I decided to try a new journaling exercise since I am not very good at keeping up on the however many days of journaling. I found one online that I kind of like, so I'll use that for a while. I intend to figure out my own prompts. Journaling may help me more if I … Continue reading April Checkup →

I have a friend who has a daughter who would be about my age. Today is her birthday. Her earth birthday. I was thinking that I can't imagine how hard it must be some days to see me and where I'm at in life. Then I thought, I know exactly what that's like. One of … Continue reading Grieving Together →

28. Your ultimate goal in life. Here's the problem with grief and loss: It makes me seem like I've become short-sighted. I don't really have long term goals like 'Where do you see yourself in 5 years' anymore. I know I'm in school right now. I'm in a longer program that leads to training and … Continue reading Journaling Day 28 →

27. Who is your best friend? What qualities make them your friend? My husband is I guess King of my best friends. He's typically the one I go to, the one I like to talk to the most. But I've been told I do best friends wrong because I don't think I have just one. … Continue reading Journaling Day 27 →

26. Your biggest idol. What can you do to be more like them? I tried answering this a few days ago. The only people I can really think of are Reese Witherspoon and Kristen Bell.

The new little is a month old today. While scrolling through my search engine that plants trees for searches (Ecosia) looking for types of flowers that help the pollinators, I had a realization. My new mom brain gets weird about eco friendliness. It's not super abnormal for me to care about the environment, but when … Continue reading New mom eco brain →

24. Your favorite physical feature. My eyes. The only thing I don't love about them is the bags under them. The color is so interesting. It's a deep grey green. The shape is beautiful to me, and I absolutely love that both of my sons have it. My eyes may not always work great, but … Continue reading Journaling Day 24 →

23. What do you need to start saying yes to? Help. I'm so stubborn, I don't often accept help even when it's offered. Obviously I'm bad at asking for it too. I will give myself credit for taking initiative on getting help after having information about it thrown at me a few times in my … Continue reading Journaling Day 23 →

22. Your ideal pamper routine. Took a break because baby. My ideal pamper routine in the morning is wake up in the morning, brush my teeth, wash my face, put moisturizer/sun screen on, put some product in my hair to fight frizz and help my waves. Then I'd like to do some yoga and meditate. … Continue reading Journaling Day 22 →
