my journals and getting all in my high school feelings, I decided I wanted to buy something to set the mood for when I’m writing. I already have a “high school nostalgia” playlist that I can listen to, but I wanted something from my teenage bedroom. And that… →

On the Verge of a Sister Reunion
Flashback Friday In honor of reuniting with my oldest sister this weekend, here is a photo from 2019 for this week’s flashback. This was taken at my oldest nephew’s high school graduation. Fun story—he was at my high school graduation in 2000. He had been born in August of 1999 and so he was less… →

The First Days
Flashback Friday As I’ve been counting down to my last day of work and anticipating my first day at my new job, I’ve been talking with my oldest sister about it. When I told her I was excited to start my new job, she reminded me that I was excited about the job I’m leaving.… →

Flashback Friday I’m revisiting one of the daily prompts that came up on this day last year. I thought maybe there was a way I could tie in my answer to the “Flashback Friday” theme. My answer to this question last year was “Why?”. My husband would always try and help me when my anxiety… →

The Organization Nerd Awaits
Flashback Friday I had a dream last night about a memory from my childhood that I thought would make a good Flashback Friday post today. It was completely random and it was about the time when my mom went to a city council meeting with a complaint, a tape recording, and actually made something change.… →

Things That Really Matter
Flashback Friday I’m late posting today. It was a boring, but productive day at work. Not many people in the office, so I kept my air pods in most of the day and listened to my “random awesomeness” playlist. Let me just say, it was an eclectic mix of music that kept me motivated today.… →

Flashback Friday—But Not Mine
With it being Flashback Friday, let me honor not a story from my past, but rather, the memory of past movies of this icon we lost today: Any child of the 80s and 90s knows Catherine O’Hara. Her most famous roles were Kate McCallister and Delia Deetz from “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice” respectively. Though I… →

As Prepared As We’ll Ever Be
Flashback Friday Exactly one year ago, this was what my backyard looked like: I don’t know what it’s going to look like on Sunday. That’s the day the ice is supposed to be here wreaking havoc. I’m late with my post today because man it has been a busy day! Until 1:30ish, I was manning… →
