As I was walking toward home today after having come back from a work “farewell” get together, I was reminded of all the little things in my life that add up to such amazing blessings. Sometimes it’s so easy to dwell on the mundane day to day things that keep our life busy, and to… Continue reading All the little things that add up to amazing
I grew up in a household where my mom did everything. She cooked, cleaned, organized, managed the finances, kept the house stocked with the day to day things that we needed, and many more small and big things that would be too much to list here. Although my mom also worked, my dad was the… Continue reading Traditional Mom or Liberated Woman?
My husband introduced me to one of my favorite hobbies: camping and hiking. When we first started dating we went on several hikes and in each one I was in awe of the beauty around us. If memory serves me well, I think my first camping trip was when my husband took me to Joshua… Continue reading Upgrading the 2 Person Tent

Every once in awhile though she likes to wake up somewhere in the 4am vicinity and does so in such great spirits that you would swear it’s… Continue reading The 4:00 a.m. Mommy Alarm

What an experience these past 4 days turned out to be! When my husband told me he had booked us a cabin for our camping trip, this is what I envisioned in my mind Not so much all the nice furniture, but definitely along the lines of electricity, heating system, and although I didn’t go… Continue reading Lights Out!
We are going camping this weekend!!! Can you tell I’m excited? I had never been camping until I met my husband, and I do mean the sleep in a tent and bundle up in your sleeping bag camping kind of thing. I remember the first time my husband took me camping to Joshua Tree National… Continue reading One with Nature
I think I had an out of body experience the other day, or at least as close to what one can have while fully awake and alert to everything happening around you at that specific moment. It had been a busy and productive day at work and as I was driving back home I was… Continue reading And then I said “you go girl!”
