First off, I have a much delayed thank you to send out to my soul sister, DragonFae. She passed the Versatile Blogger award on to me. It must be that she is overworked and sleep deprived to have appointed me for this (love ya, sis!), but I am truly honored to be among so many … Continue reading
I missed out on getting my weekly update done on Monday as the hubby was off of work and we spent the day just being lazy and enjoying a bit of quiet for a change. After that… well… there really isn’t any excuse other than I just got busy. Even with a weekend of more … Continue reading
Today is my official weigh in day for the week. Talk about progress! Since starting this I have lost a lot more than just weight. I have lost 5 1/4 inches around my waist, 1 3/4 inches around my bust, 3 inches around my hips and 2 in my thighs (around each thigh, not both … Continue reading
At my middle child’s last baseball game, I had another mom ask me about my jewelry. She already knew from previous conversations that I had an online shop so she knew that I made the pieces I was wearing. We were just talking about it and the different things I make and the materials I … Continue reading

I have now read two separate things today by two separate people in separate walks of life, both spewing the same level of intolerance for religious tolerance. In both cases, the writers talk … Continue reading
Here in the Midwest, February generally feels like we are still knee deep in Winter. Today, though, we are expected to see temps in the 70′s. Not that I am complaining. I’m actually really thrilled by that fact. It will be a blustery, warm day that feels very much like Spring. The crazy part is … Continue reading
Just after the new year, I had a small burst of energy and I was full of ideas and plans and motivation to get things done. That lasted all of a few days before I went back into hibernation. Apparently I wasn’t quite ready to emerge from my little cave. Instead, I have been snuggled … Continue reading
After what has seemed like a non-stop pace of running and doing, things are finally starting to calm down. I thought for sure that I’d be forced to continue that pace through the holidays, especially when my daughter woke up sick yesterday, but it appears that I have found the calm in the storm. My … Continue reading
With things having been so insanely busy dealing with the stress of the pool, I hadn’t really had a chance to get back to this until last week. I have discovered that, for me at least, having your power animal retrieved for you can actually be something of an ongoing process that presents little insights … Continue reading
