Tough Week
I had every intention of posting something last Monday. I’ve been working on a few ideas of what to write about and thought I was ready for one of them. But. Inauguration day killed any enthusiasm. Then there was a flurry of executive orders. Full of drama and flourish. Most without power, but still charting…

Winter Disruption
It doesn’t take much news to see that winter weather in the United States has been havoc over the last few weeks. Severe cold and huge snowfall amounts contrasting with fires in LA and extreme drought. I’ve been in the middle of some of it. We flew to Salt Lake City for the holidays. As…

Joy
Heads up! We’re traveling over the next 2 weeks, like so many others, for the holidays. So see you in 2025! The joy of Christmas brings on a completely new feeling as a parent watching your kid experience it. James was born on Dec 21st so, technically, this is his 3rd Christmas, but he was…

Peace
A stillness. Absence of conflict, violence, and/or anxiety. Lack of persecution. Quietness. Freedom from fear. During the holiday season, peace can feel so far away. With crowded calendars, and important deadlines, the few weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas can feel anything, but peaceful. There is a hustle and bustle to this season that doesn’t exist…

Hope
As I sit here today, my son and my husband, Matt, are both napping. The stomach flu came raging through this week and both of them ended up with it. Not sure how I escaped, maybe I’ve just had more recent exposure through my work in the schools? That being said. It’s been a wild…

Whoa… It’s December?
Blink and you’ll miss it. That’s how November felt to me. Between the uptick in additional responsibilities with our HOA, the emotional weight of the US election outcomes, and having my parents visiting us for Thanksgiving, I feel like November was the fastest month so far this year! So welcome to December my friends. If…

Thank you
As I said last week, I’ve been writing here for on full year. Although I’ve taken breaks here and there, I am so thrilled to have reached this milestone! For those of you I know and speak to regularly, thank you for all of your encouragement. I wouldn’t still be doing this without you. To…

Both…And
The last week has been a roller coaster of emotions for most of us. I realize I’m coming to you a day late. I could say that it is because Monday was a holiday. But that would be a lie. My best friend from college came to visit over the weekend. It was a great…

Happy November
I’m sitting here thinking. How? How can it be November already? The end of October flew by. I did not get as much rest and recovery as I wanted, but taking blogging off my plate did allow me to better handle the craziness that came my way. If you are reading this on release day,…

Happy Fall
Hello all, I’d probably struggle to choose a favorite season, but the longer I live in Kansas the more I’ve grown to love fall. In Kansas, fall is when the oppressive heat and humidity of summer disappear. Chiggers no longer threaten me for daring to step on the lawn. For me, that makes being outdoors…
