July 2022 in Review
Does anyone else feel like it’s still May? I don’t know if I’m stuck in that traditional caught-in-time, always-behind feeling of adulthood, or if this is worse than usual because I’ve literally avoided being outside as much as possible for … Continue reading
June 2022 in Review
Ugh June. Usually a fairly good month, after the oppression of May, but the unrelenting heat, stressful goodbyes, re-rise of covid, and horrific politics has made June probably the worst month of 2022. Oy. It’s been a monotonous haze of … Continue reading
May 2022 in Review
I’m not feeling so well right now, had a really bad cold the last few days (several negative covid tests say it’s just a cold, anyway, despite me moaning dramatically about it at home). So this post is going to … Continue reading

January 2022 in Review
It has been a busy and often odd month in the Gignacery. Jason and I have begun to experience what it will be like for us to become empty-nesters in a few months. Ambrose, after two fall semesters of community … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Vision Board 2022
On Sunday, I got together with a few of my friends to create our vision boards for this year. Though I’ve created vision boards for the last two years, this was my first opportunity to do it in person! (In … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – YWA Move
Last year, when I signed up for Yoga With Adriene’s January challenge – Breath – I had every intention on becoming more consistent with yoga in 2021. That didn’t work out. I never did Breath in order, and I only … Continue reading
