Ylang Ylang essential oil has a permanent spot on my nightstand, inhaling this oil lessens tension and stress plus promotes positive feelings. However, that's not the reason it stays on my nightstand- weather your having fun alone or with a partner it adds a little warmth to spice things up. Interested in learning a bit [...]
I'm going to get honest first thing, I don't do Valentine’s day. My kids of course get to buy/make Valentine’s- before the chronic illness came crashing in I would have sewn the girls matching outfits. If your new here, Im Amy, and used to be one of those Pinterest/crafty moms before health issues changed the [...]

First off I’d like to say that I’m not the mom in the drop off line who has her shit together. My kids are now scrambling around for masks as I’m pushing them out of the van. I’m not literally pushing my kids out of the van, Karen but, after all the virtual learning we’ve [...]
During this global pandemic I've found solace and comfort in my hobbies such as reading, sewing and crafting. Reading is always a good thing and I want my children to see me reading, which I truly believe has helped inspire, especially my oldest, the love of reading. I have never been part of an actual [...]
Like most people I've been more than ready to kiss 2020 goodbye. For the past few days though, I couldn't help but wonder if parts of last year we're actually answers to some of my prayers. After having my open heart surgery in 2019, having many prayers answered I was afraid I had run out [...]
My next favorite ”Get better soon!”, well meaning maybe but, that's not how chronic illness works. I've seen blog posts on this topic, I've seen peoples thoughts on social media, and now have first-hand experience on how many judge-y assholes there are in the world.

Thrifting may be different for everyone but, for me thrifting is yard sales, garage sales, peddlers malls, flea markets, Facebook marketplace, road side finds and since COVID getting goodies from my favorite local thrifters.
