Thank you for waiting…patiently. It has been a year since my last post and longer since some real content. And I’ll be honest, I’m struggling to find the words to share now. And not for lack of want or things to say but getting started again. How does a writer pick up a pen after so long being so empty… Continue reading
Hi! I’m still here. I haven’t fallen off the earth. Promise. It’s been a bumpy last several months. My family has been through one amazing roller coaster of some major ups and downs. Just when we think we have things under control something else came up. I kind of feel like a broken record. 2016 has definitely been a year… Continue reading
You have probably noticed my absence. I’ve noticed my absence! I’ve missed my blog. I’ve missed connecting. I’ve missed sharing. But life recently has been “Hurry Up and Wait.” on so many fronts.

So when I saw Ramen Gnocchi Carbonara in the Better Homes and Garden Dinner on a Dollar magazine, I figured I would give it… Continue reading
Today is Women’s Equality Day! In this day and age, gender equality is not something we really think about on a daily basis. But as my husband and I plan the expansion of our family, hoping that one of our future children is a little girl, it is definitely an important topic to me. My hope is that by the… Continue reading
Microwaves. They are completely common place in our everyday world. They heat up a fast meal. They make leftovers warm. Even steeping and steaming a hot beverage or two.
You want it warm, thirty seconds to a minute and you are so good. Like I said, everyday common place item. For the most part we don’t give them a second… Continue reading
Happy Fourth of July! Today is our beloved country’s 239th birthday!
I am so proud and constantly awestruck that this experiment in democracy is still going strong. Its had its rough spots, including its conception based in paranoia of rule by one, some not so pretty moments, manifest destiny in the West and the imprisonment of Alice Paul, and… Continue reading
