I CANNOT TELL you how excited I am!I have three {YES! THREE!!} big announcements to share with you #1 WE ARE PATENT-PENDING!Yup, you read that right. After months and months {and MONTHS!} of being elusive and cryptic with exactly what Sharing Solace is all about – I can now share our mission and exactly how we […]
It’s been a bit of a tough week…I wouldn’t go so far as to say ‘tough’ in the traditional sense, maybe just really emotional. This week was full of ‘new firsts’ that took me out of my comfort zone…like WAY out of my comfort zone. And the picture above sums it all up.I did the unthinkable. […]
How cool is this!??! I’m an ‘expert’… Although it’s not really something that anyone wants to be an expert at. Oh well, I’ll take it…It was wonderful chatting with Sarah from Messy Roads to Motherhood. And it’s been such a long time since I’ve shared my entire ‘mommyhood’ story. And, there is something very freeing about sharing […]
So, here I am, Day #1 of my once in a lifetime trip to India. Twenty-nine hours on 3 planes (with an extra landing thrown in). I did it all by myself too. I didn’t freak out when my flight to Frankfurt wasn’t on the board, or when I went to the wrong gate even […]
I love…d… holidays. All of them but Halloween was my favorite. It was fun to dress up as someone {or something} else, walk around the neighborhood with all your friends, and have strangers give you candy {Remember this was the 80’s and 90’s when as long as there weren’t any razor blades in your candy […]
{I’m speaking from experience here…of both…}You don’t just break a rib – it’s not like you turn the wrong way or get up out of the chair funny and **oops** you broke a rib. Something has to HAPPEN; you get in a fight, fall down a flight of stairs, get kicked by a horse…something powerful.The wind is instantly […]
You probably know how much I love my pineapples. If it’s pineapple flavored – I’ll eat it. If it’s pineapple scented – I’ll smell it. If it has a pineapple on it – I’ll wear it. If it’s pineapple inspired – I probably already own it!Did you know that pineapples are a symbol of wealth […]
I’ve been married for longer than I’d like to admit {so long, in fact, I tell people to got married at 16 so I don’t give away my true age (12 years in May)}. Last year, the hubs and I decided it was time to do a financial ‘physical’ – basically we just went through […]
As long as I can remember I’ve been a fidgety person. Not because I’m nervous or anxious – I just like to be multi-tasking small tasks. I can’t watch TV or a movie without doing something with my hands too {otherwise I go crazy} and that normally means picking up my phone and playing a […]
So, I’ve dubbed 2017 the year of the healthy Crystal {OK, maybe just healthy-ER Crystal}. I started the year off by going back to the doctor, getting back on some of the meds that I should have been on all along, focusing on the diet and exercise…just generally doing the things I should have always […]
