I think the last time I shared a career update I was still commuting about an hour and a half to work in the “bigger hospital” near us. It’s time to catch you up to speed. Since February 2022, I’ve been considered a “travel nurse” in some form or fashion. The first contract I took…

This is a throwback to October 2021. We are going all the way back to 2009 for this one! I’ll link to mom’s original blog post with the recipe here: https://www.joscountryjunction.com/let-them-eat-cheese-cakeor-whatever-kalissa-decides I’ve been making this super simple cherry cheesecake recipe for over a decade now and my number one fan of my cheesecake was my…

I’m excited to announce I have a few new cross stitching shirts to share with you! I teased a sneak peek in a recent blog post. These are the mock ups I’ve made. I design all of my own shirts on Adobe Illustrator. I’m not a cross stitcher myself so I don’t understand all of…
