I almost forgot how exhausting and frustrating dealing with the “medical system” can be until the universe gave me a big reminder over the past two days. As many of you know, Trinity my youngest daughter who will be eighteen in a few weeks has ADHD. She has been on medication since the fourth grade…
my thoughts about life
My first dog bite!
To be honest I was going to skip posting today because I was busy taking care of Tabitha’s dog, working on the Comedy for a Cure auction and other errands. I decided to go for a walk at 5:30 pm instead of writing a post because I have really been enjoying how beautiful it is…
Are you afraid to talk about dying?
This is a very taboo subject but I think about it almost daily when I browse my social media feeds. I don’t consider myself a morose person, but death is something I think about often because it is everywhere. You can’t watch the news, listen to the radio or browse social media without hearing about…
It’s been 5 years since she went to Heaven…
Wednesday, January 15 was the five year anniversary of Tiara’s passing. Every year I do the same thing on January 15. I have the 8:00 am mass said in her honor which I attend, I visit her grave and then I mope around. This year was a little different. I called the church office two…
Why I’m no longer a home stager…
It’s so funny, but I forget you all can’t read my mind. I have been mostly absent from social media and when I posted on facebook yesterday, I was selling my twig decor inventory, I received several messages asking me why. I realized I forgot to tell everyone but my family and close friends what…
Am I the happiest person you know?
Are you wondering why I’m asking you this ridiculous question? This is why: A few weeks ago I was attending a concert in my church because they were unveiling the new organ. Apparently, our old organ was like a 1976 beat-up Toyota and the new organ is similar to a 2020 Porsche and our priest…
Why I lost my biggest client…
Yesterday, while on Instagram, up popped a picture from 2 years ago. This was the picture: This picture was from my first job with, let’s call him, Gus, for privacy reasons. Gus was referred to me by a wonderful real estate agent whom is also a friend. Gus is an extremely successful builder who owns…
Please don’t ignore your children!!!
As most of you know I spend a large portion of my time decorating homes which requires me to do a lot of shopping. I do most of my shopping at Home Goods/ Tj Maxx stores all through Orange County. I’m currently decorating a home in Eastside Costa Mesa so I have been shopping between…
I quit drinking wine and am trying to rescue my liver!
Don’t worry, I didn’t give up alcohol, just wine! I have to say I seriously miss my Chardonnay but I needed to quit for several reasons. I have known for years that I shouldn’t be drinking white wine because of the high sugar content and my ever expanding menopausal waistline also agreed, but I still…
Be true to yourself in all things, even decorating!
Yesterday morning while driving to morning Mass, I received a call from Tabitha. She had me on speaker with one of her coworkers. “Mom, Kim needs help picking a faucet and because you are my Mom, she thinks I can help her. You know I am clueless with all things home decor. Can you help?”…
