Productivity at home and challenging chores

January is clearly over, so Bloganuary is over as well, but I did like this blog prompt even if I didn’t post about it on time!

Finding bravery as an adult

Bloganuary prompt day two is “how are you brave?” I’m just on a pit stop on our drive home from the holidays up North with family and took a look at the prompt.

In 2020 I started my Coffee date catch up posts as a way to connect a bit with my readers and to reflect on my own thoughts and experiences from the last little while.

I wanted to make a trueContinue reading “Re-Humanizing health care”

Looking for community amongst other blog readers

How many times in a day do you want to do things and just can’t get the energy to do it? Before I get too far into this post I must clarify- I KNOW that the “energy” I’m talking about is actually my struggle with executive functioning. If you’re new to my blog, my nameContinue reading “Looking for community amongst other blog readers”

Book Review: The Big Worry Day
