New Goals, Baby-Inspired
I’m now 32 and we have a baby and so much has changed! Obviously my 33rd year will be dominated by baby adventures… there will be so many firsts, and challenges, and memories to cherish! Thus when I thought about my goals, it seemed natural that baby would take the forefront. That said, I also […]
Unexpected Luxuries (or why I didn’t get all my goals completed last year)
A year ago things like diamonds, private jets and fancy cars would have topped the list when I thought of luxury. Taking incredible vacations and having endless funds and not ever having to work anymore would have also been considered. Certainly, the act of setting and completing goals wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. It’s funny how […]
There’s No Time Like the Present
I spoiled myself yesterday with this most beautiful bouquet of flowers! It wasn’t because I was feeling down and needed a pick-me-up. It wasn’t a reward for some job well done or a special occasion. It wasn’t because I’m pregnant and hormonal, or because I needed to stop at the flower store anyways. It was just because.

Gratitude Gems: No More Shoveling
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! As I walked out to the car this morning through the fresh snow that had fallen overnight, I couldn’t help but consider our new shoveling situation. We used to live in a house, and so we were responsible […]
Gratitude Gems: Walking is for the Birds
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I had to walk to work this morning for the first time in a loooooong time, and boy what a drag! I’ve come to realize that I really, really didn’t appreciate all that my body was capable of […]
Gratitude Gems: A Whole List of Things
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! Here I’ve missed two Mondays in a row, and that’s just unacceptable. It’s not that I haven’t been grateful, but I’ve just been too busy and/or lazy to make note of it here! So in classic catch-up style, […]
