To Dodging Bullets
“On Oct. 1, 2017, from a room on the 32nd floor in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, “***********” (name removed, because I refuse to acknowledge him with a name) rained down bullets on approximately 22,000 concert-goers who were attending a Jason Aldean performance.

Father’s Day
No matter how much I try to deny it, Father’s Day is by far the toughest day of the year for me. Many of you know, that my father passed away at a very young age after what can only be described as the most bizarre period of my life. In 2000, I was 22…

Why I Don’t Celebrate Halloween
Halloween is in a few days, and each year I dread it. Want to know why I don’t celebrate Halloween? The store shelves are just about buckling from the weight of chocolate bars, pumpkins and severed limbs, and hyperactive kids across North America are testing their parents’ sanity.

The Love Dare, Round 2
Last year I very quietly read, and (tried to) implement(ed) the Love Dare and the Respect Dare. At the same time. They aren’t written by the same authors, but their 40-dare systems allow for integration, somewhat. So it worked…ish. I think most people that read these books operate like this is a “one time thing”…

Mosquito’s Find Me Tasty!
Recently, I snuck away to Cancun with Brent. And boy, did we *sneak*. Only two people knew we were going before we left…best trip ever 🙂 We chilled, relaxed, did a little flyboarding, and slept in every day. I’m noticing a trend with mosquitos – that is, I never see them, yet they manage to…

The Sniffling-Sneezing-Stuffyhead-Sorethroat-Ifeellikedying
Uggggggggghhhhhhhhhh. I’m sick. I hardly ever get sick. Probably because God doesn’t like to inflict sick Nadia on my friends and family. I immediately turn into a clingy-whiny-needy brat. This started on Tuesday of last week when I completely lost all drive and energy and fell asleep sitting up at a church potluck at 6pm.…
