I wrote a post the other day about how horrible I am at Fatherhood. Being a daddy is not for me. I know nothing of the sorts about football and cars and tools. I’d rather sit inside and play quietly or read or do something equally as boring relaxing. This is much, much easier said […]

As promised, I decided to make list of 25 things I’m going to do/say/change about life to really embrace every moment before I’m 25. As I mentioned yesterday in my “What is Living Beautiful?” post, we aren’t promised tomorrow. We are certain that this moment won’t be our last. And me, being the slightly neurotic […]

The past several months have been life changing to say the least. Time passes, whether we choose to enjoy the days we’re given or wallow in the self pity and sorrow that we can choose to make for ourselves. Being without my husband, being without a home of my own, being a single parent-all make […]

{ONE} My weekend was packed full of Extreme Makeover: Blog Edition. I’m sure you notice [and if you don’t, well, that’s just weird] the new look. New colors. New name. New lots of things. I have a post coming tomorrow {tentatively…} that will go into more detail and explain the new changes and what you […]

Yes. You’re in the right place. This was formerly “Make Me a Blessing” and now you’ve been redirected to something called Live Beautiful… well that’s me. Same content, different name. There have been a lot of changes in my life the past several months and I felt like it was time to rename the ole […]

Watching this little blue eyed boy fall in love with life… Telling my husband that I love him at least 8 or 9 times before we ever say goodnight… Opening the door to Little Man’s bedroom in the mornings to find him standing up in bed with a grin on his face… Hearing one simple […]

Single Parenting is not for me. I don’t know how you other single moms and military moms do it. The past 4 months have been exhausting and extremely taxing on my nerves and my patience level. I worry that I am doing an awful job. I fear that Little Man isn’t getting everything he needs, […]

{ONE} I started house hunting this weekend. We still have no clue where we are going to move, but the idea of getting out of here and being in my own home again was a relief. It took a little bit of the tension off of my shoulders and I allowed myself to get sucked […]

I am totally in love with Panera Bread. I’d never eaten at one until we moved to Florida, but now I scout them out wherever we go. Their macaroni and cheese is to die for. Fortunately for me [and you] I managed to stumble across the recipe. Which I will now share.  🙂 You will […]

I touched very lightly on the subject of Faith yesterday. How I’m feeling tested…strained…stretched even. And what’s unusual, is that I find myself welcoming it. Anticipating it. Expecting it. I’ve come to learn that while we have moments in life that are perfect and go exactly as we hoped and wished, more often than not, […]
