Working & Writing While Road-Tripping

En route to Oklahoma with the whole crew, and somehow…I’m still getting work done.

The secret?

✨ Wi-Fi that understands the assignment

✨ Headphones doing the Lord’s work

✨ And stopping at every single Buc-ee’s we pass because apparently that’s a non-negotiable road trip law

Nothing like traveling with the family, which means excessive snacks, guaranteed chaos, and productivity happening in highly focused bursts between Izzi’s random demands and various bathroom breaks.

If you need me, I’ll be balancing work, travel, and a a bit of writing like a BOSS.

Stop guilt-tripping kids

Children don’t owe us for being raised with love, that was our choice. When parents use guilt or manipulation to demand gratitude, they raise adults who confuse love with obligation. A child’s job is to grow and learn, not to carry emotional debts. Parenthood isn’t about repayment; it’s about respo

No more guilt-tripping me. 🫶

I’m the type of woman who always wants to pour into the people I care about. But lately I’ve realized… nobody’s pouring back. I’m not a sponsor. I’m not a savior. I’m not here to fund dreams while mine sit on the shelf. I’m building from scratch with nothing, and I refuse to let guilt tricks
