It's Friday...hello, call me Captain Obvious. I'm welded to my couch and have little interest in separating myself from it. This is the first day of the week where I haven't had to rush out the door first thing in the morning. It's been a busy one with no end in sight. So many thoughts … Continue reading Writing Through the Unpretty

Drastic Measure Time
I'm here, writing again. It's going to be painful, arduous, non-flowy. It always happens this way after a break. I haven't been okay for some time now. I mean, physically I'm okay. And really, I'm managing...but I'm far from thriving. The world and the lens from which I view it is that hazy gray color … Continue reading Drastic Measure Time
So Many Thoughts on a Steamy Friday…
If I ever get around to posting all the thoughts in my head and notes scribbled in my journal, I won't know what to do with myself. It's been a hectic few weeks as we prep for a new school year while moving boxes out of our old house as we get it ready for … Continue reading So Many Thoughts on a Steamy Friday…
A Little Summer Update
Hey, friends! I had to check out for a spell. It's been a busy summer - mostly positive things, so no complaints there. I'm just in a weird space of figuring out what to do in terms of blogging. I actually set Grief Happens to private with the intention of cleaning it up and possibly … Continue reading A Little Summer Update
Matcha Latte Review
I'll start with a brief review of the recipe for Matcha Orange Cardamon Latte: I was not a fan, as Piers often says when he doesn't like something. Still, I feel obliged to offer my dear readers a caveat. Shockers, but I didn't follow the recipe to a tee, so I'll have to give it … Continue reading Matcha Latte Review
Rants and Recipes (if you read to the end)
Going to a wedding reception used to be a simple affair...before I became a parent. It was typically a celebratory event and even though there were times I wasn't sold on whether the couple was going to be together til death did them part, I was happy to partake in free food, booze and live … Continue reading Rants and Recipes (if you read to the end)
Smartphone Quandary
I've mentioned that I have focus issues. I know. I repeat myself regularly. Stay with me. I'll do my best to not bore you with the ALL the hairy details. Recently, I was talking to a friend who's also a busy mom. She takes care of her small farm, runs a business, and is active … Continue reading Smartphone Quandary
Serious Ponderings…Though it Might be the Worst Idea Ever
Perhaps I should start posting on Friday and call it the Friday Rant. Who am I kidding...it would have to be the Weekly Rant because I can't seem to commit to a particular day... _______________________________________________________________ I'm still in a bit of a state. Shortly after my last post, I felt worlds better. (Thank you to … Continue reading Serious Ponderings…Though it Might be the Worst Idea Ever
A Quick Check-in…
Hello, my dear Grief Happens readers. I've missed you! I'm fighting the urge to vomit out everything that's going on in my life. I mean...I want to share, but it feels like too much. Not too much in the normal way that I typically feel like it's all too much, though. This feels heavier and … Continue reading A Quick Check-in…
Savannah From the Sky
A friend posted the following video on Facebook, and I thought it was very cool. Ian Mercer is the photographer and he took this with a drone and edited on his iPhone (according to his Vimeo blurb.) I don't know much about drones, but I'm becoming more intrigued when I see results like these. Piers … Continue reading Savannah From the Sky
