When I was pregnant with our first baby and stressing TF out about its negative environmental impact, I announced to everyone we’d be using cloth diapers as one way to offset said impact. My girl Sarah sent me a laundry basket full of cloth diapers she used on her babes (that she had also received […]
Once upon a time I was a burned out, disgruntled old hag who wouldn’t have recommended a nursing career to her worst enemy. Well, okay, I would like to see my worst enemy wipe poop from under a grown man’s testicles, so… maybe I would’ve. I left my last staff nurse position in 2015 and […]
There’s a saying in our household: “Everything’s workin’ out Warcken.” And it typically does, even when we think it doesn’t, or won’t. Maybe we’re just incredibly fortunate (definitely true), or maybe we just have what Greg calls “PMAs”, or positive mental attitudes.

Annnnnnnd we’re back! For at least one post. lol jk. (hopefully) So much has changed since my last post in April! Of 2019. *face palm* But I feel justified in my absence as the most important change was the birth of our precious, (practically) perfect daughter. As the greatest human who’s ever lived, she’s kind […]
Everyone knows this is my favorite planet and I love to take good care of her. In 2017 my new year’s resolutions started including big ways to be more environmentally friendly.

Subtitle: And Why I Don’t Care To Know What You Think It Is I’m sure it’s the same for every woman on the planet, but I always get two questions when someone finds out I’m pregnant: Q: When are you due? What are you having? A: None of your beeswax. None of your beeswax, […]
In spite of my not having worked the first three months of 2018 (against my will, for once), financially the Warckens crushed it last year. I didn’t start working until the first week of April, and just to show how much of a sugar mama I am, I made more in my first two […]
I think of children as books, or dogs, or cars. There are plenty out there who need good homes, so why buy new? No sir, not me, I guarantee it I had a miscarriage two years ago (which you can read all about here) and I swore I’d never give pregnancy another go. I was […]
