Change Isn’t Always Easy

Change is always happening. The world is constantly changing. You are constantly changing. Your life is constantly changing. Everything is constantly changing. Change can be good or bad. Usually even on the worst days change is for the better, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time. But does change come easily? AreContinue reading “Change Isn’t Always Easy”

Stop Chasing People

I moved out of my hometown 10 years ago. I didn’t go far, just a town over, a short 15-20 minute drive. I didn’t want to go too far from my family, but my husbands work had plans to move so the drive would be closer for him. When we moved I did my bestContinue reading “Stop Chasing People”

I’m The Bad Guy

For as long as I can remember every story has a good guy and a bad guy. Ariel and Ursula. The 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf. Simba and Scar. Alladin and Jafar. Alice and the queen of hearts. You see what I mean? There was always a bad guy. Today I realizedContinue reading “I’m The Bad Guy”

She Doesn’t Remember

Wow life has just been going on full force over here. I’m working full time for the first time in what feels like forever, while also juggling Sassy Mamaroo, a part time job, mom life, and my wifely duties. It feels like there is never enough time in a day to get done what IContinue reading “She Doesn’t Remember”

Learning To Love My Body

Having babies changes your body. Aging changes your body. Eating habits, exercise, so many things change your bodyContinue reading “Learning To Love My Body”

Dear Ashlee, I Love You

This is a gift to one of the most amazing, gorgeous, talented, kindhearted, brilliant woman I’ve ever met. You see I met Ashlee back in 2007 when I started my first job. From the moment she walked into my life, I knew we would be best friends, I just didn’t know I had found myContinue reading “Dear Ashlee, I Love You”

The Pictures Are Terrible

I really debated on whether or not to share this. I of course got my daughters approval. This is real life. These are things we go through and moments in motherhood that are soul crushing. I’ve been fighting back tears for days as I debated this, but it’s important.

Teach Your Son About Periods

You know that post that has floated around social media for a while with the caption that goes something like, “Your girl wakes up like this, what you doing?” And it shows a girl laying in bed with blood on her pants or on the sheets. Yeah I hate that post. I’ve seen many commentsContinue reading “Teach Your Son About Periods”

Celebrating 2 Years

Ah! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already. 2 years ago after sitting on this for years just waiting for the right moment to start, not knowing there would never be a right moment, I finally took the leap. A leap I will never regret. The only thing I regret is not starting sooner.Continue reading “Celebrating 2 Years”
