This Unfamiliar Road

Woohoooooo!!! I have made it! Ok, I know I didn't technically blog every single day in May. I did play catch up (which really just means I did double or triple duty in one day!) and I posted about every topic. So I am proud.  While I will probably miss the writing prompts, I am glad this is over :) Day 31: A...

On the home stretch, folks. I have almost completed the challenge! Day 30: React to this term: Letting Go I need to...let go. I beat myself up about not being perfect. Which is silly. Nobody is perfect, and I don't really strive to be perfect, honestly. But every time I fail at something-anything-I am pretty bummed...

Yesterday, we enjoyed a treat for the eyes...and today, it's a treat for the ears! Let's get this challenge on! Day 29: Five songs that speak to you or bring back memories. So many of my memories are tied to a song, so come with me on another trip down memory lane :) 1999- Prince There is a home video of my Dad and...

A little treat for the eyes on today's topic for the challenge!  Day 28: Only pictures Ok I'm cheating a little...I need some explanation to go along. I have SO many pictures, so I'm choosing (at random) ONE from each album on my computer! Enjoy...   The hubs and me-Senior Prom (from Andi&Ben album) 21st...

We're almost there...Day 17 in our Blog Every Day in May challenge! Day 27: A letter to your readers To my Faithful Few, Thanks for sticking around! I started this blog less than three years ago as a way to keep up with friends and family who live far away. Each time I posted, I became more and more excited about...

Today's topic is up for interpretation on our challenge!  Day 26: Something you read online. Leave a link and discuss, if you'd like. Ummmm, what do I read online?  I don't routinely read news articles-I honestly don't have time so I leave it to TV and radio. Well, I read blogs. But you probably already...

First of all, I can't believe it's already the end of May! Where did this month go? We are almost to the end of our challenge...hang with me! Day 25: Something someone told you about yourself that you'll never forget. So, I've written a lot about what it's like to be a nurse. I've been brutally honest at times. I...

Everyone has flaws...time to learn more about mine on today's Blog Every Day in May challenge. Day 24: Your top 3 worst traits. It's really hard to identify my own flaws. Believe me, I know I have them-it's just difficult to sit down and think "What are my worst traits?" I thought an outsider perspective would work... Me:...

Back for another day of Blog Every Day in May challenge. Day 23: Things you've learned that school won't teach you. 1. Stack the odds in your favor. I actually gathered this piece of advice from a relative shortly before venturing off to college. Life is certainly unpredictable, but set yourself up for success....

It was so special to celebrate my first Mother's Day this year! I was just getting over an awful sinus infection/bad reaction to antibiotics, so it was nice to be in the land of the living again.  Ben got up extra early and prepared a wonderful breakfast and I got to enjoy my first-ever Mother's Day breakfast in...

Listen up...it's time for me to get on my soapbox today in our challenge!  Day 22: Rant about something. Get on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel. I think everyone has frustrations about work. Let's face it, no job is perfect.  I work as a mother/baby nurse, so I have the awesome opportunity to...
