Scary Words

January tenth I woke up not feeling well. I had a fever of 101. But, I only had it mid-morning. Sunday morning I woke up without a fever, but two hours later had it again for a few hours. I didn't have a lot of other symptoms. My head felt weird and I sounded congested, but I didn't feel congested. I wasn't surprised I was sick as the girls I nanny had been sick Thursday and Friday. Monday, I woke up with a fever. Around 10:30 that morning I was writing some stuff on my calendar when the left side of my face started tingling. At first, it was just near the ear, but within a few minutes it was the whole side of my face. I wasn't sure if I should go to the doctor or not, so I called my doctor's office. After speaking with a nurse, she told me to go to Strongsville Express care.

My Year in Pictures January 2026

January was a difficult month. There is not a lot I want to remember from it, but I will anyway. I first saw this idea on Jennifer's blog and thought it was a great idea. The idea is to pick one photo from the month, a photo to highlight the month. Jennifer is using the photo to recap the month and at the end of the year see a recap of the year. 

Share Four Somethings January 2026

January was a dumpster fire and I don't think I have ever been so ready to flip the calendar to a new month! I won't recap here all the bad from the month, but hopefully will eventually get some posts out about it. We have some new prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up for this year they are: something we loved, something we are carrying forth from this month to next, something that sustained us, and some thing we are making space for. I will try to get my graphic updated before next month's post, I don't have the mental capacity for it today. We are linking up with Jennifer! 

Hello!

Can I pop on here and act like I didn't just disappear for a month? While things have been busy for a long time, these last 2 months were just insane. I still don't feel like I have time to breath (I am at work and both kiddos are napping at the same time, which is a rare commodity!). In case you missed it, we moved the week before Christmas. I don't recommend it.

Housing update December 2025

If you have been sleeping under a rock, you might have missed that we are moving again! Our house has been on the market since the end of May. We were under contract in two days. We were actively house hunting, but then the buyer had "a change of heart" and backed out. We stopped packing and stopped looking for a house. Fast forward until around August, and our house went back under contract. I started packing again, and we stared looking for a house again.

My Year in Pictures November 2025

November went fast! And December is getting away from me as well.

Share Four Somethings November 2025

Once again the end of a month has snuck up on me. I am sure at this point no one is surprised, LOL! Our house officially sold this month (praise God) and we close on December 16th. This has added another level of busyness to our already busy year. I am looking forward to being settled again soon (when we find another place!). (started this post in November and now it's 12/5) Our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up are some things we loved, somethings we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. We are linking up with Jennifer!
