Two months into 2021 already! How is it treating you so far? This month has been a slow but steady trickle of social events. It’s a glimmer of pre-pandemic times that part of me misses and part of me doesn’t. Here’s our February. Hands This month was one of those that we did a lot but we probably should have …

If you read my post on routines, you’ll remember I mentioned that I’m back to bullet journaling. I gave it up two years ago when I lost time and patience to put together my pages. However the past few months have been a fresh wind of creativity and motivation. So I decided this year, instead of paying $20 or more …

Ahh coloring books. I remember when the adult coloring books became a thing. That summer, while on Watkins family vacation, us girls spent an inordinate amount of time at the table, coloring in the books we’d brought. Now I have a stack, most of them unfinished still. I love them because it encourages people like me, who can boast art …

Have you ever really thought about what makes you happy? As a kid, it seemed like it was easy to find happiness everywhere. Running full speed across our big yard. A fizzy can of grape soda. Bear hugs from my grandpa. But nowadays, it seems like we’re working so hard to chase happiness that we don’t stop to think about …
Hey everyone! I’m back… for the moment anyway. Did anyone else have kind of a rough summer? It was like going from zero miles an hour to one hundred, with mounting stress and anxiety about the state of things. I ended up uninspired and with little time to blog anyway, I just gave up trying. So now here I am. …

I cleaned the house and went to the store multiple times. Now we have a long weekend ahead before we embark onto my …
