What we must remember 19 years later.

Posted on September 11, 2020September 11, 2020 by dance0015

Like many, I still remember 9.11.01.  Every feeling, every moment. Probably better than the births of my children or my wedding day.  The uncertainty, the fear, the void, the sadness, the anger we all felt brought us together.  I was raised by a patriotic family.  I knew the sacrifices of my grandfather, cousin, and stepfather…

Today Was the Day I Broke

Posted on April 9, 2020April 9, 2020 by dance0015

Today was the day I broke.  I’ve tried to reset my mindset through this whole quarantine, stay at home experience but today… well today nothing worked.  The kids were awful. I’m talking temper tantrums, cuss words, holes in the walls, paint spilled, things broken…and that was just the kids.  It was the worst behavior I’ve…

My Hope For the New Normal

Posted on March 21, 2020March 21, 2020 by dance0015

The new normal for most of us consists of a lot of stress and unknowns.  We are lonely without our usual interaction, stressed about having our children ALL. DAY. EVERY. DAY. and many of us are trying to provide them with some learning.  Trips to the grocery store are even more stressful. We are concerned…

The Hardest Part of My Anxiety…

Posted on March 11, 2020March 11, 2020 by dance0015

  Looking back I’ve probably had anxiety most of my life. I was very shy until high school and even then, pretty reserved.  I’ve never felt comfortable in social situations and have always second-guessed my words and decisions. This has made for some emotional times.  Roller coaster periods of depression and anxiety, and my behavior through…

Instacart Changed and Saved My Life Today!

Posted on January 31, 2020January 31, 2020 by dance0015

So I’m sick. Trying not to admit it, but we are here. It’s Friday, we need food, of course hubby is on shift and the big kids will be home in 2 hours. I send a text of desperation to my friend, “man I really wish they delivered ice cream!” It hit me- why not…

Meatloaf Means Home

Posted on January 28, 2020January 28, 2020 by dance0015

Last night I made meatloaf.  And yes, I’m writing a post about it.  Here’s why- to me, meatloaf is home. The women in my family (with the exception of my aunt) aren’t exactly creative in the kitchen.  I’m pretty sure the only dish my grandmother could make (and burn) was meatloaf. Thank goodness my mom…

Why Kobe is on my Mind…

Posted on January 27, 2020January 27, 2020 by dance0015

I’m probably the last person you would imagine to be struggling with the death of Kobe today.  Let alone the last person to write about it. Honestly, I’m surprised myself. So why is this white, rural living, mom so distraught? This will probably be a long one, but I hope you stick with me to…

For someone who needs everything planned ahead of time and hates the unexpected… planners are life. I researched for a new planner that could help me organize both home life, family commitments and my work from home tasks and I think I found it! Cue the Passion Planner. I have noticed that in order to…

The Power of Proud (and my challenge to you)

Posted on January 25, 2020January 25, 2020 by dance0015

“I’m proud of you.”  Four simple words that pack a powerful punch.  We grew up yearning for these words and when we received them, from a parent, teacher, mentor, our world felt bigger, we felt we had a place, we felt validated.  Something happens as we become adults. We hear those words less often and…

Newsflash! I found another grocery app!

Posted on January 8, 2020January 8, 2020 by dance0015

I’m not sure if I’ve been living under a rock for a few months or what, but one of my favorite coupon sites is now an APP where you can get grocery cash back! Coupons.com has always been a favorite place to print my coupons from, but now you can do everything from your phone,…
