I’m Baaaaack

I always said I wouldn’t write if I didn’t have anything interesting to say, but to say I haven’t had anything interesting happen in months would be a lie. I do this really fun thing were I neglect things that bring me joy. Early on in this blog, it was absolutely cathartic for me. ItContinue reading “I’m Baaaaack”

When I Grow Up

What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s a question we ask kids all the time. Their answers are ever changing based on whatever holds their interest at the moment. My five year old has almost always wanted to be something that involves working with animals. I mean, the kid watches NationalContinue reading “When I Grow Up”

A Mom but with Anxiety

I swear I use to be fun. I know I did. I feel like in a former life, I was the life of the party. You always hear that being a mom changes you, but I know for a damn fact that I was NOT prepared for the insane amount of weird anxiety and fearContinue reading “A Mom but with Anxiety”

Resolutions and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves

Well ladies and gentlemen, we’ve made it to day two of the new year. How is it going so far? Did you make any resolutions? In true Jordan fashion, I didn’t set any resolutions until today because I like to procrastinate. In recent years, I’ve given up on setting goals that create a significant amountContinue reading “Resolutions and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves”

Spend Smart

If you’re spending literally any amount of time on the internet right now, you’re well aware of how hard this year has been on everyone, well, almost everyone (looking at you Jeff Bezos). I don’t want to talk trash about Amazon because I, like many people, always seem to end up with their boxes onContinue reading “Spend Smart”

The Move

I keep seeing memes or hearing people talk about using 2020 as a cuss word. That seems pretty accurate. Before COVID-19, there were fires, and now with COVID-19 it’s all anyone can think about. I know personally, I’m forever second guessing myself, questioning if what I’m doing is right. The cancer diagnosis made me putContinue reading “The Move”

Adventure Fund

I frustrate myself. I like nice things. I naturally pick out the most expensive item before seeing the price tag. I typically find myself quickly disappointed that I’m settling for something I like a little less. My budget and my expectations are never in sync with one another. To complicate my standards more, I haveContinue reading “Adventure Fund”

Sitting Still

When is it okay to be content with your life? We say it like it’s a bad thing. We say it like being content means we’re not striving for better, or we’re settling. Why do we say all of these things like it means we’re giving up on life? Instead of looking at things likeContinue reading “Sitting Still”

October

Each month calls for us to bring our attention to areas we feel need extra support. A lot of these we know, especially when they stem around cancer. October, for example, is breast cancer awareness month. This is the time of year we see numerous events and campaigns happening to raise awareness and funds toContinue reading “October”
