A Week in My Life: Strep Throat as an Adult
This week has been a memorable one for me. I've had some good things happen, but they were all clouded by my bout with Strep Throat. Guys, Strep is no joke as an adult. My husband shared with me today that some people have lost limbs because of the infection. I've experienced Strep a few times in my life, but it's been nearly 15 years since I've dealt with the infection. I don't remember feeling horrible for so long. I don't feel 100%, but I am on the mend.

Five Minute Friday: Breathe
It's Sunday afternoon, and I am finally sitting down to write the latest Five Minute Friday post. This is partially because I've been holding my breath since Thursday. Trying to be patient, but not really. Questioning everything I thought I knew. Wondering. Not breathing.
Finding Joy in the Chaos

Making Intentional Connections
This desire for community was apparent within my family, my friendships, and even those I had the opportunity to work with, but it seemed like I was came up short. I questioned myself often about whether I was giving off some strange vibe or if I wasn't fully open enough.

Connecting is hard; disconnecting is harder.
Making Time for YOUR Passions
Pursuing my passions doesn't end because I am a homeschooling mom, and pursuing yours shouldn't end either. I've found that being intentional gives me room to do the things that bring me joy like writing, designing, and creating.
