I promise this will be shorter than my last post. Gee willigers, it just kept going on and on. To tell the truth, I probably could have said more about each of those products but wanted to at least try to keep it somewhat short and succinct. Back to my revelation, after staying home with my tot again in this week I realized she loves being busy and engaged. She isn’t just trying to drive…
So I got some new food items that are blowing my mind. I watch this YouTuber named Flavcity (https://www.youtube.com/user/flavcity) and he shares a phenomenal amount of information about ingredients. I will say some of it is a bit over the top for me but I am learning so much! He shares a lot about “Keto and Paleo”, which I probably won’t ever get into, but the ingredient breakdown is where it’s at! The first thing…
Recently I’ve been wanting to play around with my hair sometimes. The one thing about a pixie (for me anyway) is that occasionally I get the urge to change things up. It’s harder when your hair is really short. I could color my hair I suppose but it gets complicated when your hair is nearly black. So I did what I always do and went to YouTube in search of inspiration. The thing I discovered…
This girl of mine is always keeping me on my toes. A neighbor was setting off some serious fireworks for the holiday yesterday basically at the same time I was trying to put her down to sleep. She sat up and said, “What’s that noise?” I told her it was fireworks, to which she responded, “again”. Little turkey! A few minutes after putting her in bed she was fast asleep and slept through the duration…
When I found out I was pregnant, the first feeling I had was terror. Which is not surprising to anyone who knows me even remotely well. And I’m still scared. But the other emotion I felt was excitement over all the big moments to come. First day of school. First dance. So many firsts. What I’ve quickly realized is the small things are pretty damn cool too. I’m not sure how common it is, but…
So, here we go with my first short post that would normally go on Facebook. Ready, set, go! It is really interesting watching your toddler learn things, rather mysteriously. This morning the ice-maker made its magical making ice noises and Cec whispered to me, “Mommy, what’s that noise?” Ha! I just can’t get over the cuteness. Of course, just to put me in my place, she proceeded to have a complete fit while I tried…
Recently, I have realized that I need to make some changes to become more productive and decrease some of the stressors invading my creativity. There are enough of those stressors that are not in my control, that it feels good to get rid of the ones that are. To that end, I have made the decision to decrease greatly, if not, eliminate posting on Facebook. Let me explain. I have been contemplating deactivating my account…
A few months ago – when the whole world was different – I had contemplated going back to getting my nails done. But, in true Jess fashion, I kept procrastinating. In hindsight, perhaps it is better, as I was able to sideline that whole disaster of trying to figure out a way to remove them without a salon. Yikes. No fun. I have experimented with a few different kinds of press-on nails with varied results.…
It needs to be said. For me. For you. Even if the people who deserve these words never read them. I am sorry. For the last few years. For the phone calls or message that were not returned. For the words that went unspoken. For the words that were harsher than intended. For being self-absorbed. For not being there. For not being Jess. To myself: It is okay that life has been hard. Things are…
Well, it is weird times indeed. There are things happening that have never happened before. It is leaving me simultaneously terrified and inspired. My day job has me continuing to mostly work as I had before, which is both a blessing and not so much. Certainly, I feel lucky to still have a job, but it is also stressful because there are still so many unknowns still in the mix. I don’t deal well with…
