Fun announcement to make today! I've joined a rad crew of local blogging mamas and will be contributing to the Cedar Rapids Moms Blog for the foreseeable future 🙂 I've been looking for ways to connect to my community, get out, and make new friends - so when I saw a call for new contributors … Continue reading New Gig = More Content?
Lessons in adulting… from my cat
I know I still haven't done this whole "consistent blogging" thing, but let me tell you - this winter has been a BITCH on my mental health. I'm sure I'm not the only one. While we wait for my adulty and/or creative juices to get fired up, let's enjoy this message from Ernie, my cat. … Continue reading Lessons in adulting… from my cat
A new space for a new year!

Real talk: 2018 chewed me up and spit me out. It was great and hard and fun and miserable... it was a beautiful mess that I am so grateful for. But I'm ready for shit to settle down now. Please and thank you. As part of the settling, I've decided to not only dust off … Continue reading A new space for a new year!
Welcome back!

Aloha! Ahoy there! Hallo! Hola! Hi friends, and welcome back. Apologies for the unannounced hiatus, but do you have any idea how much work it is to simultaneously fix up a house for sale, get it listed, and accommodate last-minute showings while still meeting all the deadlines on your new build? We definitely underestimated the … Continue reading Welcome back!
Please stand by

I swear I'm not giving up on this space. I have so many ideas and so much drive to make them come to life, but my life is kind of a shit show right now. My ambition in starting this blog at the time I did was probably a little overly zealous. Please stand by … Continue reading Please stand by

Must be move on the brain

I continue feeling the need to apologize for my totally-not-scheduled blogging schedule, but that's also kind of one of the things I'm working toward with this whole "adulting" endeavor. Soooo I should probably stop over-apologizing about that one, yeah? Today I wanted to pop in with the random things that are floating around my brain-space … Continue reading Must be move on the brain
Sooo…WE ARE BUILDING A HOUSE!

Can a couple Millennials even afford to build a house? Damn straight, we can!
#Goals on Goals on Goals

Let's talk about some goals I've been setting; both blog-related and personal. If you know anything about SMART goal-setting, you'll realize that these are pretty terrible goals. They meet practically none of the criteria of a SMART goal. Buuuut pretty much everything in my life is hazy right now, so it's just par for the course. This adulting thing is hard, man.
When you’re almost 30 and you’re still not adulty enough, you blog.

Hi there, and welcome to this experiment in commitment, to which I have chosen to subject myself. I do hope you find something of interest here. To get started, let me ask: Are you a legal adult who is still trying to figure out how the hell everyone else seems to have their shit together … Continue reading When you’re almost 30 and you’re still not adulty enough, you blog.
