I promised you guys photos of the new house, so here ya’ go! Keep in mind that these are serving as “before” photos! I haven’t painted, or completely unpacked yet [considering our household goods haven’t arrived]. Once I do I will show you those photos too so you can see what a home interior mastermind […]

Being in a new home has given me a lot of perspective on change and adaptation…both of which we are doing a lot of lately. The husband is love, love, loving his new job at the clinic and I am so proud of him for pursuing what it was that he really, really wanted. He […]

  Welcome back to the second edition of No Mom Talk Monday here on the new [and might I say, improved?] Mommy Matters blog. Thanks to those of you who linked up last week! You guys made my day! **In case you aren’t familiar with No Mom Talk Monday, the rules are quite simple: You […]
