To my Nan, This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, but I’ve learned recently that the best way for me to cope, grieve and relieve stress is through writing it down. I guess I just wanted to sit and reflect on all of the things you’ve done and taught me… Continue reading To my Nan
This past weekend was pretty darn near perfect. It started with a few beers at Bottled & Tapped where Ron and I sat outside under an umbrella, splitting drinks and watching the kids blow bubbles and eat popcorn from the machine inside. We stayed later than planned (oh well!) and ended up grabbing food to-go… Continue reading Summer weekends
I think 3-day weekends are the perfect amount of time off (although I’m sure once I had them regularly, I could argue for more!). It gives you a day for chores/errands/boring stuff, a day for fun stuff/sports/going out, and a day to be a hermit on your couch with yummy snacks and a movie (or… Continue reading LDW Recap
Hello again, it’s been a while. Each time I start writing again, I feel guilty for stopping, but it’s like I can only write when I have the need and desire to. Trying to write without them would leave you reading a very boring post. Anywho, here we are! Today is Eclipse Day, AKA I-closed-all-the-blinds-and-I’m-not-leaving-the-house-day.… Continue reading Haven’t we been here before?
I had to take a moment here, just really quick, to acknowledge my amazing sister-in-law, Jen. In addition to working full-time (many times over-time!) nurse in the ER, she completed her BSN and is GRADUATING today! I wish we could be in Wilmington for her pinning ceremony, but I am just so excited for you!… Continue reading Proud!
I turned 29 last Saturday. Man, where has the time gone? I was just 23, was I not? We just got married, just had a baby, just had another. Blink and you’re 29 with a 3 and 2 year old and feel a bit like life gave you whiplash. The older I get the more… Continue reading 29!
Last weekend contained a perfect amount of rest & play. Somehow our weekends are usually heavily swayed in one direction, but this time I felt like I had plenty of time to lay on the couch (which I needed on Saturday!) and spend time with family and friends AND cross an annoying To-Do off my… Continue reading Weekend Recap
This past weekend we had a family party at my in-law’s house, otherwise known as Mimi and Peepop. As I displayed on my attitude of gratitude post Sunday, my father-in-law is known for his abundance of kitchen gadgets, and I always know he and Mimi will mix me up something delicious or open a bottle… Continue reading Smoking (Cocktail) Gun
Have you ever been “iced?” Years ago (pre-wedding, pre-baby, so when I had a life!), Ron and our friend Anthony had an epic Smirnoff Ice battle going on. If you’re unfamiliar with the game (if that’s what you’d call it), you hide a bottle of Smirnoff Ice (you know, that super sugary drink you used… Continue reading Bro-posal
Working from home means I don’t always leave my house during the day. I wish I could say I took daily walks outside (I always mean to), but I don’t. Sometimes I get out for a run before my husband leaves for work, but it’s barely light out at that time, and it doesn’t have… Continue reading Summer nights in February
