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…

Happy February!
I'm back! I attempted several drafts...in December...then in January, trying to succinctly sum up last year and offer hope for 2017. But truthfully, I've been a little down. 2016 was a good year for Grief Happens. I posted regularly, saw an increase in views and gained more followers, but for some reason, rather than feeling … Continue reading Happy February!
Reading, Cleaning, Gabbing
Happy Tuesday, my loves. Are y'all as happy to see February as I am? Did our pal, the groundhog, see his shadow in your neck of the woods? My children are both having cognitive jumps, apparently. What this means is that their debate skills are forcing me to use parts of my brain that have … Continue reading Reading, Cleaning, Gabbing
The Good — What’s Moving Me These Days #WGWW
So. . . my past few posts have been quite the bag of negativity. Occasionally, I need to blast out the contents in my head that might be better reserved for therapy or a private journal. Or maybe not. I think it's okay to share the less-than-stellar. Thanks to those who read and especially those … Continue reading The Good — What’s Moving Me These Days #WGWW

And truthfully, I didn't exactly lose it, but as someone who loathes confrontation and prefers every interaction to be the harmonious variety, it felt that way. I received a freaking collections letter FROM THE LIBRARY in … Continue reading The Problem With a Brain Like Mine…

Book Talk for Enduring Shameless Yet Guilt-Ridden Whining
Before I dive in to the bulk of this post, I need to waste a few lines complaining. I’m about to show my Southern roots when I say this, but this cold weather is kicking my tail, and I need vitamin D in the most dramatic sense possible. I know. I’m setting myself up for … Continue reading Book Talk for Enduring Shameless Yet Guilt-Ridden Whining
Summer Update
Summer has been busy! I've been doing better living in the moment than recording it, which seems to be a bit of a problem for me as a writer. I'm also adjusting to being with my children ALL day. I didn't think I had much time when they were in preschool for three hours, but … Continue reading Summer Update
