Today marks three full years since I started writing this blog. I hope/plan to have a post dedicated to it soon, but just in case (since I've slowed down on Monday posts for now), I wanted to acknowledge it here on a Friday as well. I started this blog for the accountability, but it's grown…
After too many long months, I finally got to see Felicity and Purple in person. Granted, we were all masked up and hung out outdoors off and on in the rain, but it was still in person. And that made my heart so happy. Felicity also brought the kiddo a bunch of snacks back from…
After the age that was the month of March, life slowly picked up after April and May, and June has somehow sped by. Though, in the words of Scary Mommy, this new pandemic phase is more stressful than lockdown in many ways. It's finally summer, and the weather is beginning to look like it as…
I spent last weekend completely off social media, and 95% offline, including archiving my Women's Personal Finance Facebook group from Friday afternoon to Monday morning (meaning the group was still "there" but frozen to new posts/comments/etc until I reopened it). I've been pretty overwhelmed lately, and the weekend felt like a really important reset, and…
What do you know. It's Friday again. And I'm tired. I will be archiving my Women's Personal Finance group on Facebook for the weekend and taking a much-needed offline break for a couple of days. I don't have much else to say this week. Life continues to march on, most of my work is done…
I'm tired this week. I'm certain you all are as well, so I'll be keeping this short. Things are definitely in turmoil right now, but I do have some hope that we may see real, lasting change for it. If that's true, then it will be all worth it. It’s been a rough time as…
And with that, we're done with the last full week of May. The days absolutely aren't normal, but they seem to be moving along at a much faster clip now. On a whim, we took a day trip out to Sequim over the weekend. Really, the fact that we could decide impulsively to take a…
May has been speeding by. March felt like it was at least three years long, and April was only a bit faster. It must be that we've been in this weird stasis for long enough now, but the days seem to be going by in hyper speed now. Memorial Day weekend completely caught me off…
Last weekend was Mother's Day, and a wonderful couple of days. Prior years, the holiday hasn't been my favorite, with too high expectations that never end up coming to fruition. This year, quarantine and all, somehow ended up being the best one I've ever had. I started out the weekend with a trip to the…
It's funny how fast time seems to be going these days after the drag of how long March lasted. While things are definitely still quite difficult, the days are moving by at a much more rapid clip. Have you noticed this as well? Strange, for sure. Thought it still is hard to believe it's been…
