Today’s Task

On my list of challenges for myself this month, I have one on decluttering and another on making being happy. (It's easy. You just BE HAPPY.) I did two of those in one. Obviously, none of these ideas I'm using have specifically said the one I'm about to share, but it felt really good to …

Being Better

Today's post has changed a number of times throughout the day. I didn't have a lot of time to do anything other than be a momma today. I was planning to do a decluttering post, but didn't have time for any of it. I've chosen a prompt that suits the day. Write about an area …

April Plans

It's a new month, which means I've made more writing goals for myself. As well as more life plans. What's life without goals? I plan to blog everyday again this month, but it's going to be a bit different. I'll be doing shorter posts so I can focus on other writing at the same time. …

I Did It

I did it. I've written one post per day for a month. I chose the shortest month. I'm okay with that. If I start slacking in my blogging again, I'll get back to writing every day in a different month. I plan to post twice a week here for the next little while. Except for …

Where I’m from

I want to write about my hometown. I grew up in a small town. (Just like the song.) I think the proper name is actually a village. The town had a population of about 200 people. My graduating class has 28 kids. I think it was 28. The school I went to was in my …

Screen Time

I have to tell everybody a secret. I let my son have screen time. We don't have a television upstairs, and that's where we spend most of our time, so he doesn't get it constantly (although he wouldn't even if our television was upstairs), but every once in a while, he gets to watch something …

Letter to myself in 10 years

Dear Erin, Hi friend. I think we've finally gotten to a place where I would be proud to be your friend. I sometimes look at us in the past, and I'm honestly not sure if we would be friends. Not because of your age, but because you weren't in the same place, and at times …

Breastfeeding

I had a momma friend suggest I write this post. It was a great suggestion, and she pointed a few things out that I didn't think about. I knew breastfeeding in public was hard, but I always put the issues on myself. I need to be clear that this post isn't about choosing breastfeeding over …

A little More About Me

This wasn't today's planned post, or even a post I had planned for the month, but it's been a busy week, so I'm going to find some questions to answer about myself. It's a get to know me post. I'm answering seven questions. It's a random amount, and I'm okay with that. I just found …

Parenting gratitude

I'm having a good time with my son lately. I still get frustrated. I'm still exhausted a lot. I'm working on that, but he's been so fun lately. I really like this age. I love listening to his sentences, and the new words he's trying. I love watching him try new things. I loves seeing …
