Momumental Life Changes
It’s been a minute since my last blog post but the time away was well worth it because it was spent growing the most beautiful tiny human. On May 20th, my husband and I welcomed a healthy baby girl named Harleigh Grace. She is my third and last baby and I am absolutely soaking up every baby snuggle and milestone to the fullest. I have always wanted to be a mom and I am thankful every day to have been blessed with three beautiful healthy girls, particularly because of my neurological condition of Moebius Syndrome. But the road here has had some interesting twists and turns. My first daughter Jadann…

New Year, Same Me
Happy 2024! I’m super thankful to have had a blessed Holiday Season but I’m equally thankful that the chaos and over stimulation is over! It’s officially that time of year to reflect on where you’ve been and where you’re trying to go but I’ll admit, I’m not really an all-in New Years Resolution person. I mean I already wrote some very broad and general goals on my phone’s OneNote, mostly continuations of things I either started last year, meant to start or am actually seriously thinking about getting off my butt and starting at some point. I also only look at said list from time-to-time but it’s fun to revisit…

I’m Back (Again)!
It’s been awhile! Mostly because life got busy but also because as one of my followers was nice enough to point out, my blog site randomly broke. It took a minute and some assistance to fix but I have once again emerged, much like this raccoon from the dumpster! As someone who is always thinking and feeling things, I thought this blogging thing would come much more naturally but truthfully, it’s not always as easy to put thoughts and feelings into words, let alone onto an internet site. It’s actually pretty awkward to come up with “stuff that matters.” Maybe the key is to just commit to blogging in general…

Seeing It Through
One of the best things about my new job as a Nurse Case Manager is having the ability to be more involved in different aspects of my patients’ lives and stories. This week I had the privilege of attending a funeral for a patient, which is not something that a nurse usually gets to do. Someone asked me why I would attend a funeral, implying that this is not usually part of “normal” nursing tasks. It really isn’t to be fair. My response was and still is “because I’m seeing it through.” My staff and myself were there for every other step of the recent processes (my staff more than…

Up and waddling
After several months of being salty over my unsuccessful transition into a new career in web development, several more months of trying to find the ambition to build my personal site and several more months after that of deciding to actually deploy said personal site (I actually built this at a pretty respectable rate), the site is up and ready to rock! Now the trick is to actually use this to make it more worth-while. Not so much in a “hire me immediately as a web developer” way but in a therapeutic thought journal type of way. The good news is that I’m now in a very different spot in…

Everyone’s Blogging
I am fully aware that I am late to the blogging party. The thing is, I never really felt the need to start my own blog page. That was until I became aware that every Web Developer is expected to build a personal website, and in this case, I like the idea of building something that I can actually use. I absolutely refuse to title my first blog “hello world,” but this is my introduction to my blogging adventure.
