Hi friends! Hope you’re enjoying the morning! I don’t know about you, but I’m so ready for 2020 to begin. The end of 2019 can pretty much go in the trash can lol. Even though I’ve been feeling way better, I’m still a bit tired and achy. I haven’t worked out since Xmas eve, and…

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? It was a great one over here because the Pilot is back after being gone for a while. I feel like I’m always writing that… and it’s pretty much the story of our life right now. He was gone six days, home for two, and gone six…

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? Ours flew by since we got home from NYC late Monday night. I guess Tucson thought we would miss the colder weather because it’s been rainy and wintery all week! I’m loving it. Tuesday, I was slammed with work stuff and my inbox was on the verge…

Hiiiiii hi! Happy Friday! How’s the week going? I feel like this one was an absolute blur. P stayed home from school all week with her ruptured eardrum – she wasn’t feeling great until Wednesday and I kept her home for yesterday’s funeral. It was a beautiful service, but felt very sad and final. It’s…
