The four-legged Zoots are adjusting as well.
Something that has surprised me during this transition of me into a Stay-At-Home Mom is watching my pets also transition. The oddest change, has been how the animals are adjusting to having a toddler around all the time. NikkiZ has always liked the cats more than the dogs (they’re not as licky) but lately, all of the animals seem to want to hang out with her. If you’ll notice, it seems that Sunflower pops up in a lot more of our pictures lately. It’s like she... Read More
Looking for a Guinea Pig…
So – in my downtime I taught myself how to design to work with the sidebar widget capability of WordPress.

This sucks.” Not being able to leave my house may be the worst situation I could ever be in. It’s worse... Read More
All in a day’s work.
The first half of today was awesome. I was super-productive both professionally and domestically. I got a lot done and had a good feeling about the day. I sent several inquiries/resumes out and was optimistic to hear positive feedback. Then – I got my first “No, thanks!” response. And that sent me for a downward spiral. One negative response and suddenly my whole day was ruined. I asked Marilyn why I do that – why I let one DENIED email ruin my day –... Read More
