  • Aware of Does Not Equal Worry About

    Aware of Does Not Equal Worry About

    Reframing anxiety or worry is useful if it is a problem in your life. Being aware of something without being unduly concerned is helpful.

  • All Over The Place

    All Over The Place

    For the past three weeks, I’ve felt scattered in my plans and actions, and have been anxious. There are two main reasons: questioning some of my goals and being affected by the Supreme Court and other groups thinking they can regulate queer people out of existence. (Note: once again, procrastination strikes and I actually first…

  • Consistency

    Consistency

    Photo by Glenn Carstens-Peters on Unsplash “Lord, give me patience, and give it now!” is a wry saying I’ve heard. For me, a more apt version of that is “Give me consistency, and give it every day!”. Lack of consistency has been an obstacle my entire life. As a young adult, knowing I had the…

  • Why is good self-care important? 

    Why is good self-care important? 

    As the about page states here at More Than Crumbs, this site is about “my journey through life, using self-care and simplicity to enhance it and frankly, just keep it on an even keel sometimes.”  Self-care is a buzzword right now, so for our purposes, I’ll define it as “extra” activities to maintain one’s mental,…

  • A poll about kitchen storage

    A poll about kitchen storage

    You know how frustrating it is when your Tupperware or Rubbermaid or other brand plastic kitchen containers don’t match up? So annoying. So about 2 years ago (guessing?) I bought some pyrex containers that all matched and were enough for our needs. And that was nice. But what was surprising was the sense of calm…

  • The Day After Thanksgiving

    It is the day after Thanksgiving and I was awakened by the garbage truck. Not too early, and I’d been half awake for a while and so I got up, put on my robe, opened up my laptop, and made some tea. We didn’t have a typical US Thanksgiving. No travel, no big meal, just…

  • Why Not Use the Good Stuff?

    Why Not Use the Good Stuff?

    I have this habit of saving things for the “perfect” or best time to use them. Mostly that doesn’t serve me well, such as when the expensive, fancy ingredient goes bad because I never use it. It is like there is some part of me that thinks I have to maximize my use of things.…
