  • party planning

    As much as I like throwing a party, I’d rather not plan it. Well, that is when I am behind and everything seems last minute. Oh, time flies when you are busy working for multiple people. It’s hard to work for yourself sometimes. I have been planning a house warming party for my partner and…

  • The Depot

    The Depot

    Located only thirty minutes from me, open seven days a week stands a big place called The Depot. I mean, it’s only 88,000 square feet of antique heaven. They even have a fabric shop inside, which makes it all worth-while. I literally have to plan a day just to go there. My thirty-minute commute turns…

  • I am not a shoe girl.

    Let’s face it. I am not a shoe girl, at all. The fact that I have shoes on is probably because it’s required by society. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate them nor do I refuse to wear them. I am just overall not a feet person so you see where my trouble begins.…

  • I’m back

    I’m back

    My biggest apologies about my absence. I’ve been in and out of the trenches. Wether it be work, sewing, family, and health. I now have four holes in my mouth. My wisdom teeth were finally removed thank goodness. That pain was no longer welcome. I’m still on a soft diet due to healing. It’s a…

  • Spring is here!

    Spring is here!

    Screaming “Hell yessssss!” to this warmer weather. I’m so glad I can start taking layers off of this chocolate skin. The sun is out and about sharing it’s rays. As of now there are no showers on standby – I couldn’t ask for more. Feeling the sun on my skin makes the day just that…

  • Learning your role

    What roles do you play in the life you live? I have been logging different examples to explain and understand the different roles we play in this life. I am currently a woman, sister, daughter, auntie (as well as other family roles), friend, partner, coworker, and the list builds. We need to focus on some…

  • flower power!

    I grew up rebellious against femininity. I was determined to be stronger, better, tougher, taller, and more compared to a man. Early on I saw a man as a competitor, someone I always had to prove myself to. I’m telling you this because because of that, I didn’t like girly colors, flowers or anything associated…

  • losing loved ones.

    I experienced losing a loved one as early as seven. I remember it well, we were playing a spice girls game. At this time my sisters and I shared a large bedroom. My mother walked in and calmly told us my cousin had passed and we were to visit her family soon. She was so…

  • Family of Girls

    Growing up in a family of girls is tough, truly. I have three sisters with whom I grew up with. My older sister, twin sister and little sister. Four total girls, a wife, and a female dog for my poor dad to handle throughout those years. Don’t get me wrong, we make a great set…

  • Women have gas too…

    “Whew!” what my other side tends to say shortly after I cut the cheese. I mean it’s only natural, right? When is there a proper time to let loose? My insides will not tolerate the gas for long, sometimes it just slips. So many things are “gross” and natural but accepted only by men. he…
