I am from peace and quiet, from Old English to polish the antique furniture and line-dried clothes, lovingly hung with wooden clothespins. I am from a dirt road, where grass grows long, sticks crack under your feet as you walk and the scent of burning leaves fill the air. I am from the lilac bush, […]
My Spiritual Journey
I’m an outspoken person; therefore I am not one to shy away from topics like politics and religion. In fact, both are topics I love discussing, even if friends/family have opposing views because I always walk away with a new piece of knowledge. So, I decided I would tackle religion today… I am a fairly […]
Lessons My Daughter Teaches Me
Even though my little 10-month old munchkin can’t verbally tell me things, she teaches me something about myself each day. She’s my sidekick and already my best friend. I can’t wait to learn more valuable (and maybe not-so-valuable!) lessons from her down the road. Here are 10 lessons she has shown me, complete with fun […]
Guest Post: Spread A Little Thin
Today I’m over at Spread A Little Thin talking about some of the baby battles I endured during my firsts days as a brand new mom. Thanks to fellow Michigander (and hilarious blogger) Amy for letting me speak my mind for her cool War Story series! Readers: I will not be posting every day this week. […]
The Talk
Surprisingly, I remember having “the talk” well. Maybe because I was the one guiding the conversation… We had just eaten dinner and my mom was washing dishes in front of our garden window. My brothers had left the room to play Nintendo and I knew I had a good window to speak with her alone. […]
Ode to My Favorite Pants
Gray comfy pants, I’m going to miss you. I remember the day I bought you 10 years ago. You were 2 for $30 at Express. I bought a black pair too, but they didn’t fit like you. I wore you to many 8 a.m. classes my freshman year at college. You inspired me to sleep […]
Summer Bucket List
Because I LOVE making lists, I jumped at the chance to create a summer bucket list. Unlike my usual new years resolution lists, this should all be completely attainable – and low-cost – after all, I’m a gal on a tight budget. Here are 50 things I hope to do for myself and with my […]
3 Years of Wedded Bliss
I am posting this a day early because I will be participating in VlogTalk tomorrow. Three years ago tomorrow, I married the most wonderful man. He laughs at my stupid jokes. He holds my hand in church. He knows when to let me cool off when I’m angry. He pulls me close when I look […]
27 Life Lessons
Today is my 27th birthday. To celebrate, I will be having sushi and cocktails later today. But, in reflection of my 27 years on the planet, I’ve decided to compile a list of some of the things I have learned thus far on my aging journey. Please note I have A LOT of learning left […]
Fave Person: Groovin’ Grandma
I once wrote a sad post about my grandma. She suffers from dementia and it’s awful to witness. But as sad as that is, I am blessed to have another living grandma, my mom’s mother, who is still alive. And well. Like, reallllly well. I chose Mama Kat’s prompt to write 10 things about one […]
A Love/Hate Relationship With My First Car
Before my days at my first steady job, I babysat a lot of neighborhood munchkins. Each weekend babysitting job between the ages of 12 and 15, I’d spend a little of my hard earned money and save a little. I was saving up for one thing I dreamt about since turning 12: my first car. […]
Lessons Learned From Mom
I conducted a fun experiment with my mother. I had decided I was going to write down 10 things my mom taught me growing up for Mother’s Day and decided it might be fun to get her thoughts on things she hoped she taught me. We had quite a few that were on the same […]
Life Lessons Learned at Walmart
I have something from my past that many people would never want to admit: My first “real” job was at Walmart, and I worked there for more than two years during high school. I know most people see it as the most evil place on earth. Well, I beg to differ. I had friends that […]
Grandma Doesn’t Remember Me
I try to visit my grandma (my dad’s mother) as much as possible, but part of me thinks “what good is it?” She’s 89, but can’t remember how old she is (she says she’s 90, but I remind her she’ll be 90 in September). She can’t remember where she puts things. She offends people without […]
Won’t You Be My [Bloggy] Neighbor?
[To the tune of the Mister Rogers Neighborhood theme song] Walks in. Takes off jacket. Puts a sweater on. Begins monologue: Hello neighbors! Thanks for joining me for my first ever spiffy new blog post. I hope you enjoy your time here. I know everyone is SO excited for me to just get to all […]
