Okay, I’m gonna be honest here, as relatively easy as top ten posts should be to write, this one is hard mostly because of the same old thing–as women, we’re conditioned not to think too highly of ourselves. Where even saying “thank you” when someone compliments us is seen as bragging. So, I’m just gonna […]

So, this post is meant to be the annual look back at 2016 and a look ahead at goals for 2017. I think Helen Mirren said it well. For me, this year has pretty much sucked endless ass–particularly on the professional, cultural, social and political fronts. But for the sake of this post (and my […]
I feel like I could just copy my last year’s holiday post (and the year before that, and the year before that, and probably the year before that one, too) which I believe went something like: Oh my god, how are there only X days ’til Christmas? I still have a mountain of sewing and cross stitching […]
It’s time for another Nostalgic Notes were we look back at the stuff we’re…you know… nostalgic about. Some of these will be from my childhood and some from my kids’ because nostalgia – I’m rife with it. Lemme introduce you to my childhood. I feel like the revelation that my mom was a great […]

Dear Future Me, I have so many things to congratulate us for. First off, good job not only getting rid of the toxic people in your life but also keeping them out. I know that probably hasn’t been as easy as you’d would have liked. We have a long history of not being able to […]
Before I get to the actual post, I just wanted to say we’ve got a new blogger in our lineup! Torrance Sené has joined us! Yay, Torrance, and welcome! As I mentioned in an earlier post, this year has been rough writing-wise, but things are starting to pick up a little, and in a month […]
First off, I want to thank J of the Tumbling Words blog for this lovely blogging award. And I apologize for taking so long to put up my post. I’ll be posting the rules and nominating some people after I answer the questions from Tumbling Words. Who is your favourite book character and why? This […]
It’s time for another Nostalgic Notes post, and this time it’s movies. There are a ton of movies that I have massive nostalgia for. And nearly everyone of these is quoted regularly around our house. Unless you’re new here, you had to know this one would be at the top of the list. Yes, I […]
