A Short Visit

April 3, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

What a super Sunday! This had been a great day and a great weekend! Today my parents drove over for a little visit and to bring us a few things we still had left at the house, etc. It was so good to see them! I had the whole day planned. First my dad brought his saw so we could saw boards for the attic to put more of our crap on. Then we went to our new favorite Mexican restaurant for some lunch. We came home and went for a nice walk along the nature trail, and then sat upstairs on the balcony and had brownies and ice cream.

It is an absolutely beautiful day. Sunny and warm but with a nice cool breeze blowing!

Doesn’t my mom look 30? I hope I look half as good as her when I am 55!

Bobby chooses to take his life into his own hands and sit on the railing. Scares me every time.

We had a bumble bee visitor and my dad was trying to whack it with the fly swatter. The bee was taunting us. It would never get close enough!

They left about 2:30 and I was sad. Good thing about having visitors, it was a good excuse to clean my house, so now it’s all tidy! Also I am happy we got the boards down in the attic so now we can finish unpacking the bonus room and get the boxes into the attic!

Now Bobby is snoring on the couch and I am making a list of things I need to do for work tomorrow. Busy busy! Hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am!

P.S. Can you believe we have been in our house a MONTH?

    Aw I love time with my parents! I only seem them maybe once a month, because they are 3 hours away, and I miss them so much! Looks like you had such a fun day with your mom and dad 🙂

    I usually see them about once or twice a week. They live about 15 minutes away from where I do. I used to live 10 HOURS away though!

    You look just like your mom!

    I LOVE you porch! I can only imagine how amazing it will be when your yard is all grown in and such!

    Right now I see my mom a lot – usually at least once a month. However, we are working our way toward a move that will take us states away. I think that will take some adjusting. No more “hey, I’m bored, lets hang out” planning with my mom. I didn’t realize it before we seriously considered the move, but yeah, I’m a mommy’s girl!

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
