I’ve always been one of those “people pleasing” kind of folks. I don’t like for people to be upset with me (usually…just depending on who you are and whether I really care or not) and I’m all about making sure everyone is taken care of. When I got married and had Little Man, I stopped […]

My friend Kathryn from Our Tiny Big Life has started this amazing series for the month of September called Fall Into Grace. If I tried to put into words exactly what this series is about, I’d fall short in comparison to the spectacular introduction that Kathryn gave on her site: I’ve heard it said that […]

When you’re a kid, ten years seems like forever. An eternity that will never arrive. When you’re 13, you want to be 16 so that you can drive. When you’re 16 you want to be 18 so you can graduate. When you’re 18 you want to be 21 so that you can drink and be […]

Who said this whole “parenting” thing was the hardest job in the world? Because they were right. I’m ready to throw in the towel these days, guys. “Three” is kicking my butt. Big Time. And we aren’t even at three yet. We’re still about six or seven weeks out. And I am tired. Tired of […]

One of the most frustrating things about trying to get pregnant, is dealing with the comments and input from people who A) don’t know that you are trying to conceive and therefore offer up their opinions on why you should be; or B) know that you are trying for another baby and continuously ask you […]

This is supposed to be my Monday Morning Coffee post, but considering that it’s not quite midnight on Sunday evening and I’m doing my writing now, I’m just going to call it what it is: A big fat random array of words and jumbled thoughts. That I’m going to save and post first thing in […]

I’m so excited that I actually had a chance to sit down and READ (and comment) on so many blogs this week. I really miss the interaction and the creative energy flow when I miss out on some of your posts. You guys always spark new ideas for my own posts, and so often I […]

(If you are immediately curious about the title of this post, skip down to point number three…) It’s been a chaotic week (again…it’s sort of becoming a routine). My schedule is jam-packed with new potential client forms and questionnaires coming in every day. Little Man is giving me a run for my sanity with his […]

I’ve mentioned before that high school wasn’t exactly the highlight of my life. And growing up in a small town no one has ever heard of was enough of an encouragement to do anything and everything that I could to leave my high school memories behind and make something of myself. I never wanted to […]

If I’ve learned nothing else in life, it’s that you can’t let other people and what they say bother you. It’s tough, and I still struggle with it on occasion, but for the most part I’m one of those “we all have opinions” kind of people. I may not agree with you, you may not […]
