There are times where I feel the optimism of the changing season. The weather is cool in the mornings now. We turn off our AC and wake up buried under warm blankets. I take out cozy socks and cardigans. Chili is back in our meal rotation. I hopefully won't need to check the dog for… Continue reading

Black Lives Matter
I know this post is outside of my normal WIP post, but there's no way I could blog about the pandemic on here and not about this. Right now there are a lot of protests happening in the States for Black Lives Matter following the murder of George Floyd. Sadly, this has not been an… Continue reading Black Lives Matter
Embracing Change
A coworker asked me earlier this week if I was excited about my move. I smiled and nodded. But when I got back to my desk, I asked myself - AM I excited? And if I'm being honest, I'm not, at least not at this moment. I'm currently in the sadness and nostalgia phase of… Continue reading Embracing Change
A Sleep-Deprived Update
Good morning friends. I woke up at 3:30 and was unable to fall back asleep, so today's post is brought to you by caffeine and fatigue. I hope you all had a great weekend. We had a good one. Husband played another show Friday night at a neat venue with some great bands. Saturday we… Continue reading A Sleep-Deprived Update
Book Review – Under the Harrow
Hi friends! It's been awhile since I've done a book review! Let's start with Under the Harrow, by Flynn Berry. I started this book in September, right after finishing a terrible mystery novel.

Not only was I was intrigued by the collection's premise, I wanted to support a Texan writer (she received her MFA from the University of Houston). I really enjoyed this collection. The poems navigate womanhood, heartbreak, and abandonment with an assured,… Continue reading Book Review – Virgin
Weekend Updates – Hiking, Magic (Cards) and Craftiness
Good morning! It's hard to believe it's already August 20th. The month is slipping through my fingers. Only 11 days left in the fiscal year and a little more than two months until my test. The past two weekends have been fun. On Saturday, we explored Bull Creek Park. It was beautiful. I definitely want… Continue reading Weekend Updates – Hiking, Magic (Cards) and Craftiness
Patience
The theme for this summer, I'm finding, is definitely patience. Patience isn't something that comes to me naturally, but it's a skill I am working on honing. Sometimes it's difficult to live in the moment and let things unfold naturally. I want my PE certification already, I want to level up with skills at work,… Continue reading Patience
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
