It’s been so long since I participated in a quick takes but multiple things have kept me from posting recently. 1. I have started working again. Sort of. From home.

1. I didn’t make a huge announcement that I was pregnant, so I’m not going to make a huge announcement that I am no longer pregnant.   We had a miscarriage last week.   And if that wasn’t crappy enough, I lost my keys while in the ER AND a book that I was reading so that […] Read more…

1. I feel like a million bucks! It’s amazing what a haircut, some new clothes, and cooking fresh, in-season produce can do! 2. I love strawberry season. And zucchini. And rhubarb. And broccoli. And and and :). 3. My pineapple zucchini bread smells fab! I’m drooling as I sit here. 4. I thank God for […] Read more…

1. We have spent soooooo much money this month. I’m afraid to add it up. We’ve just lowered the price on the house & spent a few hundred on curb appeal. And I bought Lil’ Bit a bunch of summer clothes on clearance in the next size up. And stocked up on Diapers. And bought […] Read more…

1. I made over $600 selling stuff on Craigslist and should be selling my desk this weekend bringing April to the same! Yee-haw! 2. Of course my other desk is in Florida with my camper and I hadn’t fully purged all the stuff IN that furniture yet so my office is a di.sast.er. Complete and […] Read more…
