My lovely friend Jessica @ Freckles and Dirt has written a great post today called Did I Ask for your Advice? Make sure you check that out while you’re here! It’s hilarious and something that we can all relate to! I wish blog buttons would play nice. I love showing off everyone’s cute meme buttons, […]

I’ve been debating on whether or not to post this. Pondered whether or not to allow myself to mull it over, dive into how I feel, and allow myself to talk about it. I haven’t really told anyone. Except my husband. And my closest friends. We didn’t even tell our families. I’m not sure why, […]

Today, I’m so excited to have Kathryn @ Our Tiny Big Life guest posting for me! I initially met Kathryn through her photography linkups and posts (the girls got some mad skill, by the way), but was drawn in by her writing and her style with words. I’m sure you guys will see what I’m […]

It’s hard to believe that summer is drawing to a close. The kiddos will be getting ready to go back to school soon (including mine…who will be starting Pre-School in October) and soon all of us “Alaskans” will be preparing for the long, dreary extended hours of darkness.

Slowing it Down by Shell @ Things I Can’t Say: This post, paired with this post made for a weepy mommy these last few weeks. With my little guy getting ready to head off to pre-school in another couple of months, I’m learning and being reminded day after day after day, that I’ll  never get […]

How was your week? Things were good here. Despite wishing I was at #BlogHer and trying to get caught up on blog comments, things were pretty low key around here. I started my C25K Program on Monday, started keeping track of calories again using My Fitness Pal, and I just feel better all the way […]

Growing up my mom was a stay-at-home parent. She did the school parties, the extracurricular activities, the housework, the laundry, the cooking…you know. Typical “mom” stuff. She rarely complained (though I chalk that up to the fact that when we got old enough, she made my sister and I start cleaning and doing laundry). I […]

Okay, well technically I am here as in around. Just not here here on this blog today. But I haven’t gone far. I’m visiting Kathryn over at Our Tiny Big Life for a little mommy talk. More or less, I’m discussing all of the ways I’m a total and complete #fail when it comes to […]

For those of us who are skipping out on #BlogHer this week, you absolutely have to check out the Summer Blog Social being hosted by Jessica @ 4 Plus an Angel and Liz @ A Belle, a bean & a Chicago Dog. They’ve written up some pretty great prompts to give us all a chance […]

It’s really hard for me to write this post. For me to open up, admit to my struggle and finally take the steps to do something about it. It’s been a long time coming, something that I’ve worked on occasionally, only in passing, and then given up and pretended that it didn’t bother me. I’ve […]
