It's a sad and scary time right now in the States. I voted last week and it was a respectful experience. Just a short line, everyone wore masks. I cast my ballot for Biden/Harris...and now we just sit. And wait. I hope you all are safe and are practicing lots of self-care. I hope you… Continue reading Three Things – Self Care Edition

Summer Makes Wish List
Happy Saturday friends! I'm currently drinking coffee while my lazy dog sleeps next to me. Hope you all are doing well! We found out yesterday that Husband's car is probably going to be a total loss. It's totally fine, but just in terms of timing, I thought of this gif and started laughing: https://media.giphy.com/media/1dIoHBbyFpWzK0Div8/source.gif Let's… Continue reading Summer Makes Wish List
Making It Wrap-Up
Last night, my husband and I got caught up on Making It. In case you haven't followed it, it's a crafting competition hosted by Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. I've loved every episode and am sad that Season 1 is already completed! If you haven't watched the finale yet, then don't read this post, because… Continue reading Making It Wrap-Up
Crafty Summer Updates
Hello everyone, hope you're having a great Sunday. It's been a pretty busy month in our little household. Fortunately most of it has pretty minor. My dog did get sick about two weeks ago with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. This can be fatal if left untreated, so we are so lucky we got Apollo the treatment he… Continue reading Crafty Summer Updates

First Day of Spring! Inspirations
Spring is finally here! Although it's been feeling like spring since February? But that's Texas weather for you. Today I was planting flowers I'd purchased three weeks ago tending to my garden and noticed a lovely Texas bluebonnet blooming. I have a brown thumb, so I wanted to capture this moment before it dies next… Continue reading First Day of Spring! Inspirations
GUYS I RAN OUT OF YARN
The other day I was thinking that I hadn't posted my February makes. I looked through my pictures and...realized I had only completed these: Now to be fair, I had been in the field for two weeks last month...but still! This is hardly anything. It was a good reminder to me that staying focused on… Continue reading GUYS I RAN OUT OF YARN
Making Mistakes to Grow
One of my roles at work is being a safety rep. For the next several months, I'm giving focus topic meetings on different aspects of being a safety rep since we have a lot of new safety reps in the area. For my first focus topic yesterday, I decided to discuss the aspects I'd found… Continue reading Making Mistakes to Grow
Easing into the New Year
I don't know about you guys, but I can't just dive right into my New Year's resolutions. Some people can, and that's great! Go you. But I find myself getting easily discouraged if I try to do ALL THE THINGS week 1. It's just a recipe to burn out by week 2. Building habits takes time,… Continue reading Easing into the New Year
