“We are a nation obsessed. American culture is nothing more than a pastiche of fixations. We are obsessed with health. We are obsessed with pleasure. We are obsessed with speed. We are obsessed with efficiency. In simplest terms, we are obsessed by the desire to accelerate every element of our existence in a futile attempt [...]
This weekend I must do something spectacular. So that I may return to mundanity (should be spelled, MONDAnity) with new found lust for the freedom of weekends. I miss all of this too much. I love my little humble family. I love my soulmate, I love my submarine shaped dogs, I love my little home. [...]
I’ve spent hours looking at photos and watching videos chronicling the most catastrophic environmental disaster in U.S. history. The gulf oil spill. In 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit, I drove from Ohio all the way to New Orleans over a weekend. After spending only a few days there assisting in the animal rescue efforts, I [...]
We just booked a honeymoon cruise for the end of August, departing from Mobile Alabama. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When man gives you oil spills, you make cheap honeymoon plans!
I register for my first semester of graduate school classes! And then try and book a mini-honeymoon within the same week! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

This weekend was pretty great considering the amount of work-related stress sandwiching it from each side. I can’t quite remember it all, but Friday was all about bad food and a giant ice cream cone after work. Saturday morning involved a trip to the hair salon, wedding planning, a great dinner, lots of wine, and [...]

I want to wake up on my own watch and drink earl grey tea instead of coffee and make art all day long and run through the grass and take pictures of the trees and breathe everything in until I drown myself with LIFE so that I can stop writing run on sentences and just [...]
Sometimes my thoughts are so loud that I can’t hear my mouth and the ideas become bottle necked, knocking on the front of my skull. They all want to escape and dance around other people’s skulls but despite years of practice my lips still can’t catch up to my brain. And after what feels like [...]
Hello. I'm Katelyn, a 25 year old wife, mother of twins, artist, and idea-factory. During the day, some might call me a "hit-the-ground-running" Administrative and Marketing Professional. In this space, I chronicle the nitty gritty details of balancing a full time career, new motherhood and all quirks of being a young wife in Ohio. I enjoy challenging the traditional views of a homemaker and my driving force is PASSION. If you enjoy random photos, digital media, moody quotes, or appreciate raw and witty sarcasm, you might want to stick around.
