it’s time for a life update…

Charging Sky Etsy Shop

Remember that time when I had an Etsy shop and sold stuff? Well, I’m at it again!

Truthfully, I didn’t think I’d reopen the store since turning on “vacation mode” late last year. At the time, I was burnt out and moving deeper into my winter season of pregnancy.

I also had an overwhelming amount of “inventory” (AKA stuff I bought or acquired that slowly began to consume the garage). Actually, it wasn’t even a slow process—it just kind of exploded over night. That’s what happens when you obsessively track local estate sales and win big auction lots. 😬🤷‍♀️

that effing groundhog…

Listen, I’m done.

It’s been 12 days since the first day of spring, and we’ve had more grey skies, snowfall, freezing rain, and hail than I care to tolerate.

As my almost-six-year-old just said, “I don’t get it. It says it’s spring, but it’s still cold.” Even she gets it.

As I’m sitting here at an Airbnb in Ketchum, Idaho, the snow continues to fall and stick to whatever it hits first. While I can’t deny how beautiful and magical a blanket of snow can be, it’s time to give the proverbial mic back to the sun.
