Reflecting on a New Year

January 22, 2023

A few weeks ago I posted this anti-resolution on my personal Instagram feed. As I sit in solitude on my birthday weekend in a lovely cabin in the middle of the rural Willamette Valley wine country, I’m inspired to post some mid-life mama musings on this long-forgotten blog. The last few months, well, if I’m […]

On Turning 40: Our Parent’s Generation vs Our Generation

January 22, 2020

It was a different era when our parents turned 40. It was full of the color black and over-the-hill jokes. But I’ve noticed something has shifted in our generation as we approach the older ages. New cliches have arose; we say things like, ’40 is the new 30,’ ‘Age is just a number,’ ‘Life begins at […]

My New Year’s New DECADE Family Bucket List

January 4, 2020

Do you make a New Year’s resolution? Seems like the bigger ones are usually about weight, working out, less screen time, or kicking a bad habit. I’m not much of a resolution maker, but there’s something about a new year that feels fresh and blank, and it only seems fitting to make some plans, set […]

The Wonderful World of Tampon/Padless Periods – Sileu Cup Review

November 7, 2019

Sileu approached me to review their menstrual cup. I received a Sileu Rose Travel Pack in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Okay, I know what you’re thing; “ew,” but hey, we’re women. We have to think about these things. The average woman begins menstruating around the age of 12, and […]
