Welcome to my cozy little Blog—a place where I unapologetically untangle my thoughts, parade my so-called wisdom, and occasionally drop nuggets of information you didn’t ask for. Insightful musings? Random ramblings? I’ll write, you decide.

I can’t fake sewing
I spent 4 hours today making Evelyn a lovey blanket. I don’t really know anything about sewing but every so often I get a wild hair and try to be crafty. Being crafty gives me high anxiety! It took me 7 days to talk myself into tackling the job and then I walked away from it several times today… even watching 4 episodes of suit’s in between getting it done. The things you do for a grandchild!

Sparking an Interest
I bought Danny a National Geographic magazine about dinosaurs today. It was filled with captivating pictures, historical facts, maps, and information about different species. Despite knowing that he can't read, I still gave it to him in hopes of catching his attention. At first, he declined the offer, but as soon as I opened it up and showed him what was inside, he eagerly took the book. He started flipping through the pages, asking me questions and pointing out things he recognized. However, when his mom said it was time to leave he looked at me and asked if he could take the book home because he wasn't finished with it yet. When he walked out, he had the magazine tucked safely under the same arm he was carrying his stuffed dinosaur in.
The moral of this story is that in today's society, where video games and TV shows dominate, many kids lack a love for reading. However, by introducing books on subjects that truly interest them, we can spark a love for reading in them.

Don’t let me go out looking like a wuss!!
I hope when I inevitably choke to death on one of these gummy bears people just say I was killed by bears and leave it at that.
