Do you ever feel like you have unrealistic expectations? That you hold others to too high of a standard. That your timelines are just too tight for what others can do? That you have a sense of urgency that no one else seems to feel? I know I talked yesterday about analysis paralysis and how…

I’ve noticed this weekend that a lot of my friends are in a tough place. The extensions of the shelter in place/stay at home/lockdown for their respective states are really starting to wear on them. There is a lot to do, and with so many things to get done, it is difficult to pick a…

Anyone else out there suffer from analysis paralysis? I definitely do. The more options, the worst everything gets for me. I have always tended to do a quick cull of options down to three, and from there I can do a more in-depth review and make a final decision. I have found that I am…

Today’s devotion was on the small things. The author quoted James 2:27: “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” Yesterday, Squatch, Little Man, and I loaded up in the car and made the 5 hour drive north. As we drove, we chatted and sang songs, Little Man moo-ed at all the cows he could…

Squatch is coming to get us today! It has been 7 weeks since Little Man and I left with my MIL to come down to Illinois. He’s on his way now; we will see him after naptime. Also, I did a thing, and did a FaceBook live today, showing y’all how to make my beer…

I’ve been thinking about starting a side gig for a while.

Then we moved, and it took Squatch a few months to find…

It’s Earth Day today. I’ve seen a ton of people online sharing how they are “doing their part” for the earth and recycling, or cleaning up some trash they see on the roads/sidewalks in their neighbourhoods. I know, it makes them feel like they are doing some good, but I just don’t feel it. We…

So, I mentioned in an earlier post this month that I’m still working on Social Awareness on my Emotional Intelligence Journey. This month, I’m working on the strategy of “Live in the Moment;” “[i]f you catch yourself being somewhere else mentally, refocus and return to the present. Look at the people around you and listen…

When I decided WAAAAY back when that I wanted to stay home with Little Man, I immediately knew that I would need a routine or schedule for our days. I am a creature of routine and habit, and knew that if I did not keep up with one, I would not be a happy camper.…

So, I realized that now is the time to start planning for the future. No, really. After watching how people reacted when COVID-19 first came to the forefront: panic buying all the Clorox, Lysol, Paper Towels, Toilet Paper, stores limiting the amount of bread, meat, and dairy products you can purchase, etc., I started thinking…
