When I was a young boy
I set out to the outdoors
Looked for things to catch my hazel eye
I could have done it all alone

But it’s nice to have a friend like you Continue reading “Friend Like You (Track 4)”
Whoa whoa, wakin’ up late again the alarm never ends
Anxiety has got a grip on me and what am I gonna wear?
I’m panicking, is anything clean?
Didn’t sleep, not a wink, now I’m strugglin’
She’ll want me to be home early to eat her chili… and take the baby! Continue reading “Emergency (Track 3)”
We are super open people. I can’t deny that we would confess to you pretty much any old thing you wanted to know about us. I believe it’s a combination of our desire to connect with people and the lack of skeletons in our closets. We are about as transparent as they come. Continue reading “Our New Life in the North”

I think it’d be fun to share things from time to time that are making me happy. Whether it’s beauty products, household stuff, new toys for Olson or a recipe that Joel likes. I’ve found that some of my favorite content online includes things that other women like me are enjoying.
