  • 2023 Dreams for this Tired Mom

    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!

    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?

    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…

  • Returning to School as an Adult?

    Returning to School as an Adult?

    As part of this life refresh, I am going through, I have been noodling about going back to school to learn new skills. Am I interested in getting a degree in accounting in order to eventually get a CPA? Am I interested in joining the tech industry as a project manager? Am I interested in…

  • What Is In Store for Me In August? A Tarot Reading

    Hello August! For this month, I did a reading following a seven-card spread that I found online: The questions I focused on and added to my journal are as follows: What is the overarching theme or focus of this month? What challenge will I face? What is the lesson? What will give me strength and…

  • Succumbed to COVID After 2 Years

    Succumbed to COVID After 2 Years

    It only took 2 and a half years. Being sick sucks. It started with me feeling dizzy. Then I was exhausted and achy. Then my throat felt like I’d been swallowing glass shards. It only went downhill from there. We sequestered me in the main bedroom to try and keep our daughter from getting sick.…

  • Q2 Goal Recap and Setting Q3 Goals

    I’m here for another check-in on my goals. Here’s to holding myself accountable. My Quarter 2 goals were as follows (0-3 stars): Achieve level 1 mastery in JKD ⭐⭐⭐ Done! I got my butt kicked but had a great time. I have even been working towards level 2. Continue daily yoga ⭐ Ahhhhhhh. April was…

  • Reviewing Goals from 1st Quarter

    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

    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…

  • Weekly Update #1

    I’m thinking about doing a weekly check-in. How does that sound? A real-time, weekly update about how I am doing and what’s going on in my life. It may not happen every week but I am curious about giving it a shot between now and the end of the year.  This weekly check-in would likely…
