As of today, we are officially out of Covid time out. We have to continue strict masking for five more days, but we can do necessary things. My poor children have been so cooped up, I decided to break for a little freedom this morning and take them for a hike in the woods. So,Continue reading “good or bad.”

let it out.
I was going to call this “let it go” but then I would have had to belt out the song and honestly, my family gets enough of that nonsense. Last I posted two weeks ago, I wasn’t quite myself, I felt like I was drowning but I’m here to tell you its better. The dayContinue reading “let it out.”
brave.
Bravery exists in so many forms. Sometimes is trying something new. Other times it’s knowing enough about yourself not to try. Whatever form it takes, it’s always pretty amazing. We started our trip by hitting H2OBX (water park) on our way down to the Outer Banks yesterday. Before we had even left the hotel, myContinue reading “brave.”
tornado warnings, tacos and gratitute.
I started mentally writing this post the other day when I received a gift in the mail from a friend. A gorgeous human being that I get to call “framily” pre-ordered me a book that combines my love of yarn, my love of crochet and my love of Harry Potter! Now, a few points toContinue reading “tornado warnings, tacos and gratitute.”
new vendor.
After a few days of resting and restoring my physical and mental status I’m finally ready to share about our experience as new vendors. Last Sunday 8/8/21 we had a tent for the first time to sell our talents at the latest Lunar Faire NJ. If you haven’t heard about this AMAZING night market, WHEREContinue reading “new vendor.”
just kidding.
Remember when I was taking a day off on Sunday? I was just kidding, I didn’t. Shockingly (sarcasm) my brain screwed up my entire time table and I had a ton of stuff to do. Oh well! I haven’t written much lately even though there’s been a bunch going on. Allow me to sing youContinue reading “just kidding.”
mom is closed.
Arriving home from a week away is almost as hectic as trying to leave. There’s the unpacking, the laundry, the vacuuming… you get it. The alarm went off at 7 am and I hopped to it. Took 5 min listening to the ocean before I started running like a mad woman. Cleaned and sanitized theContinue reading “mom is closed.”
vacation prep.
Getting ready for a family vacation takes a ton of work. It’s almost like the universe wants to REALLY make sure you appreciate your trip because you had to work so damned hard to get ready for it. Work never fails to explode the week you’re trying to tie up all your loose ends andContinue reading “vacation prep.”
brain train.
I believe the correct term for this is “racing thoughts” but in the wee hours of the morning I think of it as the brain train that I can’t seem to catch. Anxiety takes many forms and one of mine is racing thoughts that don’t even get finished before the next one starts. Picture standingContinue reading “brain train.”

Summer vacation is here and we are in that transition period between the end of school and the start of the summer activities we planned for the kids. My daughter started her rec program already but my boys are home until Friday when their ESY program starts so its been a little… um… hectic. StartedContinue reading “summer break, pt. 1”
