Hello 48! In case you haven’t noticed by now, I’m not afraid to tell you my age. (Read last year’s birthday post here.) I mean, I am what I am, right? And while it’s seems a teeny bit surreal that I am getting ever closer to a new decade, I can honestly say my 40s […] Read more…
Life is too busy right now. I mean, we all say that, right? But how often do we slow down and try to do something about it? I can’t fully control all aspects of my life. Case in point, we’ve been short-staffed at the office since May (not for lack of trying, I might add – […] Read more…

Here’s the thing, it’s September which means I always have the urge to go shopping for something new. Okay, maybe a few new items. It’s almost fall … time for layers and boots and dresses and tights. All of which have nothing to do with Turkey Tuesday, except that sometimes when you have a blog, […] Read more…
First, an important announcement to make … it’s my Mom’s birthday today! 🙂 We wish we could’ve been at the farm to help her celebrate, but Joe and I already had made a commitment to volunteer at an event at church so we connected via Facetime instead. Not optimal but it works in a pinch! […] Read more…
