When did it happen? I remember just a few years ago looking at my account balances and scrounging together enough change so that I could go out to the bar with my friends on Friday nights. Now? Now my Friday nights are spent chasing around a two year old and cooking dinner for my… Continue reading Becoming a Responsible Adult: My Dream Was to Grow Up
Life is supposed to be experienced with joy, and at this point in life maybe taking a moment to “stop and smell the roses” is the best advice ever given.
Lately I have been holding off on writing. It turns out that when I get really into something I unconsciously block out what’s going on around me. In this moment of my life, my newfound love of writing has been put in place of taking full advantage of the time spent with my daughter.… Continue reading Kissing Bubbles
Writer is not my profession. Hell, until a few weeks ago it wasn’t even my hobby, but for some reason I find myself sitting in front of a computer typing out whatever is going to come out of my fingertips next. Most of the time I have no idea what I am going to say…write?…until… Continue reading I am not a Writer

Yesterday I decided I wanted to build my own computer, so I spent the day watching the little one and dissecting my old custom computer to figure out a layout. This is what happens when stay-at-home parents… Continue reading Thank You

Went outside early this morning and sat outside for a while. I listened to the birds chirp and the watched the Sun shine through the trees as it made it’s way higher into the sky. My list of things I am thankful for definitely exceeded the ten item goal I set for myself yesterday. I… Continue reading Give Thanks for What You Have
Daily Prompt: Roaring Laughter The last time I had a good, gut-wrenching laugh was …too long ago to remember. The cause, however, is easy to recall. She’s just shy of three feet tall and goes by the name of “Mia.” Our daughter is the usual source of comedic relief in our house, so the fact… Continue reading There’s Just Something About a Good Laugh
Today I want to practice being thankful as soon as my feet hit the floor. I think so many of us get caught up in the day-to-day struggle that we forget what we have and how well off we are. I know I do it all of the time, and while we certainly do not… Continue reading Gratitude is the Best Attitude
