It’s such a humbling (and awesome) feeling when someone says they like my blog and that it makes them smile / think / laugh. That’s my favorite. It’s like I always say: A little flattery will only get you everywhere. It’s even more exciting when someone says “I think your blog is so amazing I’m giving […]
If I Had a Million Dollars …
It’s fun to dream sometimes–to think about the whimsical What Ifs. What would I do if I never had to wash / dry / fold / put away another load of laundry? What if I never needed to unload the dishwasher again? What if I didn’t have to choose between vacation destinations and I could […]

I’m Thankful for Dirty Socks
Right now, I am thankful for the mounds of laundry needing my attention, the socks and shoes left haphazardly near the couch. I’m grateful for the dirty underwear on the floor in the bathroom and the smeared toothpaste in the sink. I am glad to see nail polish and ponytails all over the house. I’m […]
