by Michele Redmon I have two adorably mischievous cats, Henry and Rosie. We love them so much, but for being so small they can make a mighty big mess. Between the litter box, the toys, the accidents (LOL, with cats there are no, “accidents”) and hair on everything, I am one broken vacuum away from …

The Year of the Hobby | From Me to Mom & Back Again
by Michele Redmon When I was single, hobbies and personal endeavors took priority over nearly everything. I loved to write poetry, take photographs, devour classic literature and explore old cemeteries and abandoned buildings. (On an obvious side note I did not have many friends.) Becoming a wife and mother were choices I made, unprepared for …

Getting Happy When You’re So Sad
We’ve all experienced sadness and loss in our lives. There isn’t one of us that hasn’t. Unfortunately, the more years we live on this planet, the more losses we experience and to be honest, they don’t get any easier in the actual moments, but almost more difficult as we’ve built walls around our hearts so …
LeRoy is Gone ~ All The Sad Faces and Ugly Cries
My eyes are red and swollen. I can only keep myself from crying for a few hours’ time, if that. Then I am reminded that he is no longer here by some random noise, smell, or feeling and it all comes flooding back again. LeRoy is gone. The husband brought him to the vet on …
Live Electric

LeRoy’s Future Doesn’t Look Bright
The air is thick and the mood is heavy in our house and it has been for a few months now… though this week has most definitely been the hardest. Each day tears flow, each sleepless night, tired eyes quiver while our mind takes us to the past and to the future and to what …
