It’s obvious, but it needs to be said; living things turn a house into a home. Family, pets, and in my opinion, plants! I’m not religious, but I do believe in surrounding yourself with life. The force connects us all! Ahem, sorry…
At the beginning of this year, I Marie Kondoed the shit out of our home.
First, I must apologize. It has been three weeks since the last post. I woke up today with the knowledge that I was at the edge of quitting. I know this because I live my life poised on the precipice of, “Oh well, I guess that’s over.” I am a quitter. Maybe you are too?
That is how it happens. It’s not intentional. It’s just the slow snowballing of inaction. Eventually, that snowball grows so big it pushes you right off the Cliff of Quitters, where you fall to a cold death submerged in your own failure. Continue reading A Quitter and Her Fear of Vulnerability

I’m in my early thirties. In 2015, I got married. In 2016, we bought our first home (a two-bedroom, town-home). The year after that, we had our first child. In 2018, my goal is to become awesome at all this #adulting. My story is painfully average. Life is good, but money is tight. Choices are limited, and responsibilities can feel heavy. I’d like to use this blog to navigate my basic bitch existence.
