Blog

I completed my first do it yourself project yesterday. It felt amazing! Now, I completely understand why certain people have such a hobby in recreating pieces for themselves! What I am most proud of, is that I really did do this project MYSELF! & I wasn’t afraid to TRY! Let me tell you a little…

office

I’m back. I have more motivation than I’ve had all summer. Sorry for my stuck–germs. Ick. Kaylee, get a grip. I did not create this blog to whine – forget it! My Wednesday started at 7am: I cleaned our master bathroom (& I mean, REALLY cleaned it), cleaned our bedroom, washed ALL the windows in…

stuck

Have you ever felt stuck? Or running in the middle of a rock and a hard place? What kinds of things to do you to cope? My status currently: stuck. Most of my previous posts have been about how I’m trying to enjoy the moments, enjoy life, etc… but sometimes my gears need some more…

bubbles

bubbles. Who knew my afternoons would now be spent blowing bubbles; for a dog. An average morning conversation (is it considered a conversation with a dog?) with Ace: Ace: staring at bubble container on table. Me: “Ace, do you want to go blow bubbles outside?” Ace: major wiggle butt, whining barking at the sliding door…

a happy mind

I dreaded the Saturday mornings when my mom used to tell me to clean and declutter my bedroom. Or if I heard the vacuum making it’s way down the stairs and eventually found it’s way into my room – while I was still sleeping, mind you! This event always took place after a late night…

slide; don’t stumble

Yesterday I tried my hand at painting. I did not create any sort of art; I painted the front room, off our front entry. In the morning, I sent Ace on his way to doggie day care, came home, cranked my tunes, and got to work. I found it soothing, even though I had no…

hobbies-schmobbies

There is one thing I want to get clear – this post will be a lot of rambling. I thought once I would start a blog, writing inspirations and daily insights would just appear on my computer screen. I love to write. I love to write creativity, I like to journal, I love to write…

#1 kick ass way to enjoy the day

#1: enjoy the sunshine. Step outside. Let the sun hit your face. Listen to birds in the trees or a neighbor child laughing. Feel the light tickle of a breeze on your cheek. Taste the crisp air. One goal I have had for myself is to find happiness in the little things. I have been…

music baths & ace

Have you ever allowed yourself to get totally engrossed in a favorite song? Currently, my status is known as taking a music bath. I am not sitting a bathtub. Music baths can be wherever the mood hits. Most times, for me, it’s on our patio. This is where I’ll spend most of my summer days…

Embody yourself…

Embody yourself fully. FULL is fabulous. Big. RIPE. round. Complete. UNIQUE. FULL IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS. Not half empty. – kris carr

smile today.

deadheading & the arrival of summer

This Memorial weekend has brought the sun. It has been absolutely beautiful outside; mid 70’s with a wonderful breeze. My grandma’s wake and funeral brought a week of tears, sprinkled with a couple laughs. Being around family is always a good thing. Family really is the most important thing. They really are there until the…

oh, yeah.. 1 year scans.

My grandma’s passing has been all I’ve thought about last week and this weekend. I had forgotten to blog about my year scans at the Mayo clinic on last Tuesday. ALL CLEAR! I met with a different doctor; normally I meet with Dr. Robinson, who knows exactly my goals and what I want to do…

it happened

Yesterday at 2:15 my grandma joined the angels in heaven. It doesn’t seem real. I had gone and visited her again last Saturday and we talked over doughnuts; I told her stories of students in my classroom and she explained how much water Begonia flowers needed. Her bright, blue eyes still had so much life….

springy, freshness
