If I Write A Book, Will People Will Read It?

It’s 11:22pm on a Sunday night and my brain keeps wondering why I shouldn’t do it. I’ve been writing a blog for two years and my friends keep telling me I should pen a few books based on all of my ordeals. The weddings, the new house, the failed DIY and the miscarriage, heck even […]

Happy 2nd Anniversary MrsEnginerd!

Embrace The Layoff (or Furlough)

Zach and The Magical Staircase

For 50+ days now, Zach has made of our house his home. There are very few places he hasn’t “hung out” in or at the very least explored. He trots around the house like he has been there for years and whenever he discovers a new sound, he immediately investigates. It can be annoying if […]
