I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus! Mom/ Nurse/ Harm Reduction Advocate/ Hobbiest Photographer/ Freelance writer/ (maybe) a poet {thanks to a recent writing mentor}

Life Goals

KV Public Library is booming guys!  Surprisingly booming.  It is always full of young parents with their babies/ toddlers/ preschool kiddos.  It is full of the 'older' folk (some of which I am going to talk about in a few).  Business people seem to host meetings and such in the boardrooms.  Students.... ahhh all the … Continue reading Life Goals →

Multiple Hats

Mornings are spent watching Peppa Pig, sipping hot coffee (hopefully) and having 2 babies crawling all over me (because God forbid I snuggle one kid at a time).  It is sheer chaos but I love it just the same.  Shipping the 2 monkeys out the door to daycare is a challenge but we manage. Today … Continue reading Multiple Hats →

Family Day

Family means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.  I have my "original" family: my mom, dad, brother & sister; my family: Blake and the kids; but I am also blessed to have a group of girls (and guys) that have been present in my life for the past 20 + … Continue reading Family Day →

Photography Thursday

Macro- photography has always fascinated me.  Impromptu birthday vacation day from work = me time!  What better way to spend MY day is there rather then doing what I love?  I have been attempting to successfully photograph a water drop for what feels like years- I didn't have the right lens so I was not … Continue reading Photography Thursday →

Overwhelming Monday

So here I am sitting at the hospital library.  Trying to work on school.  I looked in my agenda this morning because I felt like there was something specific I had to do.  Georgia missed speech therapy yesterday because I had to work and forgot to tell Blake.  Didn't even cross my mind.  BUT- Nothings … Continue reading Overwhelming Monday →

What we take for granted.

I just feel so blessed to know 100% my kids were safe and having a blast with their daddy while I was at work today! Sometimes I think we rant and rave about what our significant other didnt do... what bothers us.. It's always so easy to complain! I came home to a tidyish home … Continue reading What we take for granted. →

Work…

What does a working parent look like? By working parent I am refering to stay at home parents and working outside the home parents 🙂 A working parent feels guilty for walking out that door on Saturday morning while her kid is crying "I want to come too" A working parent struggles to find their … Continue reading Work… →

Keeping it simple

One of my best friends and I were having a conversation about work life balance the other day. Talking about juggling work/school/motherhood. Every decision we make, now that we are parents, require us to consider how the family unit will be impacted-- no matter how big or small the decision is! My girl says "Holly … Continue reading Keeping it simple →
