The gift of giving

I can’t believe it’s already been two weeks since I mentioned that I had found the place to do my summer intern for school! If you’d like a refresher on what Women Helping Women/Men2Work does, or for those of you stopping by for the first time, you can click here and find my previous post which details all about… Continue reading The gift of giving

Is this a taboo parent thought?

I’ve never shared this thought with anyone and in fact just today finally had the courage to voice it out loud to my husband, which gave me the confidence to share it on here… I feel though like I should first disclose that I absolutely LOVE and feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to be… Continue reading Is this a taboo parent thought?

The smell of burning rubber can’t be good

I am officially a mom, I’m driving around in a Mini Van. Correction, I am actually driving around in my brother’s Mini Van. This past Sunday we celebrated my niece’s birthday party, her first step into double digits. They live in Anaheim (we live in Santa Ana) so the plan was to meet up at… Continue reading The smell of burning rubber can’t be good

What’s in a dream?

I’ve had such a terrible tummy ache since yesterday evening. My husband made us a really good dinner so I don’t know if it was triggered by something I ate or if it’s my nerves. I figured out a few years ago that when I’m really anxious/nervous/stressed or something has upset me tremendously it goes… Continue reading What’s in a dream?

Closing May

May is ending on a wonderful note. I could probably break this down into two separate posts but I’m so eager to talk about both things that I’m squeezing it all in one. Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary! I know it may sound so cheesy but I truly feel so blessed by the wonderful… Continue reading Closing May

Idyllwild – Pine Cove

I started to write this post during one of my many moments of rest during our family getaway to Idyllwild. We’re back home now and pretty much settled in and I thought I would share some of our pictures and finish the thoughts I started… Today is our third day in Idyllwild and it has been such… Continue reading Idyllwild – Pine Cove

Time for a family getaway

I really shouldn’t be blogging at this hour. Actually I should have been in bed an hour ago, but I’m too excited (thus way alert) to fall asleep just yet anyway. I know my limitations though so I won’t make this too long. Tomorrow my husband, daughter, and our bulldog Biggie are off on a… Continue reading Time for a family getaway

In walked relief (and gratefulness)

I feel like a new woman! I’ve been absent from here for so long but I can almost safely say that not a day went by that I didn’t think about posting, but I just could not find the time to write a proper post without worrying about the time I was losing to studying/reading… Continue reading In walked relief (and gratefulness)

Be Thankful

I’ve missed writing and I wish I could say more right now but I’m so exhausted at the moment that all I can think of is rest. Just wanted to say I’m thankful for the ability to feel this exhaustion and where I am at this moment and that I’ll be falling asleep soon.

We Regret To Inform You

We regret to inform you…Those are five difficult words to read and digest, and I’ll be honest, it was a bummer to read those five words when I finally received the long awaited email from the Sociology Honors Program at Cal State Long Beach. A little less than a month ago I had decided, after receiving a few emails reminders from the Sociology… Continue reading We Regret To Inform You
