Bloggers are always posting aspirational lists of how to make your life better, healthier, calmer, prettier, etc. I know this because I post these list as well. That said, I think it’s important to acknowledge that no one is perfect. You only see a brief glimpse into peoples’ lives...

Hello and happy week 9! Sunday, aka Mother’s Day, had gorgeous weather so we got outside to do some work. We stained the railings on our deck’s stairwell. Those didn’t get stained with the rest of the deck last year because we had to replace the wood and by...

Hello! I hope you survived week 8 gracefully. Here in Maryland, the government is working on the first phase of opening society up. That said, Austin and I have no plans of freely roaming about the world anytime soon. Additionally, the company I work for is not rushing in...

This is the first journaling post that I’m writing in real time. As I’m typing this sentence it’s March 28th, the first day of week 3 of Coronacation. So far this morning I’ve finished season 4 of Drag Race, emptied the dish washer, and signed up for a wine...
