It’s Okay, I’m Okay
Feel the feeling but don't become the emotion. Witness it. Allow it. Release it. - Crystal Andrus I'm feeling better today. Just like a sickness that needs to be expelled from your body, I think I needed to vomit those thoughts out yesterday. I needed a "poor me" moment. I needed to show that my …
The $10 Solution To Saving a Marriage
If you haven't guessed by now, I love to take the ridiculous moments in my life and turn them into a (hopefully) humorous post for you, my dear readers. Okay, so every now and again I like to spout off my opinion on religion, share a recipe and my latest diet trend, or a bee …
Grateful This day is THROUGH
I am all about gratitude. Every morning after I wake, I whisper "thank you" three times for getting the chance to live another day. Yeah, probably should've mentioned that one to my hubby; the first couple of times I started doing that, he thought I was possessed. I feel very fortunate. Every day, I reflect on three things …

The Whip and Zucchini Chips
I haven’t touched on anything personal over the past couple of months, but am slowly warming up to the idea of writing again. To be honest, the break was nice. With the way my mind works, however, having a creative outlet is a must. I can’t promise weekly blog posts from here on out. I …
Funky Writing
I've been in a bit of a writing funk lately. The thing is, unlike most writing funks, I know exactly why I can't produce. Some members of my husband's family are currently dealing with some pretty scary shit, which is drudging up a lot of painful memories of my own. This is as far as I …
Step Right Up and Take the Grown-Up Quiz!!
One of my favorite blogs to read, My Friday Blog, recently had a Forward to the Past post that included a ‘Grown-Up Survey’. Truth is, I secretly miss those random quizzes too. The ones that let you mentally step away from your norm during the day, or wind down at night. The ones that let …
