    Our Travel to Mexico

    February 25, 2024 / No Comments

    At the end of January, my husband and I flew to Merida, Mexico. Merida is on the Yucatan Peninsula and is just over 3 hours northwest of Cancun. Neither one of us had ever been to Merida, so we were looking forward to a new adventure. We stayed at the Chable’ Yucatan Resort, which is about 40 miles east of…

    Hopefully, you have updated your bookmarks to come visit me on my new website. You should notice that I’ve made a few changes. I now have my etsy store linked here. I hope you’ll browse and decide to buy something. I struggled a bit with commodifying what I’m doing, however, more than a few people have asked to buy things…

    Every day holds something new

    September 12, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I’m so sorry. I love my blog and I always mean to attend to it more regularly and then life happens. 1. A lot has happened since my last post back in May. I’m still creating, albeit not as much as I would like because my workplace has reopened and so, I’m having to go into the office on a…

We have had incredible food and have been able to relax by the pool. Confession – I spent way too many years hating my body. It really is a love/hate relationship I have…

    The Bird in the Storm

    April 14, 2021 / 13 Comments

    Art I’m in a rut, artistically speaking, right now. I’ve signed up for quite a few things this year and nothing is speaking to me. Yesterday, I continued working on a piece that I started this week-end and I’m very “meh” about it right now. I try to be gentle with myself as a newbie artist, but this is something…

    Getting back to normal

    April 3, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Yesterday in a word felt normal. I went out into the world by myself to do shopping for Easter and for my boys who have birthdays about a week apart. I went into Ulta to buy some of my favorite products and spent more than I was planning because it felt so indulgent. Tomorrow morning I will drive with my…
