10 Fall Staples: 10 on the 10th

Sweet potatoes, Not feeling good this week, girls.  Probably TMI but I am suffering with hemorrhoids.  They are a real pain in the butt.  Have tried ointments and creams, suppositories but still pretty miserable.  Splurged today on a $28 tube of the strongest over the counter med available and can finally sit down long enough […]

Hello

Welcome, so glad you're here.

In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here.
