When I was pregnant with Little Man, one of the only gifts that I requested from anyone was a Glider Rocker. Somewhere I could sit with my new baby and relax, nurse, and collapse at the end of an exhausting day and cuddle. When we put the nursery together and were in the process of fixing everything […]

Living with the mistakes of the past is hard. No matter how badly you want to move forward and let go… Sometimes it can be difficult. Despite the road that life has led me down, letting go of the disappointment that came from flunking out of college only two semesters in, has been one of my […]

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 […]

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 […]

How many of you know someone who has battled Alzheimer’s? Back in the early 2000’s (can’t remember which year specifically), my grandmother, the one I referred to dearly as “Maw” was diagnosed with the disease. It started slowly, but progressed faster and faster until eventually there was nothing left of the person that she once […]

I’m so angry with my Window’s Live Writer Program this morning, because this post didn’t go up when it was supposed to. So, make sure you go read this, even though it was late! : ) Today I’m Guest Posting for Jessica @ Freckles and Dirt! She’s a super sweet gal, who’s also a photoshop […]

I remember being disappointed all too many times growing up. Disappointed in little things, bit things, things that just didn’t go my way. I remember being disappointed in life, being let down time and time again by people and family who were supposed to be there to support me and encourage me all the time, […]
