Ok, so let me preface this post by saying I'm trying to make light of a very real situation. I'm a mom and I lose my cool more often than I'd like to admit to people.

So in no particular order except how they popped into my mind...here are 15 reasons why ... Read more...
Post-Surgery Update on my Wrist
I realized that not everyone who visits my blog is following me on social media, and not everyone who follows me on Instagram or Facebook is visiting the blog.

Real Talk: Battling Insecurities, Minimizing Comparison, and Trying to be Less Sensitive
This is post is definitely a little different from my usual but mainly because some things have been weighting pretty heavily on my mind and I find it's always easier to write out my feelings. I find it very therapeutic and because I know I'm never alone in the way I'm feeling maybe this post will help one or more of you who might be going through a similar situation/experience. 1. I have insecurities. First off as a family we've experienced a lot of changes this year. My husband made a big switch in careers which prompted a ... Read more...
