Yet, another first happened for me this week. I thought for sure I was done having these moments. I was able to go bowling!! I not only went to a bowling alley, but did this list of daunting tasks (they were seemingly impossible a year ago) without getting hurt (eg. spraining my ankle, falling down,… Continue reading Just Me & A Couple Of Balls via Samsung Galaxy

The Weekend’s A Brewin’ via Samsung Galaxy
It's Friday morning and even though it is late August it feels like Fall. Cool crisp air with a slight breeze. After a brisk walk with the dog and taking the kid to her Summer program I decided that today was a REAL coffee day - not a Keurig morning. I ground my beans into… Continue reading The Weekend’s A Brewin’ via Samsung Galaxy
Savoring Shoes via Samsung Galaxy
Tuesday night something incredible happened. Something that may not seem like much to most people. I went shopping. Shoe Shopping. Yes, I get that sounds silly, BUT 1 year and 9 months ago I was paralyzed from the waist down. I am now able to walk - albeit differently since I have limited to no feeling… Continue reading Savoring Shoes via Samsung Galaxy
Limbo
A struggle I face as a parent is a balance between time spent with my child and time spent without my child (outside of school and the workday). It is a paradox when I finally get a night off from parenting duties and all I can think about is what my daughter is doing. I… Continue reading Limbo

Getting Lippy
So I want to start by saying I am NOT affiliated with Lipsense in any way. I actually had not heard of it until two weeks ago when my friend had an online party. In case you have not heard of Lipsense it is an extremely long lasting lipstick sold by independent consultants. After I… Continue reading Getting Lippy

The Spins
Sometimes it seems as if life moves so fast that you can't catch your breath. Everything piles up - life keeps on happening. Day after day, week after week, year after year.... It passes you by. Work, chores, eat, sleep, work, family, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, work, chores, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep.... A… Continue reading The Spins
Generation Z
There are many positives to the advances in technology. However, there are some experiences that I am sad my daughter will miss out on. I am sure many parents have felt this way with their children as well with each new generation. Here is my list: Memorizing phone numbers (more than just their own) Talking… Continue reading Generation Z

Camping with Cousins via Samsung Galaxy S7
This weekend kicked off with a bang! We ditched the normal routine and headed to a family style campground. This is one of our favorite ways to get away. This time we went with my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their spunky four-year old. The girls caused plenty of trouble, as they should, with playing hide-n-seek, barbies,… Continue reading Camping with Cousins via Samsung Galaxy S7

Bundle of Nerves
Stress is so powerful. Almost as powerful as fear. It is something that has guided and controlled a large part of my life for many years. It has made me function on overdrive to relieve it. It has made me not function due to the weight of it. Stress affects many people in different ways.… Continue reading Bundle of Nerves

Beach Day in a Boot
Even though I am stuck in a boot we took a day trip to Devil's Lake state park. On our way we decided to take the Merrimac Ferry. Taylor loved it (as usual), but Shiva was not quite as sure. She watched the water as if it couldnt be trusted the whole way across. Blue… Continue reading Beach Day in a Boot
Flyin High
So I have been an adrenaline junkie for most of my life. I love living on the edge - well, more so before I had a kid...now I try to find 'safe' thrills. This weekend Wisconsin Aviation had an event where you could see an old war plane, ride in a B-17 or ride in… Continue reading Flyin High

Words that trigger songs in my head…
Sometimes when people are talking to me I hear a key word and a song will go off in my head - maybe not the full song, but a line or two. Here are a few examples: My Hero - There goes my hero, watch him as he goes... My Hero by Foo Fighters Happy… Continue reading Words that trigger songs in my head…
Experimenting with Black Raspberries
With black raspberries in season we have been trying new ways to consume all these delicious berries! This year we got our berries from a friend's house in Blue Mounds, WI. Below I have included pictures and recipes of some of our favorites. My mother-in-law makes the best black raspberry pie (with homemade crust), but… Continue reading Experimenting with Black Raspberries
The downside to working remotely – via Samsung Galaxy S7
As I sit here alone, at an upscale bar /restaurant sipping my Kinky Mango Sangria and savoring my Seasame Seared Ahi Tuni I contemplate my recent feelings of isolation. One year ago, as of August 1st I made the leap to becoming a remote employee. I was able to gain so many things; just to… Continue reading The downside to working remotely – via Samsung Galaxy S7
