I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this BUT I live a few miles from both the ocean and a pretty large forrest. So from time to time we have controlled burns and they’ve been going on the past few days. It’s always a bit unsettling to see and also keeps us inside. BUT It’s definitely better than the alternative. So…

With Phillip nearing 100 and Queen Elizabeth not far behind, I suspect that when he passes, she will follow soon after. She seems to genuinely love him and I think that love has let her look past a lot of things on his part. That said, I’ve always thought of Phillip like a ship lost at sea and she gave him the only…

It’s ok. I totally get that. We lived in a tiny 1 BR apt with a galley kitchen for 10 years. I learned how to cook efficiently there at least and cranked out full course meals for our friends. It was an awesome time on our lives looking back but I can think of a few hysterical mishaps all due to the size of our…

I’m in a similar situation with my vaccine and it’s kinda soul crushing on a lot of levels but even my dad who is eligible due to age can’t get in any where. It’s frustrating and being immune compromised, I have been extremely eager to get mine. I think it’s partly why I’m in such a funk as I can’t see an end in sight…

Aw shucks. I adore this. TY. Their waddling adorable ness has definitely filled our hearts. Tiny human’s most treasured toy is a stuff penguin named Gwenie. She has a twin named Penny at my parents and I have a triplet packed away in mint condition in our hope chest. We truly love penguins

TY. It was definitely a selling point on the house. The counters & appliances were recently done and I loved the way it looked while the rest of the house wasn’t. So it was kinda perfect. We could make the rest ours as peeled back the literal layers of paneling, wallpaper and drop ceilings

This is what I was able to sneak past the tiny human ... this penguin is a little wonky as it’s a proto type done with a desert plate. I’m making big & little ones

I have Crohn’s and although I enjoy a beer every once in awhile, it absolutely kills me and makes me immediately ill. I’ve always suspected it was something to do with either the fermentation or yeast 

As a SAHM my day to day interactions we’re definitely limited before the pandemic but I never realized how even the few I did have being gone has effected me so much. I have the brain mush too. It’s partly why I’ve stopped reading on kindle and switched back to real books. It’s like my mind literally needs something…

Rest up my friend. Sounds like you need it after all that. And poor hubs. I’m sure it was very stressful for him to watch you go through that. My husband has been on that side a few times when I landed in the hospital with my Crohn’s in serious condition. We are very lucky to have partners like that. 

Glad I’m not the only one. It’s definitely a weird thing way to live but at least we’ve stayed safe so far. My dad is eligible for the shot but can’t get an appt. I don’t think I’ll be eligible until the summer so until I’m really just trying to stay within our bubble of family/friends as we all are kinda in the same…

TY. I am sure she definitely will

Wow !!! First off that’s intensely strange to experience I am sure. Also I truly hope you are on the mend as that is definitely a concerning issue to suddenly have happen. Thank goodness you were able to get checked out and also have your husband. 

Costco is awesome !!! We joke that everything is better at Costco (in Russian accent) after hearing my FIL spout it’s endless merits.  But it’s true. 

I am starting to craft aquarium decorations for the tiny human to wake up to in a few weeks. I’ve made some adorable little fish& turtles out Dixie cups and penguins out of paper plates. I’ll post some photos later hopefully. I just can’t pull them out now or the surprise will be seen 

Wow you definitely don’t see that very often. Crazy how high the explosion was 

I have not read it BUT congratulations on the clarity. I think we all try to hide ourselves in our bad habits not realizing how much they hinder us rather than help. I’ve never been much of a drinker due to my Crohn’s but I am a smoker of the green kind. It’s helped me immensely with my autoimmune disease but I do…

We had rain all day today too. I love fog tho. I find it so eerie but love how it just swallows everything up.

Beautiful!!! Love seeing photos from other SNS commentators. We got out on a nice hike this week with the temperatures finally warming up here. It was definitely needed
