Earlier this week I cried to Mr. BMM. I can't imagine that I'm the only one out there that cried at any point over the last month. I cried because life changed drastically. My old normal no longer exists. Nobody knows when our old normal will return, if it ever will return completely. After I … Continue reading My New Normal is Ok

Hello Extra Hour of Sleep
Making sleep my #1 priority over everything else has been one of the best decisions I made recently. This weekend we turn our clocks back an hour so I get an extra hour of sleep! Hello pillow!

Minimize: Fall To Do Lists
Personally I find it easy to over do things. This year I tried to carefully curate a list of fall to do items. Some are basically necessary and others are lingering tasks that I always think about doing. But basically these tasks that take between 30 seconds and 30 minutes. I refuse to ruin a … Continue reading Minimize: Fall To Do Lists
Minimize: Allergies are the Best
Allergies are the best. Stay with me. My allergies forced me to find alternatives for many things. In finding the alternatives, let's just say I saved money too!

It literally cleans that lingering puppy fart smell.  Another fun option is a mason jar with … Continue reading Minimize: Allergies are the Best
