So it’s been a bit longer than I’d like in terms of writing a blog post…my bad, ya’ll. But if I’m being fair, things have been rather busy lately. If you’re new here, hi, I’m Amber and while I’m really great at time management, I haven’t yet figured out time control. Yep, still on the […]
We have totes for everything – storing holiday decorations, keeping the umpteen feral cats in our neighborhood warm during cold winter nights, planting small varieties of tomatoes, etc. It’s not quite as bad as my mason jar habit, but it’s getting there… Then one summer, we found an extremely value-priced Imaginext playset at a garage […]

That said, I’ve been blessed with two VERY vocal children, a folding table shoved in the corner of our guest room, and a brain that thinks about sleep more […]
Loneliness as a mom isn’t a new concept, but when you are alone, it’s easy to get caught up in the idea that you’re the only one. A few years ago, when our son was only 6 months old, my husband and I made the choice to have a second child. Why get used to […]
