Always Learning
My daughter and I had a rough night last night. We’ve hit a sleep regression. The first real regression she’s ever had. She has always been an easy sleeper. She never needed us to stay in the room. She was always good at self soothing. It’s really been quite easy with few random night exceptions. Continue reading

This man…
My husband surprised me yesterday. The man never was a Disney Enthusiast the way I was, but after our honeymoon to Disneyland, he was hooked. In total, we have been to Disneyland 6 times together and Disney World twice. Now we have two more trips planned within the next six months. That will make a Continue reading

Fireworks for Independence Day
Neighbors all around me had illegal fireworks. It made it easy getting to watch them. We didn’t have to drive to the show and deal with traffic. We just sat on our back patio and watched them all around. My kid loved it. She sat in my lap for most the night watching them. She Continue reading

Daily Prompt 3
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I love myself as a mom. I feel like I’m still a kid, mentally, but that I was forced to grow up in some aspects… Grow up in the best ways. I’m suddenly someone’s default role model and I have to try to forgive myself for not being perfect. Continue reading

Dad’s Day: Just Another Day
My husband’s Father’s Day was rather uneventful. That’s what happens when you’re broke. That damned airfare really messed with our finances. I’m not used to purchasing for 3 people. Anyways, we ended up at In N Out. The entire meal was more mediocre than usual. I had what was supposed to be a chocolate milkshake. Continue reading

Daily Prompt 2
How do you want to retire? This prompt irritates me, and after thinking about it, I believe it’s because retirement doesn’t even seem possible anymore. I think I will be working until the day I die. If I were to retire, I would be young, with enough money for my kid to still live comfortably, Continue reading
