Yesterday it dawned on me that with the closure of school through the end of the year, this means that assuming they return on schedule on September 1st, the kids will have been home full time with me for 5 1/2 months.

COVID + My Job= A Quick Update!
If you've been following my posts for the last couple weeks, you will have seen me mention some uncertainties surrounding my job.

The Perfect Day
While I try to generally look on the bright side if I can, I'm not honestly always someone who sees everything as sunshine and rainbows necessarily. I feel like by nature I'm actually naturally a bit more "pessimistic", which is why over the past 5 years or so I have actively been working on changing this… Continue reading The Perfect Day

A Random Thursday: Work Worries, a new School Schedule and Lemon Bars
The last few days have felt pretty manageable. There hasn't been a lot of real significance to report, but overall I feel like this week has been going relatively smoothly.
