I’ve been silent on this blog for a while now (last post on October 20, 2017). There have been so many things going on in my life recently that has led to this seven-and-a-half month hiatus, including: the birth of my second child in November 2017 a work event in December that MAY have taken… Continue reading Seven Years…
Thank GOD it’s over!! ZZZZZ!! As far as months go, August 2013 has to be one of the toughest I have experienced in my adult lifetime. Between work (in all of it’s curricular revision glory), the shopping hiatus (no retail therapy), and the stress associated with the waiting for fellowship interviews (and they’re not even… Continue reading "Letters from Lydia": A Look Back on August…
beautiful blue skies I’ve been staring at the skies recently, in complete awe of how July has passed us by with no more than one week of hot/humid weather (REAL summer weather).

In April, we… Continue reading "Letters from Lydia": May Madness

Breaking out lighter clothing… Continue reading "Letters from Lydia": As the War of Seasons Comes to a Close…
What Spring SHOULD look like! **This post was STARTED on April 1, 2013, but I didn’t get a chance to finish it until April 2, 2013. Don’t worry, I haven’t lost count of days or gone back in time…or lost my mind.** Happy April Fools Day, everyone! It seems Michigan weather has been misinformed as… Continue reading "Letters from Lydia": March in Michigan
