Iβve been doing a lot of reading lately (mini update: Iβm up to 42 for the year!! And Iβve started logging ALL my booksβ¦ will do a bigger update later). Because Iβve been in BookTok and StoryGraph communities a little more, I keep adding books other people are suggesting to my βto readβ list. ThereContinue reading “Everyone Has a Story”

Baby Scrapbook
Back in spring, I found out that my best friend of 21 years is pregnant. After the shock wore off, I realized I had to do something huge for her. Wellβ¦ not huge; meaningful. I thought about making a baby blanket like I have for a lot of my friendsβ kids. But knowing her family,Continue reading “Baby Scrapbook”
Monday Motivational Meeting
When I was in college, I was lucky to meet a lot of wonderful people. I didnβt meet anyone I truly connected with until the last couple of years when we were delving more into the details of engineering and spending a lot of time in the labs. As we realized our βfunβ time wasContinue reading “Monday Motivational Meeting”
Birthday Celebrations!
When my boyfriend and I first started talking, he told me he has never had anyone make a big deal about his birthday. He is used to planning everything himself and hasnβt ever been pamperedβ¦ so my goal this year is to change that. I picked 7 gifts that I knew he would like (5Continue reading “Birthday Celebrations!”
Non-billable Hours
I was thinking long and hard about what I would post this week. I knew it would be really full with clients. On a normal week, I try to see clients 3-4 days out of the week. It doesnβt seem like a lot, especially based off of a normal work day β but it is.Continue reading “Non-billable Hours”
Bad Day Remedies
Wednesday was a bad day. One of those days where I had to force myself to see the good things because there were so many little things going wrong. I could have easily dealt with one or two of these things happening, but itβs like I didnβt have time to recover. They werenβt even thatContinue reading “Bad Day Remedies”
Partner Patches
Iβm SO excited for this weekβs project. My friend Abbie helped me come up with the idea. We were out shopping at Lowes and saw a couple of guys wearing green cargo pants and polo shirts that had badges on them. I joked about the uniform being attractive and wanting to find a reason toContinue reading “Partner Patches”
Happy Hundredth!
Wow wow wow. When I started this blog last year, I just needed something to do to keep my mind off of life and what was going on in the world. I never expected to still be here 100 posts later. Honestly, I wasnβt sure if I should make a post about this or ifContinue reading “Happy Hundredth!”
HAPPY PRIDE!
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, EVERYONE!!!! I had a whole post planned for today. We just finished with our first hoarder this week and I wanted to share before and after pictures with you. Just as I was sitting down to write up that post, Andi (our friend/shirt designer) messaged me with a finalized Pride shirt designContinue reading “HAPPY PRIDE!”
Finger Painting (For Adults)
You might have noticed that there has been some time between βrealβ crafts. I got overwhelmed. When I let my craft space get messy, it blocks my creativity. The room I have all of my supplies in is small enough that a little mess can seem huge, especially when someone gives me boxes of suppliesContinue reading “Finger Painting (For Adults)”
