2023 Dreams for this Tired Mom
Okay, I’ll jump in on this trend. Below is the (bucket) list of things I’d like to maybe accomplish/start this year. It’s both long and not very challenging. For the most part. Huh. I somehow managed to make a 23 in 2023 list. Go me. For reals though, this is a list of things that…

Mommy Update – She’s 3 Now!
Motherhood is a wild ride. Can that be said enough? River is three now and a whole person. She has thoughts and opinions all her own. She is a little adventurer, exploring the world with binoculars and climbing any surface that is still long enough. Gone is my baby needing to be held all the…

New Journal – who dis?
Journal update – I moved to a new notebook halfway through the year. Typically I move every 5 months but April was a month of avoidance for me which meant the notebook lasted longer. Yay? Sorry it’s coming at you so late. This is the same style/brand as my prior 2022 notebook. A dotted notebook…

Reviewing Goals from 1st Quarter
For 2022 I decided to try something new. Goal setting has never been a strong suit. Either they are too vague, incalculable, or something I didn’t care enough about to make happen. This year I decided to set goals, with quarterly milestones, to hopefully make them more achievable. This system has already taught me a…

It’s been awhile
Hello again. Long time no visit. I’ve been away awhile, working on me. Since I last saw you, many things have changed. Many things have also stayed the same. I’ve taken up yoga and do it every day. I walk taller, feel more grounded, and have had less anxiety these past few months. I still…
