Finding Freedom Through Blogging
I’m Still Here: You may have been wondering why it has been so long since I have written a blog post.. I think this is my first bout of “blogger’s block.” Like “writer’s block,” but with a blog. The one year anniversary for this blog came and went, and I had to make a big decision to give up or… Read More
Cheap (Inexpensive)-Shelf-Addict: I would definitely consider myself a cheap-shelf-addict. I am obsessed with those little shelves you can buy for next to nothing new and even closer to nothing at yard sales. I love them so much because they are cheap (inexpensive) and VERSATILE. They can be a book shelf, a craft organizer, a toy shelf, etc. etc. The sky’s… Read More
I am currently trying to add more DIY Projects to my blog, but I found this from a while back and wanted to share. I know there are other frustrated Moms out there. Just letting you know, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! The Battle is Real: People have told me that I always look “put together,” and that I always seem… Read More
Herringbone is very on-trend right now, and the pattern seemed like the perfect match for my large wall in my living room. I searched for other people’s projects on Pinterest, but did not really find many DIY posts on the topic. I hope people wanting to go for this awesome look, will find this post helpful and encouraging. You can… Read More
Time to Take a Crazy Drive: I recently went on a spur of the moment road trip to see my family. This is not something that I do. EVER! My Dad called up and said he had the coming week off, and that we should drive down. I hadn’t seen my Dad in about 4 ½ years, and he hadn’t… Read More
Lyme Treatment FollowUp: In the Dumps The last post I wrote about my Lyme issues was a pretty big downer. I was feeling pretty crummy for about 3 weeks prior to this week. I was losing faith in the whole process (Lyme Stop), and was having anxiety over seeing Dr. Smith for my Lyme-Stop Treatment follow-up appointment. I guess I… Read More
You Rip What You Sew – Unwarranted Confidence: My second set of curtains ever was almost finished. I thought, “Wooohooo, three panels down and one to go.” I held up the panel I was working on and realized I had folded the seam the wrong way and sewed it up. I held up the last panel I had done, same… Read More
One Little Bite – Sick & Tired Another Wasted Day… 7/5/2016: I spent most of today sleeping. It is the second time in a week that I have done that. The exhaustion has been overwhelming and I’ve been feeling yucky. No, I’m not pregnant. I read your mind! Just feeling cruddy. I am so sick of taking a handful of… Read More
Did you ever experience something that just made you feel young and alive? It has been a long time since I have felt anything like that. From the time I was a little child to when I was in my first years of college, I danced. When my favorite song would come on, I would just slam, like go crazy…. Read More
My sewing machine that I have had since I was about 10, saw the light today!!! Woot woot! I actually learned how to use the thing! Youtube was extremely helpful . My thread kept getting all bunchy, but I learned that I didn’t have my bobbin all the way clicked in. As I clicked the bobbin in, something clicked in… Read More
