Messes. I frikkin hate messes. They make my anxiety go haywire and also cause some flashbacks to some negative memories. I am not the neatest person in the world (much better than I was in my dorm days š¬ ) but I tend to keep a decent house. Enter kids. And husband. And now dog.Continue reading “Rainbows, Unicorns, and Motherhood #7: It Puts the Stuff in the Basket”

I am a Homeowner!!
That house I talked about in Playing Adult outside of Ithaca, NYā¦itās ours as of yesterday š I am so excited! So many ideas and plans, and there is so much room inside and outside! Iāve lived in 21ish houses, one ship, and multiple long-term hotels over my 32 years (I get a different countContinue reading “I am a Homeowner!!”
Playing Adult
I mentioned in Finally a Trip to Ithaca, NY that I couldnāt wait to get back to Ithaca. That happened much quicker than I expected…my MIL came into town last week so Chris and I decided to capitalize on her being here and make a weekend trip up north. There was a house we wereContinue reading “Playing Adult”
Teleworking with Kids
If anyone is curious, this is what teleworking with a small kid looks like. On telework days I rarely get much done. I usually set the goal to turn my computer on by lunch…thatās what my work-life has turned into. Not complaining though. I went from 60-80 hour work weeks, 100-150 emails a day, andContinue reading “Teleworking with Kids”

With kids there are new challenges to going to the beach. Mainly sand…in cracks…butt cracks, front cracks, shoe cracks, carContinue reading “The Traveling Boobs #2: Beaches”
Morning Time is for Mommy…Or Not…
Me time! Between 70+ hour work weeks, two lovely (but young) children, the hubs, and working out; āme timeā was nearly impossible for many years. In recent months, “me timeā has been something I have been forced to prioritizeāand thankfully, a change in my pace of life has allowed this to work out. I usedContinue reading “Morning Time is for Mommy…Or Not…”
āI Like You Momā
I love looking at this face when I wake up. I missed so much of this with Emma and with Graycie for her first 3.5 years. Soaking it all in now I think itās safe to say she is finally weened, but Iām pretty sure she is going to sleep in bed with me forever.Continue reading “āI Like You Momā”
Home is where the heart is…
Never been a fan of that saying, but as a Marine and military brat, I get it. If I am counting correctly, Iāve lived in 21 houses in my 32 yearsāand that doesnāt include extended stays in hotels, or deployment, or training. Iāve logged about a year on a ship and another year in hotelsContinue reading “Home is where the heart is…”
