A Tic Tac Totally Awesome Valentine
Hey, what’s up!? It’s been a minute. Remember me? Probably not. Anyway. What you’re really here for is my Tic Tac Totally Awesome Valentine, and I know that so I’ll get to it. I’m a crafter. I love to craft. I got a Cricut Explore One for Christmas two years ago, and it sat on […]
Let’s Talk About: the Chore Chart (Free Printable Inside!)
In the past three days, I’ve learned that nothing—nothing at all—can simultaneously motivate and irritate my children quite like a chore chart. The first two days were not smooth. There were wails of “I don’t understaaaaaaand” and “what do I do noooooow?” and “does 30 minutes mean THIRTY MINUTES?” And then they just…started doing their […]

Don’t Call It A Comeback
True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are. It requires you to be who you are. –Brené Brown You know that feeling when something is off-kilter, but you can’t explain exactly what it is?

Persistence: My 2018 Word of the Year
2017 tried to kill me. I mean, it really did. Job loss, a blood clot, pulmonary emboli, finding an amazing new job, nearly losing that job, co-pays, stress, anxiety, depression.
