Please forgive me for the forthcoming post. It’s just a Monday, you know? It’s ordinary, and I’ll be at work for a huge chunk of the day, and that’s that. If that’s all you can stand to read about Monday, I humbly suggest that you skip ahead to the last paragraph. Laughs await via the…

Clearing Off the Shelves: Library Edition
Sometimes, even the library goes through its shelves and gets rid of things that haven’t been used in forever. Today I get to do some of that. It isn’t quite as fun as getting rid of things I don’t need at home, but it’s pretty awesome for different reasons. My favorite part of the job…

The End of an Era (and Fresh Paint)
I’ve loved being a stay-at-home wife for the past several months. It gave me a chance to start my Etsy shop, to paint more, to cook relaxed meals, and to just feel at peace. But every season has its end, right? Sometimes while I was feeling at peace, I also felt like a bum. Sometimes…
Small, but valuable.
