Hi y’all! I’m treating myself and my friends to monthly reflections, this year. These are meant to help me keep track and make sense of things. I am one of those creative types that flourish in clutter and chaos. I’m also the first to admit that my way is no way to keep any sort of order.

Some of you may know that I’m doing this school thing where I learn stuff in the hopes that one day I’ll be smart. The end of May into June proved to be a challenging time for balancing my explorations and work with my oldest son’s entry into the teenage years (#13). My biggest achievement this month has to be earning my Wilderness and Backcountry First Aid Certification. I am very happy knowing what I can do for others in the case of an emergency on the trail or at camp. Now, it’s halfway through June and I’m playing catch up with the blog. 🙂
