What’s your favorite meme? The old school OG hater memes. Being a hater is bad for your mental health. Obviously. The research is ongoing, but the evidence is pretty strong. 🙃 Continue reading

Who are you most inspired by? I’m inspired by mature women who understand that life isn’t always about them. The ones who put their children first and make sacrifices that often go unnoticed. My mother said that all the time… Continue reading

The World is Not Gonna Wait on You.
We had a sweet Father’s Day. Gary worked most of it, but we were expecting that, so no big deal. I got up early and called Alan and then we spent another day chasing the sun. I was devastated to… Continue reading

What’s a common misconception people have about happiness? First off, I love this question. The biggest misconception about happiness is that it’s waiting for you somewhere. On the other side of the weight loss. The paid-off debt. The healed grief.… Continue reading

Saturday Storms
Well, today has been the weirdest. The sun was out for a while and then the storms rolled in. It’s done that often and all all day. I got to get in the pool and swim for a little while… Continue reading

Early night!
I am so ready for bed. Today has been a very good day. We’ve had some pretty serious storms roll through but it was kind of relaxing. I love that kind of weather, in small doses, of course. We also… Continue reading

What is one way you have grown this year? Hmm. Probably learning to drown out the noise and live my life the way I want to live it. People are really good at pretending they’re flourishing online, but I’m far… Continue reading

Whoops,hi :)
I keep forgetting about my blog and I’ve pretty much abandoned doing the prompts. I’ve gotten really into Substack this year and it’s kind of become my place to write. ✍🏼 I wish I could combine them, but I don’t… Continue reading

🇺🇸
The boys are target practicing at Eglin base tonight. It shook the whole house a few times. That’s the sound of freedom! It’s awesome that we live in a narrow space between the largest land range and the largest water… Continue reading

Always Learning
I used to measure my days by what I got done. Crossed off, checked off, got clean. My worth lived in the output. Then my back decided it had other plans, and for a long stretch, doing anything wasn’t really… Continue reading

Imperfect Pieces
Today, I was sketching something out and prematurely added a little paint to it thinking I was going into a direction I liked- when realized that I messed the entire chair up. I am really bad about doing this. I’m… Continue reading

My Favorite Fish 🐟
I made Gary a little Father’s Day card. It’s cute and quirky. Gage and Harper both made him Father’s Day cards when they were really little- I think they were probably 3 and 4, and they drew fish all over… Continue reading

Watercolor Painting
I’m back to my summer water coloring. Today I painted this sweet little 6×9 watercolor card. I love this watercolor pad because the paper has so much texture. It’s a dream. I know everybody’s preference is different but I like… Continue reading

Beach Dates 🏖️
Well, we had a very nice morning! We drove down to the beach pretty early this morning, not early enough to catch the sunrise or anything, but we got there about 8:25. We spent a few hours and then packed… Continue reading

Smile!
My left vs. right nasolabial fold (smile line) is crazy. It’s also really red because I had dermaplaning yesterday. It doesn’t affect lines, I just get it done because I’m super hairy lol But yeah, it’s real red from irritation… Continue reading

Ipsy Extra June Box
Ok, its my favorite yet! It’s so worth the “extra” to get the full size products. There’s an extra product this month too bc I purchased the Ordinary sunscreen serum as an add-on. It was marked down and cheaper than… Continue reading

I have the best friends. My sweet friend Amy sent me this hat. She’s an Ella fan too. I wore it to the kids dentist appointment today. Continue reading

Love it!
I think it looks really good. We moved our drink refrigerator next to it, to get it out of my dining room room. Now the kitchen just kind of flows into the office naturally. It gives storage but it serves… Continue reading

Louise Carter
My Louise Carter box came in and I am absolutely smitten with everything I got. I can’t believe you can get seven pieces for $85. That’s ridiculously inexpensive, but if it really does hold up in saltwater, I’m gonna be… Continue reading

Summer Blues
Happy Monday. I woke up to dishes clanking and feet pattering. I was sleeping really hard this morning, and I slept until almost 10:30. I just laid there and imagined what everyone was doing by their sounds. I knew Norah… Continue reading
