Being as real as I can
Since becoming a mom, I've wanted to be honest about the realities of motherhood. Actually, I want to be real about the realities of life. I've never had a picture perfect life, and I don't want to pretend I do. I frankly find picture perfect to be a bit boring. That's not to say I …
Back to my blog
It's been much more than a week since my last blog post. I took a break, and now it's time to get back to it. I went so hard on February that I've had trouble getting back into writing this month. The month is almost over. I'm still trying to write everyday, but it's not …
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 …
Winter days
I'm not positive if I've explained how I've been posting every day. I started off the month trying to be ahead by two posts at a time. Unfortunately, life happens, and I wasn't able to keep it up. For the most part, I get the post ready the night before. Usually late the night before. …
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 …
My Week
I'm a day late writing this, but I kind of like the idea of sharing it on Saturday anyway. That way I can get the entire week in. The weather was a bit nicer this week so we were able to actually get outside, and were quite a bit happier. Really happy. I don't think …
Letter to my Teenage self
Dear Erin, It's been a long time since we've spoken. Deciding to write to my teenage self is vague so I've decided to write to you at 18. This time, 20 years ago, I was 18. I turned 19 in September. I've been thinking about you at that age anyway. I just got all the …
