Leftovers
There are often mixed opinions when it comes to leftovers. Some people love them, some people hate them. Some people even intentionally make too much food so that there will be leftovers. Others go out of their way to ensure that all bits of the meal get consumed in a single sitting.

Dealing with Change
Change can be difficult to deal with no matter what age you are. No one really likes change. We get stuck in our routines. We get stuck in our habits. We basically work hard to get ourselves into a comfortable rut, and then we just stay there.

Moving Houses While Pregnant
Moving is stressful no matter where you are in life. There is the packing and the cleaning and the organizing. Then there is the loading everything in a truck, driving it to your new destination, unpacking, cleaning, and organizing. It is a trying time for most people. It is a hard time for most people.

The Last Month
Being pregnant is a bit of a roller coaster for most women. You have morning sickness and hormone changes and body changes. You have new homicidal tendencies towards anyone who irritates you. You aren't sleeping. You aren't eating and then you're eating too much. You're out of breath, you're tired, and you're uncomfortable.

Going to Baby School
Being a first-time mom is a scary thing. You are faced with this great responsibility of keeping a growing person alive for nine months in your body, and then you have to keep them alive when they come out of you as well. It can be a little daunting.

First-Time Mom Overload
The minute you announce that you are pregnant everyone seems super eager to get you things. This is a wonderful thing. People love to buy baby stuff, for some reason. And people love to buy baby stuff for babies that they don't have to look after. So, naturally, you can get a little overwhelmed as a first-time mom.

A Pet Owner's Journey (Pt. 16)
There is never a dull moment when you own a dog. They are a constant surprise. Their personalities change over time. Their actions will sometimes never make sense to you. They are endless entertainment. And they usually make great cuddle buddies. I'm a little biased towards dogs as pets, but I own one so I think that gives me a pass.

Coffee is Life
I began drinking coffee, in one form or another, at the age of thirteen. For me, it started out as French vanilla cappuccinos. These ridiculously sweet beverages appealed to the teenage version of me. They offered a nice energy boost from the sugar and the caffeine kept me going throughout the day.

Making Ends Meet
I think we all long for the days in our childhood when we had no concept of what money was. We didn't understand how much food costs. We didn't understand how much hydro and heating and water cost. We didn't know that gas prices would one day be the bane of our existence.
