iPPP: It’s Spring Alright!

Spring has sprung!   I have dreams of a fairy garden, thanks to my mother-in-law, and I won this adorable wind chime to place in it. There’s a gorgeous purple bird bath behind the blue one that would be perfect. I’ll have to sit and think on it a while.   This post is a…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Things I *Won’t* Say}

I’m so glad Fadra brought this up, because it’s been on on my mind a lot lately. There are things I want to talk about, but can’t, shouldn’t, and won’t. In the past couple of years, as my writing has become more serious, and less venty, I’ve become more mindful of what I say and…

Random Musings Friday!

I’m so excited to be linking up with Shana again today for another Random Musings Friday!  * We took the girls to the doctor’s office yesterday, and even though we had the first appointment of the day, it still took the doctor 45 minutes to see us. That was fine when they were babies, but…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Missing}

My soon-to-be-ex-husband has been missing since Thursday. I don’t know how I should feel about it, but I know how I do feel about it: Angry. Annoyed. Worried. Frustrated. Scared. (but only for selfish reasons, and only a little bit) More than likely, he’s secluded himself from the world to explore a new high, to…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {BIRTHDAY!}

In case you’re new, or hide under large rocks, it’s BIRTHDAY month around these blog parts, and I am beside myself with excitement. I’ve wanted to be in my 30s for about two years now, and now that Wednesday (aka BIRTHDAY!!) is quickly approaching, my excitement level is rising. My 20s have been some pretty…

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser!

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. Let’s talk about eating our feelings, because that’s what I did all week. Sure, I lost one whole pound of something or another, but none of my efforts are responsible for that loss. I didn’t eat crap all week,…

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser! {Plateaus!}

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. I went to visit my in-laws this weekend and when I sat down to write on Saturday, I got about halfway through my “Free Your Mind” post and the girls woke up from their naps. I went to finish…

Random Musings Friday!

Happy Friday!! I’m linking up again with Shana at Fumbling Towards Normalcy! It’s been a decent week! Probably the best I’ve had in a while. I met up with an old friend on Saturday, my mother in law hung out with us on Sunday, and the rest of the week has sort of flown by….

Bloggers’ Biggest Loser! {Size What!?}

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. Oh my gosh, I am SO excited to finally tell you my big news! Are you ready? I had an awesome NSV* this week! As of last week, I am officially fitting into my PRE-PREGNANCY JEANS!!!!! Gah!!!!  I was…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Choosing JOY}

It’s easy to be negative… to gossip, speak badly of others, voice our grievances, annoyances, and to complain about others’ shortcomings. It’s easy to marinate in our grief and to let it overcome an entire day of thoughts, to be angry, resentful, and petty. It’s so. damned. easy. Harder, though the reward is great, is…
