Unearthed Jewel No. 10….Lipstick! I felt something was “off” the other day when I was getting ready. I realized, I have misplaced almost all my lipsticks currently. I am sure they are around somewhere but between, my car, purse, backpack, office, endless errands and due to having a dog that likes to chew them up,…

Unearthed Jewel No. 9 It’s a blessing and a curse. It’s said to be a spectrum, and in my head I envision a spectrum as a rainbow from least to greatest. My son, is said to be “high functioning” and I am picking up that is now determined in levels of some sort. Haven’t read the latest on methods of diagnosis because I have been reading more on “Executive Functioning.” That seems to be where we are struggling presently in his adolescents. I remember bringing home my second little bundle…

Unearthed Jewel No. 8 (I think)… BASE! A word heard often in the summer. I remember playing tag growing up. My mind especially goes back to humid summer days at my grandparent’s neighborhood.

Unearthed Jewel No. 7…winter days. Most people disagree that winter is the best season. A huge fan of fall because where I live, the colors are amazing! I always say it’s when the earth has it’s make up on. Mother earth gets dressed up in the spring too. Despite endless mosquito bites and sunburns, who can deny summer? Lake days and poolside days with your favorite beverage. Each month brings about its unique blessings. Winter, brings about something special. Coziness and togetherness. Nothing is more special than when my children…

Unearthed Jewel No. 6…Do what you want… Late last night I received a text from my perfect friend. We have this thing we’ve had since our early 20″s called “Brutally Honest.” It’s exactly as it sounds. Whatever life battle we are dealing with at the time and need direction for, we call upon each other for our upmost honest advice and opinions. As tricky as it may seem, it works for us and always has. I am sure that at some point in our early 20’s, while drinking a bottle…

Unearthed jewel No. 5… Kitchen Goddess. “What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China?” Apparently that is not just an expression anymore and actually is a relevant question these days. The rising cost of food is such a pain in the ass! Going to the grocery store is both a blessing and a curse. I am so thankful for the ability to go and I never want to lose sight of that. At the same time, it pisses me off when I spend two hundred dollars…
