Put on the Jeans

February 9, 2022February 8, 2022 sarahjmeares

Some days are harder than others. I’m sure most humans can relate to that not-so-novel statement. The most recent occurrence for me was Monday. When I look back on it with renewed eyes, I can see that nothing bad happened on that day. Oddly.... nothing. bad. happened. The kids were at their schools on time,… Continue reading Put on the Jeans

Yesterday I was not my best me. I was not even a decent me. I was a low patience, snippy, sour, sad human. I know that we cannot always be at the top of our game, but my family deserves better than what I gave them yesterday. As I was wallowing in my regret over… Continue reading Yesterday

Okay, I'll admit it. I am usually about 6 months - 1 year behind the trends. I'm that person who gets so excited to score a trendy item on clearance only to realize that it was trendy last year and nobody is wearing that particular item anymore. I see you gladiator sandals!
