Greetings friends, from the land of the bed-couch. Yes, that’s right; it is that time of year again where we drag our spare-bedroom mattress into the living room, place it between both couches, in front of the Christmas tree, and basically live on it for the next few weeks. Does that make us slobs? Yes. […]
Closing the door on another chapter.
Have you even sat in a place where you know why everyone is there? Like the DMV, for example, you know everyone is there to renew tabs, get a license, fill out paperwork, basically waste four hours of their life. Try sitting in a fertility clinic as a self-proclaimed people watcher. Lately, I’ve been spending […]
The post; Three years in the making ❤️🌈☘️
Revision – four-hundred and ninety-two. That might be a stretch but then again maybe not. This post is something I have dreamt about writing for years. When I wrote all of my words below, I was in such a good headspace; excited, joyful, slightly anxious but nothing major. Flash forward to today, right now, and […]
Quality > Quantity; A letter to my past, present, and future friends

The base of that triangle is the largest, and as you travel up the triangle, the sections get smaller and smaller, representing […]

“How did you know he was the one?”
February is the month for love and I am lucky enough to be surrounded with love. However, my take on “the one true love” is something you might not expect. While I have been happily married for eleven years, I am still not sure, he is my one true love. Check out my most recent post to find out more. <3
2018 all wrapped up and decorated with a bow.
Here we are again, another blog post; another “It’s been too long” sentence to start this post. But let’s be honest, that’s my life at the moment. It has been my life pretty much all of 2018. This time last year I was feeling optimistic, energetic, excited about where life was headed. And today, days […]

I’m a “nurse” but for your lungs | Life as a Respiratory Therapist
It is officially Respiratory Care Week, and like many years there are tons of post floating around, written by other respiratory therapists (RTs) explaining what our exact job entails.
