Warning: This is about to be a very personal post about spirituality. Hah! It’s really not much of a secret that I’ve struggled the past year or so. Post-partum depression really kicked my butt for a good part of 2014. It’s not something I talked about a lot, and some people, I’m sure, thought that …
Finding an Afterschool Routine
Leaving homework, dinner schedules, and bedtimes to chance has a tendency to create chaos and frustration during possibly the only family time of the day. Establishing a routine does not have to mean never allowing for flexibility, but it gives parents and children alike the feeling of comfort that comes from knowing what is expected. …
Wining Around the Web August 9th – Back to School
It’s time to get ready to send Tiger Boy back to school. I can’t believe he’ll be a high school sophomore this year. I have a lot of things I want to get done before the new school year starts, including finishing up the robe I began making him last year (I know, I know). …
100 Happy Days Challenge
Last night, I was checking out some of my favorite blog RSS feeds, and I came across a post over at A Beautiful Mess taking up the 100 Happy Days challenge. The idea is that for 100 days, you take a picture of something that made you happy, post it on social media, and tag it with the …
No More Pajamas and Lent
I’m going to start off by saying I’m not particularly devout. I’m a Methodist, and, well to be honest, the whole organized religion thing has always been a struggle for me – I didn’t start going to church until 2011. In fact, the first time I went to my church, it as also the first …

New Years Resolutions: January – Health
It’s that time again – time to reflect on the year past and make plans for the upcoming year. Last year, 2012, had a lot of really good things and a lot of not so good things (as many years do). Most notably, Wining Husband and I got married and walked across fire together. We …

Thanksgiving 2012
Ah the list of things I am thankful for – it’s that time of year again. I like to make sure I give credit where credit is due, and let’s face it, making gratitude lists don’t happen enough – this practice should happen on a regular basis. It’s good, though, that we do have a …
Life: The Married, Virtually Connected,and Lonely
Lately, it seems, there has been a strange trend. Rather than going to friends’ houses for dinner parties, going to the restaurant with another couple, or grabbing coffee with a good buddy, people are sitting behind their computers and socializing virtually. While social media has really opened up a lot of venues for keeping in …
