Observations on Life

When life gets in the way of blogging

July 13, 2012

I think one of the worst things a blogger can do is get to the point in their blogging career where you feel obligated to post and apologetic if you don’t. If you’ve been doing this for any length of time, I guarantee you’ll go through this if you haven’t already. It’s where balance is [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Haven’t We Met Before?

May 20, 2012

Life is an experience, isn’t it? In a week, I’ve started to normalize. I have internet (thank God). I have a refrigerator and a washer and dryer. We still need the microwave but haven’t really missed it that much. And I’ve gotten enough unpacking done that it’s starting to feel good to go out and [...]

#VlogMom: Yes, I have a character flaw

May 17, 2012

I may be down but I’m not out. Through the magic of my iPhone, 3G uploads to YouTube, and my husband’s wifi hotspot, I’m back this week for a quick #VlogMom. When I watched Erin’s (@ErinCLane) video this morning (because I was out of the loop on the topic), I thought I HAVE to do [...]

I heard the word homemaker…

May 9, 2012

If you’ve been blogging for any length of time and if you’ve earned income, you’ve probably started making some appropriate declarations on your income tax return. They may be a little painful but legally, it’s what we have to do. If we’re making any sort of money blogging, we have to claim it as income [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: The Story of a Man

May 6, 2012

So many things on my mind tonight. When I sit down to write my post for next Sunday, I will officially be living in Maryland. I still don’t see how it’s all going to get done especially with me fielding some sort of upper respiratory ailment and lower back pain. But it will get done [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Rearranging My Life

April 29, 2012

The house has officially sold. It’s a done deal. We closed on Friday and officially turned the deed over to someone else. But we haven’t moved yet. We’re renting our own house for the next 2 weeks. It feels a little weird because it doesn’t feel like someone else’s house. But at least the first [...]

Keep It To Yourself, Please

April 16, 2012

My, how technology has changed. I’ll admit I’m the first to love the technology in our lives, especially when it comes to my cellular telephone, my mobile technology, or what we simply refer to nowadays as my phone. Because we each have our own phones. Our own numbers. A direct line to us. To me. [...]

#VlogMom: Life is full of embarrassing moments

April 12, 2012

No product hawking with my VlogMom videos. Just a fun topic and some conversation. I’m trying to keep these short and sweet – two minutes or less. But as many of you know, I’m wordy, whether I’m talking or writing. This week, Erin from A Parenting Production asks us to share an embarrassing moment. Why [...]

I’ve never had a best friend

March 14, 2012

I’ve never had a best friend. I’m not saying that so you’ll feel sorry for me. It’s just a realization that I’ve had over and over and over again in my life. When you’re young, you usually have a friend. One little girl that always comes over. You spend the night at each other’s houses. [...]

Things I Didn’t Expect to Learn at BlissDom ’12

February 28, 2012

I’m a blog conference veteran. Doesn’t mean I know everything about everything when it comes to blogging and conferences but after a while you do start to get a sense of confidence and security. A bit of the “been there, done that” mentality. And I kind of went to BlissDom with a bit of that [...]
