Last year, also on Mother's Day, I wrote a post that was just an utter jumble of thoughts and emotions. I was absolutely beside myself with overwhelming feelings and I knew that I just needed to put them from words to sentences, to get them out of my head, and maybe - just maybe - … Continue reading Sit Back. Relax. Recap.

May Day
Hi. My name is Jenn, it's May 1st ... and I'm having a baby this month. It feels like the last 6 weeks have gone by in a blur while, at the same time, time has no meaning and has stood still. There have been a few memorable moments, but overall my days are bland … Continue reading May Day
Curbside Baby Shower
So this blog post is mostly for posterity ... I want to commit every detail of this to memory, and writing things down is a way to do it. I also want a way to look back on this easily. Memories are fickle, and it's not always easy to capture the small details and moments … Continue reading Curbside Baby Shower
Selfish Self-ish
If I've said it before I've said it a hundred times: I'm a people pleaser. There was a moment of relief when I found the name of what I was feeling and how I was acting. It made it easier to understand myself and move forward. Not that it's stopped the behaviour, but now that … Continue reading Selfish Self-ish
Stretch It Out
I've been sitting at the laptop for awhile, insomnia waking me up long before I was ready for it. Boyfriend has been getting a few extra winks in for the last few hours. I've been staring at blank screens and blinking cursors, knowing the ache and the longing to write is eating at my brain … Continue reading Stretch It Out
Parasite
I called my baby a parasite. It wasn't the first time I had thought it; truth is I've been thinking it for awhile, but it was the first time I said it out loud ... not just typing it, but physically putting thoughts to words that came out of my mouth. I called his baby … Continue reading Parasite
Anxiety Monster Strikes Again
In true "my life is a made-for-TV movie" moment, it would appear my words have summoning powers. I just wrote two blog entries about someone critical to my growth as a person who is no longer in my life. On another social forum I wrote a blog entry, again referencing them (it can't be helped! … Continue reading Anxiety Monster Strikes Again
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
You might not know this about me, but I've been blogging for a long time. It started as a teenager, when I got my first unsupervised accesses to the internet via high school computer classes and libraries. Oh yes, I had a Teen Open Diary (if anyone remembers those!) and have been through various platforms, blogging styles, … Continue reading To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
A Poly of Confessions
This is probably going to be one of the scariest posts I ever write. Something I have only shared with a handful of people in my every day life. Of course, there is a community of you who already know, many who may actually see this post. Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure what's compelling me … Continue reading A Poly of Confessions
It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This
In mid-December my work office got an upgrade - matching desk and bookshelf! No more mis-matched grey pieces for me ... no no. Bigger desk, more organized shelving, and a perfect space for some knickknacks. Obviously I brought a couple of Funko Pops! from home to keep me company, and I have this lovely photo … Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This
