Life Just Slows Down when Your Sleepy Child Crawls in Your Lap

Bychronicradiance December 20, 2022February 26, 2025

Sean is 7 1/2. It was estimated at 2 1/2 by doubling his height, that he would be 6‘4” fully grown. I have no doubt. Sean is a gamer, and loves his iPad, PS5, Roblox, and all the other things that gamers do. When Covid hit, and everything was closed down, I signed Sean up…

Sean was upset that he couldn’t eat his gingerbread house when we went to pick it up with his blue ribbon and gift certificate to a local restaurant as a prize. The gingerbread house display held up decently, but being that it was out in the open in Town Hall for a week, I told…

For the first night of Hanukkah, I wanted to make sure that Sean had an adequate experience for the Jewish half of his heritage. I am Jewish, therefore, Sean is Jewish in the Jewish religion, and his father is Catholic. He gets the best of both worlds. It’s a lot of fun for him.In the…

Cleaning with Crutches – Staying Safe and Burning Calories.

Bychronicradiance December 18, 2022February 26, 2025

Keeping a clean house is pretty important to me. I never want to invite someone over and say, “excuse my mess.”Having hardwood floors also makes it easier to clean up spills, and makes it easier for me to get around, because my foot tends to catch on the floor with drop foot.I used to just…

Moms Club Holiday Party 2022 was a Blast!

Bychronicradiance December 17, 2022February 26, 2025

I was happy to be back together, since Covid shut things down, more or less, and I look forward to getting together with these ladies again soon! Once a year, just the moms get together for a holiday party from the Moms Club in my town, without the kiddies. It’s great to get to connect…

Ever seen a praying mantis in a first blog post?

Bychronicradiance December 16, 2022February 26, 2025

I thought it would be fitting that a young praying mantis, a rather cool looking an interesting creature should be my first post. Sandy is my son’s cool pet praying mantis and mine too by default. Have you ever even seen a first blog post?! Usually when you visit a blog, it’s already established, right?…

My secret to Breakfast and Lunch Today – Power Bowls

Bychronicradiance December 15, 2022February 26, 2025

My breakfast and lunch today were a slam dunk. Anything that I can have ready made that I don’t have to cook is a win win for me. The less foot time in my kitchen: the better. Especially after a leg day where my legs are drying for a rest. Power bowls are a great…

On Being a better blogger – what blogging means to me.

Bychronicradiance December 14, 2022February 26, 2025

A few weeks ago I was working on creativity and being creative with my hands. I created a designated spot on my kitchen for it, close to the sink so I could clean up easily, close to paints that I created a very organized wall section of my younger for, which my son helped me…

You’ve Probably Never Seen a Gingerbread House like this…take a peek!

Bychronicradiance December 13, 2022February 26, 2025

My son is obsessed with tornados, more than any other destructive environmental condition. It is no surprise to me that he wanted to include a tornado in his gingerbread house scene. I am very lucky that my mom has a large role in his life and loves to talk to him and spark his creativity….

Here’s why I’m holding off on my new blog for now.

Bychronicradiance December 12, 2022February 26, 2025

I started blogging again after much time off in August, and I used wordpress.org as my preferred platform for getting started. I could’ve also blogged on blogger, but since I had experience with WordPress before, I thought this was the best way to go.I wanted to blog about my life and what keeps me motivated…
