Life and other things.
So basically we have been making sweet love to the summer already. Actually, I think the summer might need to take a pregnancy test because we have rocked its world so hard. Beaches and ballgames and bonfires and drive-in movies. It’s been a whirlwind few days. I’m still kinda meh and really low [...]
I have been battling a low bout of depression for the past few months, and if you read my blog enough you can probably see how up and down I get. Sometimes I have good days and I come out of it and feel like everything is good, but the truth is its more of [...]
You should know, I am a ridiculously impulsive person. When Shawn and I were in our first year together and crazy in love I was all, ” let’s go somewhere like love birds!” and it went something like this: me: Let’s go on a little road trip! Shawn: OK! Where should we go? me: I’m [...]
Just wanted to share a quick post about something that has been on my mind lately. I am going to cut back a bit on the posts with my kids in them. I don’t want to overexpose them or risk their safety. On Hannah’s first day of 6th grade I had posted a photo and [...]
So this is what my mom felt like when I wanted to wear her old bell bottoms? Look how happy 1999 Colleen is about overalls getting all up in her instagram: That is a face of pure joy. What a nerd. See this people?? Stop it. Also, tan-nude-frost lip and nail combos can stay gone [...]
On Saturday we experienced something of a threat level yellow. Sitting quietly in the living room watching television in the calm yellow light of Target lamps when suddenly a vicious banging on our door ripped my calm heart straight out of my chest. First of all, we don’t get unexpected visitors here, ever. Ever. So [...]
I hate saying my name out loud. I don’t dislike my name, I actually like it, but I have always had this weirdness for saying it out loud. Shawn and I were watching Office Space: me- I am totally just like Jennifer Aniston’s character in this movie, you know that right? Shawn- How is that? [...]
Really, just needed to sit down and type it out for a minute. Suddenly there is a constant stream of school activity as the year winds down and I am on the go all day long. Taking care of Shawn, the kids, the house, soap, blogging, designing, babysitting, other freelance work, and I am FAILING [...]
Well I totally blew it. I probably could have kept up with it, and I really enjoyed having a prompt to use, but I just can’t be held accountable for something like blogging everyday. Plus, I sort of felt like every one is doing it, and I don’t like to run with the crowds. j/k [...]
foaming whipped sugar scrubs! Well it’s no secret that I have had my hands full lately. I really want to get my shop open, my heart hurts when I see finished products on the shelf and not in people’s hands when I seem to have people that actually really want them! I ended up hurting [...]
