That person. You know the one. Who lives in their own world. Oblivious to suffering and challenges of those around them. Much less disasters taking place in the state, nation or world-wide. A part of me is angry with them for how oblivious they are. Another part is jealous. Imagine how much stress they are… Continue reading Sounds like someone I know…

Guilty Cafe via Samsung Galaxy
With many new restaurants I try to give them a few chances before I form an opinion about them. So when a new cafe opened in Waunakee and was on the news talking about their sweets I knew I had to make it a point to visit and check it out. After three visits here… Continue reading Guilty Cafe via Samsung Galaxy
Tough Love
I am a very sympathetic person. I feel things very deeply. Even things that do not personally affect me. I can literally hurt for someone I have never met. I generally see or at least try to see both sides of each situation. I keep in mind how there are always unseen circumstances to each… Continue reading Tough Love

I am: judgmental of myself. hard on myself. critical of myself. unforgiving of myself. holding myself to unrealistic expectations. hardest on myself. my worst critic. unable to see what you see. I am my own worst enemy. via Daily Prompt: Critical
The Kid-Sense
Scarier than the Sixth-Sense... Why is it that parents are needed ONLY at the most inopportune times? My husband and I can easily be doing nothing or at least nothing of importance. However, the second either one of us needs to cook, take a call or use the restroom - BOOM - it happens. Out… Continue reading The Kid-Sense
Garden Marinara via Samsung Galaxy
Our small garden this year has been producing in spurts. We will have a handful of tomatoes one week and the next - BOOM - tomato overload. With this batch I decided to try my hand at making marinara from scratch. After spending sometime trying to peel the tomatoes (with the help of my wonderful husband)… Continue reading Garden Marinara 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
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
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
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…

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
Punctuality Pet Peeves
Punctuality is important - IMPORTANT! It is a sign of respect. It shows others that you value their time. It is something that I don't think a lot of people recognize as being more than "on time." I cannot stand when people make me wait for more than 5 or 10 minutes. Tardiness is not… Continue reading Punctuality Pet Peeves
