Why can’t I blog?
Blogs. Blogging. Blogger. Savoring Life's Moments has been my blog for a couple years now. My interest and desire in sharing stories, ideas, thoughts and opinions have not lessened since I began. However, the frequency in which I post has damn near diminished. Honestly, I want to blog and I regularly think about all the… Continue reading Why can’t I blog?
A Year of Wine
Over the last year I have taken on the exciting challenge of learning all about wine. Not to be confused with learning to whine or practicing my ability to whine. Although, I must confess; there were times that I did whine before, during and after consuming wine. Wine. Oh yes, wine, wine, wine. One of… Continue reading A Year of Wine
Stirrin’ Up Some Trouble
Last Sunday was a day spent in the kitchen making memories. Taylor and I made multiple batches of cupcakes and frosting from scratch. We love cooking, baking and tasting everything we make! New recipes are our favorite way to connect. Plus when we bake we love to freeze some of our goodies for a lazy… Continue reading Stirrin’ Up Some Trouble
Sounds like someone I know…
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…
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
Number One Enemy
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
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
Me, Myself & I
Me - Myself - I My companions Always Us Even in a crowd We are one. via Daily Prompt: Solitary
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
Unobtainable
Perfectionism My curse Unrealistic expectations Subconsciously set Always failing Impossible to achieve I am Substandard. via Daily Prompt: Substandard
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
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
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
