A Glimpse into Who I Am
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. : A Glimpse into Who I Am I'm a bit of an all-or-nothing person when it comes to love and passion. When I'm into something or someone, I'm all in. It's got its ups and downs, but it's part of who I am, and I'm embracing it. If you know me, you've probably noticed I'm a pretty genuine person.

My Top Five Grocery Items (And Why They Break the Bank) 😊
List your top 5 grocery store items. As a busy mom of two, I often find myself wondering where our grocery budget goes. Today, I'm sharing my top five grocery items that might raise an eyebrow or two. Spoiler alert: it's not just about the coffee (although, let's be real, coffee is a big part of it). Lactose-free milk: Yep, you read that right.
My Dream Christmas: A Heartfelt Wish
Christmas Day, December 25th, 2025, and I'm grateful to be spending it with my loved ones. As a kid, I envisioned a magical time where everyone comes together, laughing and loving, with no drama or stress. As an adult, I'm still chasing that dream. I love looking at picture-perfect Christmas trees and decorations, but it's not just about the aesthetics. It's about creating a space where everyone feels valued and loved.

Wolf—Wouldn’t Mind if I D0
Do you ever see wild animals? : Have you ever seen a wild animal? If someone answers no to this question, they might be living under a rock, because technically, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, rats, and mice are all considered wild animals! But there's one particular animal I haven't seen, and I really wish I could - with my own eyes, not just in photos: a wolf.

One Thing I’d Change About Myself
What is one thing you would change about yourself? If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I struggle with depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental health issues. And if I'm being honest, there's one thing I'd change about myself if I could: how I view certain situations. It's easy for others to say "just change your perspective" or "stop letting it affect you," but it's not that simple when you're living it.

A Poem of Heartache and Self-Discovery
I have one question for the man who says loves me,Why? Not how, not when, not where did you fall,But why am I just another check mark on your list?It's not my smile, or my laugh?I don't do that often, I don't light up a room,I'm not a solution to your inner problems,Only you can give yourself the wings to fly away.

The First Impression I Want to Give: A Glimpse into My Soul
What's the first impression you want to give people? If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that I'm a kind, loving, and caring soul. However, I want to make one thing clear: I won't tolerate being taken advantage of or ignored. If you don't give me a chance to explain myself or consistently disregard my feelings, I will eventually reach my breaking point.
Do I Trust My Instincts? The Answer is 51… But Let’s Be Real, It’s a Solid “Meh”
Do you trust your instincts? I've been pondering this question for a while now, and the answer is surprisingly simple: no. I don't fully trust my instincts. The number 51 might suggest a more optimistic outlook, but let's be real, it's probably just the universe being polite. The truth is, if I relied solely on my instincts, I'd be in a constant state of anxiety, eating Cicekli pizza for…
Being a Kid at Heart: Embracing the Joy of Childhood
What does it mean to be a kid at heart? As a self-proclaimed serious soul, I'm not sure I'm the most obvious candidate to tackle this question, but I'm taking a stab at it anyway. The phrase "kid at heart" has been floating around in my mind for a while now, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on what it means to me.

Gabby’s Dollhouse through an Adult’s Eyes
As an adult, I recently found myself captivated by the whimsical world of Gabby's Dollhouse on Netflix. The show's imaginative and immersive storyline revolves around Gabby, a little girl who interacts with her cat-themed toys in her enchanting dollhouse. The diverse cast of characters, including DJ Catnip, Kitty Fairy, Mercat, Cakey, and CatRat, bring the dollhouse to life, creating a mesmerizing experience for both kids and…

Peom written for you ❤️ old is new again
A year has passed, yet echoes remain,Of whispered promises, and love in vain.You sought my all, but I couldn't give,For part of me belonged to him, and our kids, I live. My heart was split, a fragmented thing,Yet, in the shards, a spark still clings.I couldn't rest, knowing I'd hurt you deep,But you're at peace now, your Gemini soul, free to leap.
Here we go! 3 years into the future
What will your life be like in three years? Here's a revised version that includes that part: "I'm not quite sure how to answer this question. Except, my children will be older, and hopefully, I'll still be here, alive and kicking. There's always room for improvement, but right now, I can't say I'm happy, and I can't say I'm unhappy either.

Money, Money, money, Ain’t It Funny 🤣
Name the most expensive personal item you've ever purchased (not your home or car). "I'll flip this question on its head and share my thoughts. Everything is expensive these days, whether it's a cup of coffee, a haircut, or a trip to the nail salon. It's a delicate balancing act, especially when you're living on a tight budget with two kids.

Scorpio Resilience Day: A Celebration of Our Strength
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. Scorpio As a Scorpio, I know I'm not alone in feeling like we're a bit… intense. We analyze things to death, we fight for what we believe in, and we love with every fiber of our being. And you know what? I'm proud of that. I think we deserve a holiday of our own - a day to celebrate our resilience, our strength, and our unwavering commitment to the…

We can always use more time
Do you need time? The next question I'm tackling is about needing more time, and while there are many possible answers, I have a very specific response to share. To be honest, everyone could use a little more time, don't they? This week, something happened that really put things into perspective for me. You see, my grandma has this beautiful box that my great-grandpa made, and it's been passed down through generations.

3 Just 3 Wishes
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? "Today's daily prompt asked, 'If you had three genie wishes, what would they be?' Finally, a question that doesn't feel like group therapy! But first, I need to lay out some parameters. For my first wish, I would wish for a world without disabilities.
