Fruits & Veggies
Went grocery shopping today. As I was putting the fruit away, this little rhyme of a poem came to mind. Caution - super cheesy! We have a bowl of fruit, That my children try to loot. We keep it filled a plenty, The kids they eat so many! Grocery bill is running high, Fruit they …
Kid Toy Overload
Three days into Spring Break and I've decided to clean and organize my kids' toys. Am I crazy? Probably. I had absolutely no idea how many things were "hidden" in drawers, under the beds, in corners behind curtains, or infused with every crevice humanly imaginable. Mad props to my kiddos on their cleaning creativity. So, …

Composed of brown and grey fluff Scrunching their noses up and down as new scents are detected Alert ears dart in various directions Frantically skittering about as two leggers near Huddling together in one spot of seclusion Immediate detection is temporarily avoidable Long grey snake swallows all in one fatal pass.
Missing Muffin
Muffin is a stuffed teddy bear given to me by my partner two years ago with my Valentine’s gift. What can I say, I love cute and cuddly things! Anyhoo, Muffin was lost for a period of time! It was one of those things where you look in all the usual and unusual places, tear …

Top 10 Tuesday
I've been inspired by some of the slices posted regarding a certain format, so here's mine. A top 10 list of things I love about myself, in a much needed time for self-love. 🙂 10. I'm totally okay eating a jumbo hot dog and large cheese fry from Portillos on a stressful day. 9. I …
Sunrise
My day is off to a pretty splendid start (which is unusual for a Monday)! I was able to climb out of bed at a decent time. I knocked out a bunch of work "to dos". I made a stop at Starbucks and the line was incredibly short! And to top it all off, I …
