A New, Fun Life Hack: The Monthly Reflection

This is a new habit I am adding in this year: the end of month reflection. I was surfing Pinterest last week, while I had all that time in bed with covid. Of course, it is Pinterest, so I found tons of cool things and new blogs to read. Side note: Did you know almost all of Pinterest is blog posts? Yep. It’s the number one place to search out blog posts on any topic. When there’s something you need help with, Pinterest and YouTube are the places to be. It’s just important to take all those perfectionist Pinterest images […]

What Covid was Like at Our House in May 2022

I say “what covid WAS like at our house” loosely. The fact is that it is still IN our house. Today is the 3rd Sunday since we found out we were sharing our home with the Rona.

So no, moves aren’t perfect. However, you never know what it is that will go wrong, so you always plan for perfection. The plan and the checklist are for the (laughably) perfect move.

Township Game Review: Addictive, Easy, and Family Friendly

Honest Township Game Review Upfront: This game is probably my favorite app on my phone. Township is fun, easy, and family friendly. You can play it while watching t.v., talking on the phone, and hanging out with family. Your whole family can download it and create a co-op together. I love this app. But Township can be addictive. For me. My children all played for a year and quit without a second thought, but I find it very addictive. In truth, I have several apps that were too addictive for me, so maybe this is a personal problem. But this […]
