(I kind of can’t believe I have not used this title yet.) Anyways, hi! I am back. Life - wow is kind of wild as I am sure it is for you, too right about now. Whoever came up with the word “maycember” holy cow why did you have to be right? Pictured is my... Continue Reading →
When you have a bad day…
What do you do when you have a bad day? Do you sing a sad song just to turn it around? (Are you singing 'Bad Day' by Daniel Powter? It has been playing in my head the whole time I have been writing this post.) Yesterday I started my day by leaving for work when... Continue Reading →
New year, new me?
Maybe you have heard the phrase, or maybe you have heard it yourself. New year = New me. Do you really believe that phrase? Does the turn of a calendar year really make a difference in how you live your life? Are you still working on your new year's resolutions, or have you given up... Continue Reading →
A Time to Look Back at 2024
Well, if this year did not turn out how you thought it was going to, you are not alone. I really had good intentions to write a book this year, but I only got as far as writing an outline. Even though I did not reach my goal, I did accomplish a lot this year!... Continue Reading →
A Time to Have Time
Well, if you know me, or have picked up on this from reading my blog... I like to keep a full schedule. Sometimes it is over full, but most of the time I have made it through just full enough. This summer I have taken a step back. I have been taking time to sit... Continue Reading →

Last night I stayed in, poured myself a glass of wine and worked on a Pinterest craft while waiting for responses to messages on a dating app. (I took my great grandma's doilies and put them in embroidery hoops - see in the picture.) I felt old because my craft worked on the first try,... Continue Reading →
A Time to Share Your Feelings
I have recently been reading 'Untangle Your Emotions' by Jennie Allen and 'Why Can't I get It Together' by Jamie Ivey. I have also been continuing to read different podcasts about singleness and how to be both independent and interdependent. During my reading and listening I was reminded of some of what I learned in... Continue Reading →
A Time for Coffee and Nature
In the middle of a busy dance competition weekend, I was able to grab a medium coffee with caramel and cream from Dunkin and make my way to Lake Kegonsa State Park. I had to buy a state park sticker as this is my first of hopefully many trips to state parks in Wisconsin this... Continue Reading →
A Time to Turn 30 in London
Do you also procrastinate putting your pictures from a trip into a photo album?? I grew up scrapbooking with my mom, sister, and other family members. I realized that scrapbooking was not my cup of tea, so I started putting my pictures in photo albums instead, but I still put off plugging the pictures in... Continue Reading →
A Time for Self Care to Look Different
Over the last 3 1/2 years of writing this blog, I have changed how I make time and what I do to take care of myself. The goal is still the same: figure out how to stay sane while also making time to enjoy life right now. I have learned that sometimes the most important... Continue Reading →
