Life & Musings
That’s Life…
What would a personal blog be without a some life musings? In this section I tend to get a little, well… personal. It features a range of topics from mom-life and spring cleaning, to attempting to live in the moment, and plenty of hilarity in between…
My Train of Thought Always Offers a Crazy Ride So Buckle Up…
I suppose normal people have a train of thought that chugs along in a straight line. Mine, on the other hand, looks more like a rollercoaster with lots of loops, sharp turns and a sporadic layout. And probably the conductor, and anyone along for the ride, scream in...
10 Things I’ve Learned During My Decade of Motherhood
Motherhood is no cakewalk - unless that cakewalk happens to also be in a field full of landmines. Every time you think you’ve figured something out, and you’ve earned yourself a seat – it all blows up in your face. Boom…! And lemme tell you, I just stepped onto a...
Pivot! Why a Change in Direction Can be a Good Thing
Pivot…!!! If you just read that and had a mental image of Ross wrestling a huge couch on a stairwell, we’re kindred spirits, for sure. (Hi, my name’s Rachel, and I’m a Friends addict…) This image totally comes to mind when I hear the word “pivot” and sometimes I think...

Why Scheduling Time with Friends is so Important
My younger self had absolutely no idea how difficult adulting could really be… I guess when we’re young we don’t realize that many of the coveted (and so called) “adult freedoms” also come with an equally, or larger dose, of responsibilities. Now that I’m a grown-ass...
Why You Should Have a Secret Stash of Cash
Do you have a “hidey-hole”? (If you read that and did a double take, get your mind out of the gutter… That’s not where I’m going with this, haha.) How about some “mad money” set aside? Or a “cash stash” perhaps? For some reason, my family refers to this as their...
Vintage Values – What I Learned from Glass Gems and Fake Gold
When was the last time you dressed to the nines? To be quite honest, I personally can’t recall. I work from home and my favorite article of clothing is a hoodie. In fact, as I type this, I’m currently sporting a sweatshirt and leggings (that probably have cat hair on...
