Life is very different here. When I lived in DC I traveled 75% of the time and though I lived in the same building for three years I did not know any of my neighbors. I occasionally hung out with my co-workers and often when I was home, I was just so happy to be [...]
Read full post...So the my celebrating life day has come and gone and this particular day was incredibly celebratory for me because it is the beginning of a new life for me. Tomorrow is my official last day at the place I worked for most of my late 20s. Next week I once again start classes and become [...]
Read full post...Chanda joked this morning that maybe I should blog again and I know it has been awhile. Life took over and needless to say blogging went to the bottom of my list. But here we are. It has been 6 months since we began our journey and my 30 weeks are coming to an end. [...]
Read full post...Most people that know me would say I am a magnet for travel drama. Based upon my track record I should never leave my house but I think it might just be statistics. I travel a lot so it seems like crazy travel scenarios happen to me all the time.

Read full post...Since I’m a wife and mother, one would mistakenly assume I’m a great cook. Well, I’m awful. Dreadful in some cases. But I don’t let that stop me!
My kids favorite “meal” of mine is my Souped Up Ramon Noodles. The recipe is simple:
-1 package Chicken Favored Ramon Noodles
-4 hotdog wieners
-1 slice of cheese
I add the [...]
Yes, those are his exact words - as I was heading to bed with 3 Double-Stuffed Oreos and a glass of Cherry Kool-aid.
How can I say no to that? So I said I’d be right back and I’d be ready to get started (went to the back to eat my bedtime snack and I came [...]
My name is Chanda and my kitchen is a mess.
(This is where you say - “Hi Chanda”)
That’s my confession. I usually blame my kitchen mess on the fact that I don’t like the configuration of my kitchen and I want to have it remodeled. But no more!
I have got to get my kitchen more organized. [...]
I have made less progress on decluttering than I thought I would at this point. I need to focus on my personal clutter and instead have managed to only make progress in areas of work.
