My last post was about anxiety. The one before that was about me being sentimental about my wonderful son. I need a change. I need to write something happy. (My son being three and great is happy, but has no humour.) In the case of today's short post, I'm going to write about my most …

Proud of my Kid
I started writing this almost a month ago, but kept leaving it while working on other things. Today, I came to write a completely different post, but they are close enough in subject that I can post them as one. A Photo by Kerry's Photography - taken for a Mommy Connections Mother's Day project. First …
Eff the Mom Guilt
I'm trying to write as much as I can, but I can't write everyday this month. I don't want to stress myself out, I just want to write. I'm feeling a lot of anxiety lately, and writing helps with that, but it doesn't have to be my blog. I'll my focusing on some journal writing …
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. …
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 …
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 …
