Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
My sister and I have been discussing the pros and cons of a slow cooker versus an instant pot. I am here to tell you that for me, being single, I prefer a slow cooker. I love walking in the door at the end of the day to the sweet aroma of comfort food. However,... Continue Reading →
This blog post has taken me literally two days to write. I wanted to share with you what I have in mind for 2020. How do I convey my thoughts, my goals, my travel bucket list, my dream of creating more whether it be in my kitchen or in an art journal? By being honest... Continue Reading →
Looking back the past five years since Paul passed away, I’ve realized that I have been through the ringer. Grief, loss, illness, more loss, more weird health issues. Then, the joy!

I have been struggling with a topic to write about. I want to be careful and more mindful about resorting to complaining. I have always looked at instances in my life, good or bad, and found a silver lining no matter what. But the tone of our nation has finally got to me. I can’t... Continue Reading →
The tribal nature of the anger in America will suffocate us if we do not collectively change our community, our daily lives, our online lives. I have given this thought all week.
