In this episode of Oma’s Musings, I open up about how my husband and I have learned to embrace a separate vacation in our senior years—and found what a blessing it was. We had the opportunity to miss each other.After years of work travel, a shift to working from home brought some unexpected growing pains. I share how we've found peace in honoring each other’s needs, why it doesn’t mean anything is wrong, and how space can actually bring couples closer. If you’re navigating new rhythms in marriage, this one’s for you.

Welcome to Oma’s Musings—a cozy space where life slows down, faith runs deep, and the clutter (both physical and emotional) begins to clear. I’m Kathy—wife, mom, Oma, and now navigating this beautifully messy season of retirement.

Whether you're downsizing, caregiving, organizing your home, growing in faith, or simply craving a little peace, you're in the right place. Around here, we keep things simple, soulful, and real.
