Parenthood, Then and Now

I sometimes sit and think about how different parenting is now versus when my parents raised me. Sometimes, I wonder if it’s harder now or before. Now, there’s a lot more at your fingertips, thanks to the internet, but I feel like there are so many rules too! I’m someone who loves to read andContinue reading “Parenthood, Then and Now”

Romances

So one of my hobbies is reading. These days, I mainly read romances since I use books as a way to escape the stress and drama in life – and I want a happy ending damn it! It’s hard for me to find authors though that have characters that won’t annoy me. I want aContinue reading “Romances”

Baking Brownies

So I got tired of baking and eating cookies and decided to attempt brownies. I was between two recipes, but then decided to go with Brooke’s Best Bombshell Brownies. I also found this recipe for brownie frosting to try. Result? Could be better, though I don’t think it’s due to any fault of the recipe.Continue reading “Baking Brownies”

Why I don’t use a Mac

So things are a little better now, but the only reason I don’t use a Mac is because of Microsoft Office. The usability just isn’t the same on a Mac, and there are some defaults in a Windows machine that make more sense. For example, a couple of years ago, we found out that OfficeContinue reading “Why I don’t use a Mac”

Unconventional Relationship

Sometimes I like to reflect on my relationship with the mister – we’ve been together over a dozen years now. I love our relationship, and I think it’s because we go against a lot of what society says should be. I look at a lot of other relationships where (at least from the outside lookingContinue reading “Unconventional Relationship”

Random Home/Car Maintenance and Cleaning Tips

So the more I “adult”, the more I learn. Decided to do a quick post on things I never knew until later in life, but definitely would’ve been nice to know once I was on my own. Flush your toilets at least once every two weeks, otherwise this weird black mold could grow and it’sContinue reading “Random Home/Car Maintenance and Cleaning Tips”

Introvert versus Extrovert Family Texts

So, while my immediate family and I are all introverts, the exact opposite is the case with my hubs and the in-laws. It is definitely interesting to see the differences and interactions in each family. This is especially noticeable via texts, since we try to send the same ones to both families when it involvesContinue reading “Introvert versus Extrovert Family Texts”

The Therapy Paradox

You know what I realized recently while dealing with my postpartum depression/anxiety? The paradox of having to find a therapist when you need it, but not having the mental strength to find one when you need it. In those first two to three months postpartum, I was a hot mess. Sleep deprived. Exhausted. Feeling inept.Continue reading “The Therapy Paradox”

Let there be light (with the ceiling fan)!

So baby Goober has reached the point where he can climb out of his crib…even with his mattress lowered all the way to the ground. We’ve temporarily stopped him by putting him in a sleepsack, but this isn’t a baby post – it’s a DIY post! Since we think it’s only a matter of timeContinue reading “Let there be light (with the ceiling fan)!”

Tell me you’re a mom without saying you’re a mom

I’m part of a few mom groups on social media, and one of them posted something that I found amusing – and any of you mothers out there would probably agree. The post said “Tell me you’re a mom without saying you’re a mom”. Here are some of my favorites: I have these little roommatesContinue reading “Tell me you’re a mom without saying you’re a mom”
