Thoughts of the Day
My life has qualified me as "experienced" on such topics as Army life, parenting, mental health, loss and grief, multi-tasking, and adapting to all things new (good, bad, or indifferent). I will share my thoughts on these topics and hopefully you will find some calm in the chaos knowing that others have been where you are.

5 Barriers to Effective Communication & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #255
Communication is an essential skill for all of us to get through life as societal creatures. And good communication is a way to enhance our relationships with others. While it is a necessary skill and one that all humans possess on some intrinsic level, the art of good communication still continues to be a very difficult thing for many of us to learn. I suppose it all comes down to how we define communication. If you get stuck in the idea that communication is merely the speaking of words that someone else hears then you have much to learn about strong, healthy communication amongst human beings. Communication is so much…

Tits the Season to Have a Very Merry Sexmas: Celebrating My Boobs
This is a bold post, y’all. A very bold post. Although I have shared about boobs and shown off my own boobs on other virtual platforms and I talk about sex and all the other things that tend to make people uncomfortable, I have never actually placed photos that show my boobs in this space. But I thought about it some and I figured it’s really just boobs. We all have them and we all hide them and I don’t understand why because the boobless gender has no issue flaunting their flat nipples around in public whenever the weather permits it. I am pretty much over that double standard at…

Yesterday, I shared my new hemp bedsheets, so today I am continuing with some ideas for a feminine bedroom makeover. Many people enjoy remodeling the rooms in their homes for a variety of different reasons. You may want to update old furniture and decor to be more modern or you may just have grown bored of your current decor and find a change refreshing. Many women with a great sense of fashion also translate that style into their home decor. We not only express ourselves through how we dress, but the way we maintain and decorate our homes also speaks volumes about our personalities. If you have been considering a…

ATLINIA: Breath of Nature While You Sleep & Link Up On the Edge #275
You might already know how I have been struggling with sleep during these premenopausal years. I am either too hot, too cold, too uncomfortable, too anxious, or in some other way too hormonally imbalanced for proper sleep. So I am always looking for ways to update my sleep environment to be more conducive to a good long healthy night’s sleep. This past summer, I upgraded my comforter to a bamboo one which has really helped to improve my body temperature issues at night. Natural fiber bedding really does have some wonderful sleep and health benefits especially for those of us who struggle with menopause symptoms that effect our sleep. I…

Angels for Your Soul Giveaway & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #252
I have a friend who talks to angels. Sometimes I talk to angels, too. So when she decided to start sharing her gift with others, I wanted to hear what her angels had to say. But before we get to my Angel message, I want to share a bit about my very gifted friend, Brooke. I have known Brooke since the day she was born. Her parents and older brother moved into the house across the street from us when I was very young. Her brother Joe was my very best friend all through elementary school. As a result of that early childhood friendship and our neighborly proximity, our families…

Bring Joy to Your Walls with Poster Store
I am back with my second collaboration with Poster Store, my new go-to place for ethically sourced and produced sustainable prints that are bringing joy to my walls this holiday season. We have been making slow progress on the full home makeover that I committed to last winter, but progress is progress regardless of how slow I move.

Little Red Riding Hoodless & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #248
I have always loved the drama of a red cape. There is something special, powerful, nostalgic, mysterious, innocent yet devious, sexy, and magical about a garment of this sort. A red cape can conjure up visions of magicians, vampires, superheroes, royals, or a young girl being stalked by a wolf in the woods. You know who I mean, of course, Little Red Riding Hood from the 17th century fairy tale. Have you ever read the original versions of some of our most beloved fairy tales? Many of them are very dark and incredibly creepy and super morbid, originally drafted in order to educate children through a perspective of fear. But…
