I’ve been thinking about something lately, and yesterday on the 4th of July, I got thinking about it even more. Listening to patriotic songs that mention previous wars, battles, hard times, and glory… plus watching the old war planes do flyovers at the nation’s Capitol celebration, it made me think about this world's complicated history… Continue reading Is it finally just our turn?

Thankful, Thoughts, Travel: 3×3 Tuesday
Hello! How's it going today? Feeling pretty good here, despite the growing concerns over increasing COVID numbers again. I've been having some intermittent anxiety/ worries about if this is EVER going to go away! I had really assumed initially, I guess, that this would maybe last through summer, but I always figured that by fall things… Continue reading Thankful, Thoughts, Travel: 3×3 Tuesday
It could always be worse!
Going to try to keep this short for you today.... I want to share a quick story, something that happened when I was around 21 years old and a new college grad that really stuck with me. It’s one of those things that really isn’t technically even that profound or significant, but for some reason it… Continue reading It could always be worse!
Approaching the TEENAGE years. OMG.
Ivan and I spent a little time last night hashing out a birthday gift list for Ethan. His birthday is coming up in just a couple weeks, so we need to get going. Especially with any shipping delays, I feel like we probably should have had any important/ bigger items ordered by now! I have… Continue reading Approaching the TEENAGE years. OMG.
Have we all become homebodies by choice?
I’ve been thinking about something, as things start to open back up and we have moved into Phase 2 here in Wisconsin. Throughout the strict pandemic lockdown, I assumed that as soon as things lifted, people would flood back out into the world, like horses charging out of the starting gate, desperate to get back… Continue reading Have we all become homebodies by choice?
Well, how about that! Who knew?
I learned something new last night that kind of blew my mind! I’m sort of hesitantly sharing this, because I’m not exactly sure if this SHOULD be new information to me…..I kind of wonder if this is one of those things that everybody else already knew, but I sort of somehow missed the memo?? Last… Continue reading Well, how about that! Who knew?
Am I spending 1/3 of my life on my phone??
I was texting with a friend/co-worker yesterday, and she said something that made me stop in my tracks for a second. It wasn’t anything novel or new, and it wasn’t even totally accurate, but it stuck with me all day and overnight. We were talking about all the constant negativity online and just how overwhelming… Continue reading Am I spending 1/3 of my life on my phone??
Word of the Year: Intentionality
It’s so hard to believe, but being June, it means the year is basically about half over. Obviously, this has been a WEIRD (oh, so very weird) year, but, I guess I don’t think we necessarily have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Surely there must be some good things we can still accomplish,… Continue reading Word of the Year: Intentionality
Why Complain
Well, things sure change fast sometimes. I had a great weekend- that fun yet productive summer day and night on Saturday, and then a sort of lazier day yesterday filled with a good amount of relaxing time, Chipotle for lunch, a couple of TV shows, catching up on some work out on the deck and… Continue reading Why Complain
Be The Light
I have no strength or energy this morning to write a usual post. The world feels heavy and sad. I just don't even have words to describe what I'm thinking and feeling right now about the state of things happening in our country, nor is this blog meant to be a place for heated discussions… Continue reading Be The Light
