December was a very emotional month, full of equal parts joy and sadness. There was a lot of stuff going on that resulted in a lot of stress, upset, etc. in my world. So I felt a bit like I was balanced on a razor’s edge throughout the holidays. But, there was definitely a […]

How in the world is it November? October is always a crazy busy month for us, but damn! And today it actually feels like Fall outside. Back in September, we had a few Fallish days, but mostly it was still pretty warm. It was still in the 90s and I was seeing tons of Instagram […]

This summer is just zooming by like nobody’s business. Frankly, July was a rough month. Started out fine but then it took a nosedive. My crazy work schedule took over again and a lot of late nights left me feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Near the end of the month I made some adjustments in my […]
