Date day, homes + coffee

One of the things we would love to be able to do is to build our next home. Matt has always wanted a little bit of land (the older I get, the less I desire it), but I get it. He doesn't want to be super close to our neighbors, and he doesn't want to be in a neighborhood.

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.
