I started this blog/website/online journal a little over sixteen plus years ago. At that time I was a brand new mom, only married a handful of years, and living in a small town in rural southeast Kansas. I was selling handmade jewelry online, and hoping to make any money I could off ads to help pay for diapers… Sixteen plus years brings me to here.

I’m now a seasoned mom of a tweenage daughter and two teenage sons, married twenty years this year, and I have two cats and a cute pup. We are currently living in a house built in 1905, in a different small town in middle southeast Kansas, and I am bored out of my mind.

Sixteen years can do a lot to a person.

Sixteen years has done a lot to this person.

I used to post creative crafts, meals, and projects that I was working on. Now I feel as if every single ounce of creativity has been sucked out of my body, and I live in a stagnant puddle of repetitive tasks. I constantly crave sleep to get away from the kitchen and cleaning up one more thing, that someone else could actually help with. I am completely burnt out on existence.

So I’m going to share the crap, the bad days, and the disappointments. I will post the frustration, the boredom, and the tedium of my life. It won’t be pretty, but it is who I am sixteen plus years later.
