You all, I am officially old. I cracked a tooth eating dinner on Wednesday night and after spending 2 hours in the dentist’s chair last night, was informed that the tooth must be pulled, Womp Womp.

Last week my husband and I went to Nashville for a quick 3 day getaway, thus no Edit was published. Having never been to Nashville, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My takeaways were that Nashvegas is an apt nickname, the people who live and work there possess more patience than I ever could for […]

I’ve been saying for weeks now that it’s basically Christmas because time is going so fast. We’ve really unleashed our post pandemic life at a breakneck pace. I look at my calendar and I see all of these milestones and events just wizzing right by. I’m at the beach for the 4th then my oldest […]

🎶Here I go again on my own, going down the only road I’ve ever known 🎶. Wait what? I don’t know. I’ve had a few earworm songs in my head this week and this morning that’s the one. It’s probably not even the right lyrics because my kids tell me that the songs I’ve been […]

This week was the best week of 2021 so far and I’ve had some good weeks this year. I took my 14 year old and 3 of her friends to the beach Sunday-Tuesday where they were mostly self-sufficient and I got to work on the screened porch in perfect sunshiney, not too hot weather. We […]

My baby girl finished middle school this week. It was a major event that upon completion will have involved the actual ceremony, a dinner hosted by the school, a pool party (today) hosted by the parents, and two trips with friends to commemorate the occasion. Needless to say, I’m a little concerned about what this […]

It’s Friyay! My oldest kid is celebrating her last day in middle school while my youngest is taking a mental health day because end of year project overload is real.
