Continue reading →: The Monster With Green EyesShe’s a different type of female, like one I’ve never met before in my life. A lonesome creature that rarely speaks up anymore.

Continue reading →: DIY Nintendo Switch Halloween CostumeIn my last post I mentioned how my son wanted me to make two Halloween costumes for him; the first costume was a Creeper from Minecraft, the second costume was a Nintendo Switch.

Continue reading →: Blue-Ringed Octopuses Bouncing Bubbles PaintingI really enjoy painting. I wish I could dedicate more of my time to creating new stuff but it’s hard to fit a hobby into life with kids, being a student, and working.

Continue reading →: Crying The Blues, A Benzodiazepine StorySeven years ago I was a different person.

Continue reading →: Motherhood is…The most unique experience a woman will ever go through. A tiny human growing inside your tummy and taking over the organs. Constant peeing in the panties and vomiting after every meal. Gagging from the smell of butter garlic noodles and feeling disturbed from grilled salmon. Eating the entire bag…

Continue reading →: I Am A Dumpster Diver, Searching For Treasure in the GarbageDumpster diving is probably one of the coolest hobbies that I have. It’s exciting, dirty, and the most important – everything is free!
