The Bullet Journal
It has happened. I am Bullet Journalling. For those of you who have not yet heard about this fad let me explain. It is basically a single notebook that is a notebook, planner and to do list all in one. It contains - EVERYTHING, well everything you decide to put in it. It is personalizable so that… Continue reading The Bullet Journal

Taylor is in her third year of Girl Scouts! This year she wanted to make a higher cookie goal and crush it. I love her determination. Day one we spent 2 hours going door to door in our neighborhood.

One-Way
Life is not a one-way street. Even when it seems that way; take a moment to look for options that may not be obvious at first glance. There is no right way. There are many ways that are correct.

Boston: Architecture
Here is my final post about Boston for 2017. I hope you have enjoyed the mini series. Wow. Just Wow. Boston has some gorgeous old buildings.

Boston: The People
One thing I was really looking forward too while in Boston was hearing people talk in the stereotypical Boston accent. Silly I know, but I find it entertaining. I was quite disappointed to find that Boston has become such a melting pot that finding a true Bostonian accent is like finding a needle in a… Continue reading Boston: The People

Proud Moments via Samsung Galaxy
If you have read my post Limbo you know that I struggle with taking time out for myself. The second problem I have is that when I do take time for myself I generally do not enjoy it to the max because I feel guilty about not being present for my family. This is something I have… Continue reading Proud Moments via Samsung Galaxy
