Aaaanndddd we’re back! For another lookback to a month in quarantine. Has anyone else felt like time has slowed down incredibly? Some days I feel so lucky to have this time to do the things I used to always find myself wishing I had more time for. And other days seem to pass by and … More 5.12.20 A Lookback to April
Checking back in for Dewey Demo Day #2! We got up bright and early on this beautiful Saturday and waited until it was neighborly-acceptable to start pounding on metal again (10am, in case you didn’t know) and worked until the sun went down. Time sure does fly when you’re tearing a trailer apart and solving … More 1.4.20 Dewey Demo Day #2
Super late…but not forgotten! Here is September’s Lookback List, comin’ in hot! SEPTEMBER, IN REVIEW: READING: This month I actually finished two very different, but equally fantastic novels. The first, which has jumped pretty high on my ‘favorites’ list is called Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese. It is a work of fiction that takes … More 10.15 September in Review
August is officially over and with it, it’s taken the last of our cool summer days! We are officially in the “dog days of summer” it seems, where we sometimes go sit in our cars just to feel a little bit of air conditioning in the middle of the day or take sleepy afternoon naps … More 9.2 August’s Lookback
Well, it’s a whole month late but I am finally sitting down to write February’s Lookback … the months of February and March have almost been a blur amidst a crazy-insane work schedule that have included extra long days and lots of weekend shifts. And any time not spent working, I’ve tried to fill up with … More 3.26 An Extremely Late February Lookback
January is always one of my favorite months of the year because I love jumping back into that “normal life” schedule again after the holidays, and as much as people love to complain about “New Years Resolutioners”…I love to hear about peoples’ hopes and dreams and goals for the new year! This year, aside from … More 2.2.19 January in Review
While this post is long long lonngggg overdue (I blame it on the holidays!), today I’m sharing details about our parents’ visit over the Thanksgiving holiday! This was the first time since living here that both of our parents came out at the same time — and my dad’s first trip out here since I … More 1.9 Our Parents Week Recap
I don’t know about you guys, but January felt like it was about ninety days long to me! I think it always feels like the longest month of the year because we’re coming off of so many holiday celebrations with friends and family, and that first week back to work feels like 15 days in … More 2.2 January in Review
November 1st is here!! Let’s look back on the month of October … OCTOBER’S MONTHLY LOOKBACK LIST READING: So I have totally slacked on my “Book A Month” challenge this month, guys. I know, I’m disappointed in myself too! It’s not that I haven’t read at ALL this month, it’s just that I haven’t made … More 11.1 October’s Monthly Lookback
I grew up with two older brothers, and they are absolutely my two best friends in the entire world. In fact, rarely does a day go by where I don’t hear from either of them. And it’s not always just a goofy text message or a picture of our pets, but I get real person-to-person … More 8.27.17 A Post on Sisterhood & Gratitude
