Facets of November 2019 ~ Monthly Digest

Ever since I turned 30, November has become this sort of looming cloud of confusion. I was always a birthday freak. I loved celebrating my birthday! Heck, I always thought that my birthday should be a national holiday. That’s the type of girl I was. Fast forward to now, I crave something more than cake and presents. This month I explored what genuinely celebrating me could feel like… Of Momming I have a full fledged little person. Not to be confused with a child. Because a child would require some level of momming. No. This kid is an adult on…

Facets of October 2019 – Monthly Digest

October almost made me want to hide under a rock and preferably disappear. There were not enough hours in the day, days in the month (even though this month has 31 days) I found myself feeling like I was becoming a machine and just basically going and going, doing task after task. Life was so noisy this month. Just things happening everywhere! I am craving for November because it promises to go on my terms. Of Momming This kid is a sponge. I always knew it, but it is so crazy obvious that he is watching, learning and cataloguing everything. …

Facets of July 2019 ~ Monthly Digest

I used to think that to begin something new. It needed to be January, or Monday, or first thing in the morning. I am without fail full of ideas of new projects I want to do. Things I want to start and then I follow those thoughts with, I’m going to start in the new year, next week, in the morning. Why you ask? Because I essentially feel – not ready. I have been toying with the idea of a monthly digest, a recap and reflections piece. But the thought of regular blog updates terrified me. What if I don’t…

One month of missed moments…

In the last month I’ve missed so much sitting in my cubicle. Every day I’ve called to check up on you during my fifteen, half and fifteen. Each call gave me an update of your daily routine. “He’s eating his oatmeal now” “He’s making a huge mess of my kitchen now… Oh.. He dropped a potato” “He won’t step on the grass, he doesn’t like how the blades of grass prick him” These little status updates keep me going from one break to another, sometimes making my day go by at a snail’s pace because I want to get my…
