Life with a new baby means reassessing some previous habits, like gaming and Netflix.
New Year, New Journal
I've been a little absent lately, but that is because I was adapting to life as a new mom! We welcomed our little Gem to the world in October! It has been a whirlwind of doctors appointments and family in and out of town and holidays, but now that things are finally starting to settle into … Continue reading New Year, New Journal
Bullet Journal – Review
I am not turning this into a bullet journaling blog, there are so many great ones already out there to choose from! However, since this is a current interest of mine, I thought I would update you on how it is working out for me. I'll probably begin posting about bullet journaling monthly to show you what is working, … Continue reading Bullet Journal – Review
What Not to Say (To a Woman with HG)
The main reason I wanted to post about my Hyperemesis Gravidarium pregnancy is so that I could then write about the things that people should and shouldn't say to me or any other woman with this condition. Consider this a PSA on how not to talk to women with HG. Don't mention how nice it is … Continue reading What Not to Say (To a Woman with HG)

Excitement mixes with nerves and you become so jazzed up that … Continue reading Living with HG

As an artist, I also tend to carry … Continue reading Bullet Journaling

By the time I found out I was pregnant I had the future nursery theme narrowed down to three ideas. Idea one, while cool for a kids room, would be perhaps … Continue reading Nursery Themes
Life is a Pyramid
There is some recent interest online in a book donating program that seems to share some similarities to traditional pyramid schemes and it is getting negative press. Since I have a slightly unpopular opinion about pyramids in general, I decided to share my thoughts on the matter. While I'm not participating in the book exchange and have … Continue reading Life is a Pyramid
Homemaking
I've been a homemaker now for almost 8 years, ever since I married JT, my high school sweetheart. Newsflash: I'm terrible at it. I don't clean much, I don't cook near as often as I would like to, I'm not even good at keeping laundry going. I am however really good at reorganizing everything over … Continue reading Homemaking
