I wanted to write a post about Mother's Day. So, one evening I kept thinking on what to write about. I was forcing it. I never want to force anything I write.

Sometimes, You Just Need to Ask
It took me a long to time to come to grips with this simple logic in my marriage. It probably took over ten years if I'm being honest.

My master bathroom is super small. Of all the things I could change about my house, that would be the first thing. However, right now, it's not in the budget.

Comparison and perfectionism were both two of the main front runners in my poll I took regarding what struggles steal your joy.
