The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
This past Tuesday I turned 43 years old, y’all! And it was the BEST DAY EVER! For starters, we got to have a snow day around here. That meant I got to take it easy and hang out with my little familia all day! Aria woke up way too early because she was excited to... Continue Reading →
On my way to the breakroom to fill up my water cup, I passed by a coworker waiting for the elevator: Me: Good morning! Him: Good morning! How are you doing today? Me: I'm doing good. How about you? Him: I'm doing fabulous, but not as fabulous as you. You've got the fabulous outfit. You're... Continue Reading →
Last year right about this time, I was broken. I lost who I thought I was. I lost my muchness. I allowed others to dull my shine because I was looking for validation. I started 2022 just trying to keep my head above the water and it ended up being a year of survival. Seriously,... Continue Reading →

I haven’t done an Alley Food post in a long time! Mostly because I've been too crazy busy to join Husband on his bowling ventures.

You guys! With the economy being what it is, like most of people, I need all the help I can get! I've got to find ways to stretch a buck as much as possible. One sort of necessary indulgence is my makeup. I grew up wearing the common brands like Cover Girl, Maybelline, and Wet... Continue Reading →
We officially have a 2nd Grader! Today is Miss Aria's first day of school for the year. She seems like such a big girl now. I hope she has the best day ever to go along with the best year ever! She had just taken a big bite of breakfast pizza. I was running crazy... Continue Reading →
Where do I start? This month and a half of being unemployed has been the best reset ever! I've been crazy busy between my continuing ed class, getting Aria's school year wrapped up, and all things in between. But honestly, I've having such a good time! This is what life should be like! Besides wrapping... Continue Reading →
