I've been writing for a while now. Several years, in fact. Part of that time, I was writing for my degree, but let's be honest: a ton of that writing came from a deeply personal place (not the technical writing, though. How personal can that be? It can't be. Trust me). I've written about a … Continue reading On getting it together….
On that lovin’ feeling…
Wear what makes you feel fabulous. Wear it today. There's no reason not to!
On lighting the fire….
Okay, so I'm fairly good at cooking. It's taken some time to learn my way around a kitchen in a non-baking capacity, but I've figured it out enough to convince myself that I can actually cook really good food. But from time to time, I have a Fail. Not just a Fail, but a full … Continue reading On lighting the fire….
On becoming a caretaker….
Having a baby, it turns out, is mind-numbingly exhausting. And while I'm one for routine, it's getting pretty monotonous. I'm looking forward to the day my little monster is able to play with me and make messes and generally screw with my routine. Mostly, I'm tired of all the sitting. That's kind of the bummer … Continue reading On becoming a caretaker….
On being older than I feel….
I seem to be in a constant state of feeling young v. feeling old. Really old. While I typically feel pretty good about my age, my body, my emotions, my general state of being, sometimes I just plain feel old. Like when I think about how I'll be 34 years old when I have my … Continue reading On being older than I feel….
On fighting with the family…
And so begins the holiday season! The leaves are changing and the weather is definitely getting colder and gloomier. For the east coast, this happens much later than I'm used to. In Colorado, if it hasn't snowed by the time we're donning our Halloween costumes, we start screaming about heat waves! And then Mother Nature … Continue reading On fighting with the family…
On unexpectedly falling in love….
I was asked the other day how I've felt about my body since I got pregnant. It was a hard question to think of an answer to, at least initially. I don't know a lot of women that like talking about their body image, regardless of if it's good or bad. In a matter of … Continue reading On unexpectedly falling in love….
On sticking around….
I wish I could say I'm a master of some sort of something. I'm not. I'm the epitome of "jack of all trades, master of none." I can bake, cook, do makeup and hair, write, sing, dance, play piano, plan the crap out of weddings and events, and sell cheese. Just to name a few. … Continue reading On sticking around….
On what I want to be….
There are a lot of things that I've been known to want to "be" in my nearly-35 years. In grade 6, I wanted to be a pediatric endocrinologist. I literally have no idea what that is, but I was certain I wanted to be one. I think it's a doctor for children. No clue. Probably … Continue reading On what I want to be….
On embracing new challenges….
It's National Blog Posting Month. I'd never even heard of this until I was scrolling through my Facebook feed at 5:30 this morning. I seem to find the most random information that early in the morning. Which begs the question: What interesting information will I come across during midnight baby feedings? At any rate, November … Continue reading On embracing new challenges….
