Real life…
Do you ever feel like you just have so much to say, but what you have to say is so difficult to put into words? I’m a writer. I’ve always been one. When I was young, I was regularly writing children’s stories, shorts stories… lots of fiction. I can write fiction. It’s the real stuff…

Letting our kids grow up…
My son started kindergarten today. I’m both happy for him and heartbroken, scared, etc. My husband & I met with his teacher, the school psychologist & principal yesterday to go over what the plan is for him and the evaluation for an IEP. He’s in a great school & they all seemed like they know…

So, I painted the door…
So, I mentioned before how I was thinking about painting the pantry door. Well, I did & I love it! All of the walls in our house are still so white. When we moved in, all we painted was the bedrooms. And with our kitchen being white, I needed some color. I love it–it gives…

I will even buy packs of the inserts to use them for other things, besides my planner! Here are simple frames from Ikea (4×6 Fiskbo frames) with the inserts cut to size. Super…

Socializing as a kid, adult…
Our son starts kindergarten in just a week… I’m super excited for him, but a complete emotional mess. Any time I start to think about it, I get all teary-eyed. I’m not ready for him to be gone everyday. Everyday for the next 12-13 years. Then gone even more after that. Why do we make…

It’s been a while…
There has been a lot going on lately. My grandpa, who’s 98 & I’ve seen at least once a week my entire life, had a stroke almost 2 weeks ago. It happened after him & I got back to his place from running errands. I, thankfully, was there with him & called 911 in time,…
