If you’ve been following my life lately, you know I’ve had some time on my hands. And while I enjoy working (and getting paid!), I am trying to make the most of my down time by getting some tasks around the house done. From closet and drawer organization, to setting up service and maintenance appointments […]
My Resolution: Go Easier on Myself
Ah, it’s the New Year. Time for all those resolutions, right? Two weeks in and I’m feeling mildly inadequate in regards to my efforts to start the New Year off right. Perhaps the lack of work due to the government shutdown has pushed me a bit too far into laziness. Don’t get me wrong, I […]
Taking the Pressure (to Blog) Off Myself
When I originally started this blog, I was in a weird place. I was a new mom, trying to navigate working a full-time job while also taking care of my then one-year-old son. I was feeling stifled at work and was just generally unhappy professionally. I figured that a blog might be a good way […]
A Sad Day in Annapolis
I wrote the below thoughts on Friday, June 29, 2018. It has taken me this long to post them, simply because I haven’t wanted to believe that something like this could happen here. But, in fact, it did. And sadly, I have mostly avoided that area since (I have now driven by there once). Not […]
An Overdue Update
Life has been hectic lately… Not hectic in the way it used to be, when I was commuting 3 hours a day. Those days are gone and a new level of hectic has emerged. All those little things that I wasn’t getting done now seem to have become more important. I put more pressure on […]
When an Old Friend Became a Mom…
I saw an old friend recently. We talked about life, work, and parenting during our brief encounter, and I realized something… I don’t like her as much as I used to. Over the past few years, we have both become mothers. And I find that, the more times I see her, the less I like […]
What I’m Loving – February 4, 2018
Well, this was supposed to be a post on what products I liked that I came across in January. It is still that, but just being offered up for your information in February. What can I say? Any resolutions I made to get on the ball about these types of things have fallen to the […]

An Imperfect Birth Story
It happened again the other day. I was in a conversation with two women who had both delivered their children vaginally, and as soon as the conversation steered itself into birth stories, and I shared just a little piece of mine, I was strategically steered out of the conversation. I felt like the third wheel […]
An Imperfect Christmas Eve
December 19, 2017: Less than a week before Christmas and our house has devolved into a new level of chaos. With relatives coming in soon, I am resigned to the fact that this is what they will be welcomed with – counters that can’t be seen, toys in oddly out-of-place places, and bag after bag […]
