My good friend and BFF, Jewel E Leonard, released the second book in The Witches Rede on Saturday. Titled Possession, it picks up shortly after Alight left off. Maeve is recovering with a family of strangers, while Raf is off looking for a place to build their lives together. When Alexis stops by to check … Continue reading Music Monday: Possession
The Great Move: Ten Long Months…
The moment our home was listed, our agent immediately started getting calls. By that weekend, we had our first viewing. And within three weeks we had our first offer. It was a nice couple from Canada who were really excited to hear the cows that sometimes wandered through the canyon. And we were just as … Continue reading The Great Move: Ten Long Months…
In Search of Success…
I often fall prey to this idea or feeling that if I just have the right pair of shoes, the right shirt, or the right nail color, that somehow things will just be better. I will be noticed by the right people. I will be more successful. And life will just be perfect. I'm sure … Continue reading In Search of Success…
The Great Move: Finding an Agent…
At first we were going to try to sell the house ourselves. Mobile homes don't earn equity at the same rate normal homes do. In fact they usually loose equity. So the odds of us making a profit was pretty small - even with all the improvements we had made. Also our mobile home was … Continue reading The Great Move: Finding an Agent…
Bumps in the Road…
I'm sorry to go MIA so soon after resuming posting again. Some of it is because I'm still adjusting to the Boyo's new school schedule. He's home on Wednesday's now, so we spend a lot of time at the local parks trying to wear him out. Some of it is because shortly after we moved, … Continue reading Bumps in the Road…
The Great Move: Research…
While we knew Washington was where we were meant to be, we didn't know where in Washington we wanted to go. So we started researching; where were the best job opportunities for John? Where was housing the cheapest but the neighborhoods were still good? Where were schools with good preschools? And where were all the … Continue reading The Great Move: Research…
The Great Move: Why Washington
Back in 2013, John (my husband) and I went on a little road trip with some friends up to Washington to visit their house in Gig Harbor. John was looking for work. The company he had been with for over a year had let him go because the owner of the company wanted to hire … Continue reading The Great Move: Why Washington
Gone Girl…
It's been over a month and a half since I last posted - which I have a very good reason for! We moved! Instead of being crazy Californians, we are now officially card carrying weird Washingtonians! I meant to share the good news sooner, but it's been a strange and exhausting adventure. I feel like … Continue reading Gone Girl…
Typical Parent Worries…
Just because an Autism diagnosis didn't have a major effect on our lives doesn't mean I don't worry about the Boyo's future. As I mentioned in last weeks blog, I believe that Boyo is exactly who he was meant to be - but that doesn't mean I can't be freaked out about his future like … Continue reading Typical Parent Worries…
A Year Later…
Last April, Boyo was diagnosed with Autism so I thought I would post today on, Autism Awareness day, about how much it has affected our lives. (Spoiler alert: not very much) Now, please keep in mind that the Autism spectrum is pretty broad. And it's really more like a color wheel than a sliding scale. … Continue reading A Year Later…
