The last two blogs have been a little heavy. In fact, I was told by someone, who indeed believes that non-essential shopping is a productive mental health activity that they do not, in fact, shit rainbows and unicorns. That's disappointing as it would have been an...

I felt such relief writing my blog yesterday. Knowing that I am not alone in the struggle with selfish individuals, who continue to rock the boat of this quarantine situation. In a different time, I would ignore the behavior. Believing it truly isn't my business. But...

Change is hard. I get it. The adjustment to this new reality is proving to be like a psychological experiment. Some of us are going to come out of this better people and others, well, they will probably be the same or worse. It is all about your attitude along with...

Let me be clear, I am exhausted from all the socializing using proper social distancing, while celebrating Bailey's birthday. This wasn't the ideal setup, obviously, but we made it work and so did our amazing group of friends and family. I shared on Monday, that I was...

Many blogs ago, I shared that math isn't my friend. Apparently counting isn't either. I guess that goes with math, right? Do you see my issue? So, I ordered some more of my favorite Perrier. I might be a tad obsessed. It is flavored with orange and lemon. So...
