It's Earth Month and you know what that means: marches, campaigns and sales. I'm here to babble on about a trend sweeping some regions: zero waste. Of course to many it's less of a trend and more of a lifestyle choice which is great! It deserves to be more than a trend. Sometimes it can … Continue reading 35: Here’s the thing about Zero-Waste

32: A New Philosophy on the New Year
So I'm updating this for the first time in a while and also for the first time in the New Year. I originally intended to post on Christmas Eve but just as I began to ramble about how my sisters were later for dinner, they showed up and we ate dinner. The days that followed … Continue reading 32: A New Philosophy on the New Year
31: Kids are weird pt. 2
CLICK for the first part, if you missed it. A recurring theme in my life is that the kids weigh very heavily on it. This kind of goes for all of my sisters (and not just the actual mother, haha). That year in Texas pretty much killed me being without the big one and as … Continue reading 31: Kids are weird pt. 2
30: A letter to a munchkin
Dear nugget, I don't know if it's just the mood I'm in or seeing your Christmas performance or the holiday season coming in, but I feel pretty grateful. For a lot of things but there's something very special about you. I don't know when or how we bonded (probably has to do with you always … Continue reading 30: A letter to a munchkin
29: My hands have been hurting
My carpal tunnel is the explanation for the delayed posts and the breaks this past week. As one might imagine, it's difficult to get through a post when your hands are in pain. I've been trying to reserve using my hands for necessities or resting them altogether. It's difficult especially when you have so much … Continue reading 29: My hands have been hurting
27: Character Development
It's interesting to me how we rationalize our affinities towards characters in any story. Take characters in movies or TV for example, women will gush over men on the big screen and fawn over their character regardless of flaws or lack of depth. On the other hand, a woman could fawn over a character based … Continue reading 27: Character Development
26: Taking Control
There come times in which you feel so helpless. You feel victim to your own circumstance. You feel yourself succumbing to it. To be fair, it's hard. You're not in control of your destiny, of what happens in your future, not totally...although we try every day to maintain some semblance of control. Sometimes it's just … Continue reading 26: Taking Control
Day 25
We're officially a quarter of the way through! Wow, time certainly flies. I can't even really remember what day it was when I decided to start this thing. My hands have been in some serious pain lately, making the motivation for me to write even less. Although recently I did fall asleep forgetting to post. … Continue reading Day 25
Day 24: Kids are weird
And I don't mean in the "kids do weird things" way. I mean, obviously kids do weird things. Adults do weird things too....but I'm talking about how kids are weird in the way that they eventually become non-kids....which is a roundabout way of saying that it's weird watching kids grow up. Take my mini, for … Continue reading Day 24: Kids are weird
Day 23: National Cookie Day
So I didn't know it was cookie day when I made the cookies but lately I've been obsessed with perfecting my own chocolate chip cookie recipe. So I've been doing a lot of research and watching a lot of videos on chocolate chip cookies. Last night I finally put it into practice, not totally perfect … Continue reading Day 23: National Cookie Day
