Made With Love
I was sitting on the couch beside my dogs last night. It was a rare event that Millie (the brown one) wanted to sit on the couch with me. Our evening routine is that Ethan is with me on the couch and Millie is with Josh on the loveseat, which sits perpendicular to the couch.… →

Never Enough Time
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? You know, thanks to perimenopause, and a healthier body free from stress and anxiety (most of the time), I actually don’t need much sleep these days.

Having the Patience
What’s the trait you value most about yourself? My husband will vehemently disagree with me on this one. In fact, he disagrees with me on this all…the…time. But! I really value my patience. To be fair, I’m not patient about everything. Which is probably why my husband thinks I’m impatient…even though it’s not my fault… →

I didn’t know her, but…

Selling My Craftiness
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? I’m a crafter. I knit, I crochet, I sew, I make my own note cards. Over the years, I have heard a lot of people tell me I should sell my stuff. And believe me, I thought about it. I even bought… →
