Ok, from my brief research it would seem that it's heavily debated as to whether or not microwaves are harmful to your health. I can't say I've done enough research to know all there is to know on the topic. Not by a long shot. All I know is this: most of my "crunchiest" friendsContinue reading "A Month With No Microwave"
How To “Polish A Turd”
We knew from before we moved in that our main bath was in need of some intense TLC. When I put up a sneak peak post on Facebook and had the nerve to refer to this as a "remodel", I was quickly reminded by my husband that this was no remodel. Derek wanted NOTHING moreContinue reading "How To “Polish A Turd”"
A “Red Wave” Isn’t What We Need
As I watch tragedy after tragedy unfold before my eyes, I want to scream. It feels unfair. It feels wrong. It feels so incredibly unjust. Our president has made decisions that have caused, are causing, and will continue to cause so much pain and suffering. It feels like such a helpless thing to watch. IContinue reading "A “Red Wave” Isn’t What We Need"
Afghanistan Tragedy: This Average American’s Point of View
I have no military experience, no political expertise, and though I've read many articles and opinions, my research is still quite limited. I won't pretend to understand half of what's going on right now in Afghanistan or the White House, for that matter. I'm not saying we shouldn't have ultimately withdrawn from Afghanistan. I'm gladContinue reading "Afghanistan Tragedy: This Average American’s Point of View"
MN to NC: Wrong Turns, Basement Floods, and Monster Spiders
This is a journal of sorts. So sometimes (like today, for instance) it’ll just be random stories and memories I’ll want to look back on. Sometimes it’s not going to follow any particular pattern or connect to the previous blog... I’m just trying to fill you in on the interesting parts of this adventure. YouContinue reading "MN to NC: Wrong Turns, Basement Floods, and Monster Spiders"
MN to NC: Reno Update!!!
OK, y’all! So, I know it’s been a minute since I gave an update. It becomes a wee bit of a problem when you move into your house but can’t get internet to it for a couple weeks. (Though... that has a beautifully disconnected upside as well, I must say). Anyway, I’m currently “phone blogging”Continue reading "MN to NC: Reno Update!!!"
MN to NC: My DIY (Destroy It Yourself) Project!
Some people in this life are complete and total DIY (Do It Yourself) champs. They look, they see, they grab the necessary supplies and they CONQUER! People like my husband, for example. He can do everything. One little Youtube tutorial and they absolutely crush it! But did you ever run across someone that really WANTEDContinue reading "MN to NC: My DIY (Destroy It Yourself) Project!"
MN to NC: The Big Day Is Finally Here!
Today is a BIG day, y'all! Like a huge day! Today was the day we closed on our house!!!! And maybe let's just talk about today. We could just skip the craziness of everything leading up to today. Let's not talk about the fact that we were supposed to close Thursday, leaving us a fourContinue reading "MN to NC: The Big Day Is Finally Here!"
MN to NC: Adventures In The Waiting
This has probably been one of the strangest summers of my life. What was supposed to be two weeks at my grandparents home in North Carolina before moving to our home in Tennessee, has turned into two MONTHS at my grandparents home while we house hunted, finally found and are now waiting to close onContinue reading "MN to NC: Adventures In The Waiting"
White Guilt And The Gospel
Ok, yeah... I gotta step out there and hit on a few social/political issues every now and then. I haven't touched a whole lot on racism/CRT/white privilege. I'm a wee bit late to this game, but it's such a complex topic and I don't want to speak out of turn or in ignorance. And I'mContinue reading "White Guilt And The Gospel"
