I was having coffee with a friend at the beginning of February, and we were discussing how my blog lacks a niche. Niches are quite important in the blogosphere. But now that I am halfway through perimenopause, approaching 50, and have been blogging for almost 10 years, I don't really care if my blog has… Continue reading Google Searches That Define You

Screw It, I’m Eating Tater Tots- Part Twelve (Birthday Month Edition)
I've been writing about my birthday month for several years now, but for those who are new, I celebrate the entire month of my birth by writing fun posts of no substance.

The Happiness Jar
Last November, I taught a homeschool creative writing class and within the class "syllabus" I decided that we were going to create something called "happiness jars".

On Painting Bedrooms and Dying Hamsters
We had last painted our bedroom about ten years ago. We painted it a taupe color that I loved. Interestingly, it was the same paint color that was in my ex in-laws' condo. I had texted my former mother-in-law a few weeks before to ask her what the name of the color was. I can’t… Continue reading On Painting Bedrooms and Dying Hamsters
