Want Some Good News?
I have a story to share with you. Dreams come true. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible! In my 20's, I heard this sort of rhetoric all of the time in popular culture and thought it was true. Maybe it is, but not for everyone. Over the years, my motto has shifted. Last… Continue reading Want Some Good News?
If “America is Family,” What Does That Mean for Me?
This week has been a strange mixture of happiness, contentment, and hope, as well as one filled with fear, sadness, shock. I am still processing. A few days ago, I experienced the joy of receiving two care packages for our family; one was filled with homemade food (vegetarian soup, sourdough bread, and chocolate chip cookies),… Continue reading If “America is Family,” What Does That Mean for Me?
Isolation Day 4
Ireland recently entered its third lockdown. According to an article I read last autumn, we have some of the strictest restrictions in the world. In fact, the study found that the measures imposed byΒ NPHET and the Irish Government are tougher than any seen in the whole of Europe, Asia, Australia, America, Canada and the majority… Continue reading Isolation Day 4

I don't have any big blogging goals or even New Year's Resolutions. I just want to keep writing… Continue reading Day One
My Top Fives of the Year
Each December I try to participate in reflective end of year blog challenges. I didn't have time this month because of other commitments. My goal for 2021 is to show up more frequently here but post shorter content. I was inspired reading a post by Claire Lomax, author of Our Favourite Jar, and wanted to… Continue reading My Top Fives of the Year
WIP Wednesday- Harry Styles Cardigan
Hello! It's been over a month since my last post. Life has been hectic leading up to the holidays. I've also been volunteering a lot of hours in an effort to keep my son's preschool open, leaving not much free time. (It's a Waldorf inspired, parent-run kindergarten where I've become heavily involved). Days go by… Continue reading WIP Wednesday- Harry Styles Cardigan

WIP Wednesday: Election Knitting
Anyone else feeling on edge? My anxiety dreams leading up to the election were pretty intense. Last night I stayed up most of the night watching CNN. When I finally went to bed after Trump declared victory, I felt depressed and despondent. Thankfully I woke up to better news. At this moment Biden has 253… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: Election Knitting
