I want to share with you how I try to get the most out of a slow season in life and work. I used to dread the winter time after the holidays were over. Okay, to be honest, I still dread March and April. That is when I’m beyond anxious for spring to arrive and...
The ball dropped, confetti flew, kisses were shared and noise erupted. Ringing in the new year has always been something I look forward to. Whether I’m celebrating at midnight or when I wake up on January 1st because I went to bed before midnight. I know there are people who feel January 1st is just...
NOTE: I wrote this post in 2014 and never hit publish. Why? FEAR! I was being vulnerable and didn’t have the courage. As I was going through old posts in draft today, I found and read it. It brought me to tears! I’m so happy I wrote this to myself. I decided to publish it....
I was recently the recipient of one of the BEST Christmas gift idea ever! Well, one of the best I have ever received. I couldn’t resist sharing this with you all. I think it’s such a wonderful idea and others may know someone they want to do this for. Have you ever watched the Christmas...
Three weeks ago we moved out of the first home that we ever owned. Well, first home we borrowed from the bank, haha. We had lived there almost 11 years. We brought 2 babies home, watched our oldest become a teenager and added more fur babies than my husband wanted in that house. So...
We decided to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary (May 14, 2017) early. Our absolute favorite time to go to Disney World is right after Thanksgiving. However, I have 2 weddings this upcoming December during our preferred time and I didn’t want to go in May or the summer. So we went in December 2016...
January 2nd is my least favorite day of the year. It ranks right below tax day. I am pretty lucky that these are my two saddest days of the year. Anyway, I decided to create a series called “Make Monday Merry”. Why? Well, I think we all could use positivity in our lives, especially on...
Last year I heard about this idea to embrace a word for the year instead of making resolutions. Let me be honest here, I thought it was silly. I continued on with my traditional list making for 2016, but one new thing I added was to celebrate the past year’s accomplishments and blessings (which we...
There has been so much violence and heartache in the world. Now I haven’t looked up any statistics as to wether these events are increasing in reality or if I just hear more about them due to social media and the internet. I usually keep quiet about hot topics, but have found myself a bit...
This girl turned 9 today! Layla’s name means “dark beauty” and she lived up to her name the day she was born. She came out screaming (via c-section) with a full head of thick black hair. I was so shocked by her hair that I did not believe she was mine, but the doctors assured...
#bestjobever #ilovemyjob #lifeisamazing #seizetheday #lifeisgood #happy #content These are all fabulous hashtags that I am sure all of you, as I do, wish we could genuinely apply to our every day lives. Can we? I’m going to take a minute to be completely honest with you about what happened to me earlier this year. Now...
We went to Disney in December of 2015. I WE LOVE DISNEY! We go as often as we can. I love family vacation. Especially now that I work basically opposite shifts as my husband. I give up many weekends for weddings and sessions that we just don’t always get to do fun things together. I always...
Many of you may have followed along last fall on Instagram and saw my IKEA kitchen renovation project. It was quite the adventure! I’ve been meaning to write a post about it but haven’t had the chance. I made some time to take photos this morning. Keep in mind I have 3 kids, a puppy and...
YAY! It’s New Year’s Eve! You know what that means, don’t you? It’s time to sit down with a pen and paper and make a list of everything I did wrong this year or want to do better next year, like I do every year. Isn’t that exciting? … *pause with big cheesy smile* …...
I became a mom at 19. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to have children. I loved babies and taking care of them. I am a caregiver, it’s just in me. I became a full time stay at home mom in early 2007. I had only been working part time since...
