Can’t sleep? Daytime sleeper? Racing Mind? There’s a nap for that. (Get it? Nap, App? Nothing?) Fine. I sleep like crap. I love sleep, I yearn for sleep. I write it love notes I love it so much. A little background on why I’m grouchy: When I started working nights I had a hard time sleeping during the day, I hung up black out curtains and started a white noise regimen. After nearly 15 years of working nights I transitioned to working days and boy does that suck. My circadian rhythm is all out of whack and it’s been 4 years of adjustment. For most of my work life I…

This year I learned that it’s essential to use a Stand Up Paddle Board Leash when paddling in the ocean and common sense to use one else I paddle too! A little back story, every year my family makes a pilgrimage to Yosemite for some much-needed R&R. This year there was snow on the ground and temperatures around 30 degrees which is not ideal or even sane for tent campers. We willed the weather to change and prayed for warmth but as the 24 hour departure time creeped closer we mounted the white flag to signify our surrender. My husband managed to book a last-minute spot at Dana Point campgrounds…

Spending my days with 4-year-old Alice means I am ALWAYS trying to find things for us to do. One of our favorite things is ART!!!

When we bought our house back in 1985 we thought we hit the jackpot! Such a cute little house in a great neighborhood with fantastic neighbors. Our house is only blocks away from the grade school and the high school. Since 1985 our home has gone through a lot of changes. The kids all grew up and moved into their own homes. Our house went from wallpaper to paint. From carpet to tile. Old bathrooms to updated bathrooms. Room addition to house so my Mom could be close. Many, many great changes!! One change we haven’t been happy with is the neighborhood. MAN oh MAN has the neighborhood changed. NOT…
