Being at home with the kids has its ups and down, but mostly I enjoy being with the kids. I wanted to be the one who raised them, I didn't want someone else taking care of them, seeing their firsts, or teaching them the[...]
Photo by Laura Chouette on Unsplash I stopped wearing makeup during the pandemic, like many others. There didn't seem to be much point in wearing makeup when I'm not leaving the house. But even after life retur[...]
I've always struggled with my weight a bit. Sometimes it was under control, other times it just seemed impossible to stop gaining weight. I gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant with the twins. I felt sick a lot, a[...]
It's been a while now since I gave birth. Ages, even. Centuries. I am now 100 years old. Just kidding, it's been about 9 months. They have now been out of me the same amount of time they were in me. It feels like[...]
When I was in my 20's, I didn't want kids. I liked kids, for the most part, but I knew they take up a lot of time.

I actually hate getting my hair done, it takes too long and I nearly always don't like the results, but it is necessary. My hair starts to look pretty ratty and gross if I go longer than a year without a hai[...]
Once again, time moves so fast, I can't even believe it. I felt like I had just written that post about Stu, but turns out, it's been nearly a month. How is that even possible? So what's been happening in the last month... well, nearly nothing horse related. I think if I stuck to only talking about[...]
Stu has been in training for over a year now. My, how time flies when I spent most of it laying sick in bed! But I had the cause of my sickness forcibly evicted, so that part is behind me. Let's look ahead to the future. Wait no, we aren't looking ahead yet - we are looking at how Stu is doing now![...]
A few weeks after I birthed the twins, my Pony came back from lease. The trainer said he was the world's best pony and he was wonderful, but she wasn't getting enough business to justify keeping him. That's fine, I took him right back. When he got back, I was surprised to find him more assertive th[...]
