Between the Tall Trees

Well, here we are. In just a little more than a half hour, I will be entering into a whole new decade. Yep. I will be turning 40 years old. It sounds all cryptic and shit to even think about that. I had mentioned before how I remember when my mom turned 40, and it just felt like she was so old. I honestly don't feel this way really, but I do feel like I may be going through some sort of midlife crisis to some degree. (More on that in a future post...haha!) Anyway, I can't believe this thing is already here. Just a couple of years ago, it still felt like an eternity away. Gosh, I remember when I was about to turn 30 and how weird and old and whatever I felt. I was all in my feelings and just didn't know how to accept moving into a new decade. I have that a little bit now too, but it's just different. I can't explain it. Maybe at some point, I will be able to. I just am still "in it" right now so I guess I will probably be able to share more once I've ha

Because I am tired and in a silly mood, I figured I'd write a bit more of a fun post. Well, maybe there will also be some serious parts, but we shall see.

I would say that my favorite food in the world is buffalo chicken wings. They have to be crispy enough and done just right with the sauce or else it just becomes a shit show. When I lived in New York, I used to go often to this sports bar & restaurant called Tully's and would order their buffalo chicken tenders with the sauce on the side because I hate

Hey again! I know it's been a hot minute since I last wrote. Life has been crazy busy with summer break, travels, and just the day to day happenings that never seem to end or go away. There have been a lot of good things going on, and I am so thankful for it all. I have had some great times with my kiddos, hanging out with friends and family, and I am blessed to be able to celebrate 40 years on this planet as of next week! I feel like that last part has just kind of snuck up on me, and I am like....Oh em gee...I still have some planning to do. Oh yeah, I also have to get some last things situated and purchased before my kids start school in less than two weeks! Yikes! Haha. But that'll have to wait until tomorrow because tonight, I am being lazy, chillin' in bed and eating this amazing Lindt chocolate that my friend gave to me as a gift while visiting her this past weekend in the beloved Germany. And yes I have a "TMI" excuse for eating the chocolate so don't
