Struggles with being and doing it all
On the eve of Maximus’ 6th birthday I’m left feeling a little deflated. My feet feel like dead weight kind of deflated. I spent the day vacuuming, sorting toys, organizing toys, and putting all things kid away. In between that I stopped to have a beer and buy party supplies. {The beer was extra delicious!} … Continue reading Struggles with being and doing it all
Feeling the raw emotion
When I wrote that post about finding your tribe, I didn’t fully realize how much I was going to need them. I don’t normally need people. I’m usually pretty self-sufficient and strong. I know strong sounds like a weird reflection of myself, but I don’t usually doubt myself or need others to reassure me. I … Continue reading Feeling the raw emotion
The power of words
I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around something for a while. Struggling to put it into eloquent words. Heck, I don’t know that it was necessarily eloquent but maybe just words in general. I’ve had a few friends get pretty hurt lately. If I wasn’t so stubborn, I probably would have experienced my share … Continue reading The power of words
Finding me again
There’s been a lot of talk on social media about finding your tribe. I absolutely love it! I went on a girls trip a couple months ago and felt that girl tribe bond. I joked that I couldn’t wait for the trip because I was going to unadult. To adult: to work a desk job, care for a … Continue reading Finding me again
It’s ok, I’ve got your back.
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve realized that I really enjoy being there for my friends. I know that seems silly to say out loud. It seems like one of those givens in life. Maybe it’s been a while since I was reminded that I have a purpose outside of my family and job. … Continue reading It’s ok, I’ve got your back.
My new outlet: riding
Riding is my new thing. It’s my chance at some time with friends, a carved out exercise plan, and an opportunity to push myself as an individual. It wasn’t something I ever planned on doing. I wasn’t sure I wanted to do it. I was a year plus into Quinten’s life and I needed something. I was … Continue reading My new outlet: riding
Two boys with very different personalities
I can’t write things down quick enough these days. A little boy on the verge of turning four and a baby on the brink of 18-month do-it-myself-ness. That’s a lot of new things each day. Things that make us laugh, shake our head, or sigh in exasperation. They are each going to push us in … Continue reading Two boys with very different personalities
A birthday surprise
My birthday was over a week ago, but I’m just now finding time to sit down with my blog. Maybe I should have wished for a little better time management or priorities at night, then I’d have some more time to write. But I didn’t and I don’t. Some day… I kind of feel like … Continue reading A birthday surprise
YOU have the power to love or hurt someone
Do you ever feel like you’re alone on a deserted island? Yah, me either. Except, really I do sometimes. The brain is an interesting thing. A person can appear to be completely surrounded by people, but inside they feel completely alone in the world. I haven’t quite figured out what sparks these feelings, but I … Continue reading YOU have the power to love or hurt someone
