Hello from the bottom of the pile!

Hello everyone!! Finally found the time to check the blog. It HAS been a while since my last post. I can’t fully say that I am back…. but I’m not gone either!! I’m just here, super busy. I just can’t keep up with what’s happening. 

Let me get one thing straight, nothing bad has happened. We are all ok. All happy. I’m just not in the right “blogging state of mind” plus it has been a very hectic few weeks. 

First, my brother was here around Christmas time. Of course, again I played the tour guide. Then a few days before my brother left, another set of relatives came! And I had no idea they were coming so that was a BIG surprise! A good surprise … but it really caught me off guard. So, the “tour guide mode” continued for a week more. 

Just as when I thought things would settle down and I’d be able to catch up with my “obligations”, an unfortunate event happened. Our Nanny’s father passed away so she had to go back home. That means I am left nanny-less. 

Right now, I am taking B to office and A takes her home after his duty. I simply can’t go on like this! I do love spending time with B and I would choose that over anything but I cannot multitask like this. I can’t concentrate at work and I’m so tired!

Can I get a vacation? soon? Oh yeah, we are going somewhere soon. 🙂 That’s something I’m looking forward to. I’ll give more details on my next posts. 

Thanks for visiting and please bear with me for a couple more weeks. Hopefully, I’ll get back into the groove in a few days.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
