Battle of Wills.

Oh my but it feels good to be typing again.  A small window of feeling semi awake, baby sleeping, toddler off with her dad doing errands.  It’s the trifecta that gives me a few moments of peace and me time. After, doing dishes, washing baby stuff, general tidying, etc – then it’s me time. While my [...]

Missed opportunity.

Strapped up a breast pump we arrived too little too late for the local Farmers Market here in Coupeville, Wa. Here’s the view of where I SHOULD have been! Ah well, motherhood calls… Luckily, there’s two others tomorrow I’ll try to hit!

The older gentleman I saw power walking  a few days ago.  Arms swinging high.  This man was old school – no spandex, no lycra, no wicking fabrics but he was keeping it real and I say “You go with your bad self!”  There was no shame in his vigorous arm swinging game he was out [...]

My Fellow Americans: We Have A Problem.

And while there are ALL sorts of people, places, things, etc that we can point the blame to at this point in time that finger-pointing also needs to be pointing at ourselves.
