{30 Days of Truth: Day #3-something you need to forgive yourself for…} I hang my head at the thought of some of the things in my past. As I type this, I find myself taking big deep gulps at the honesty I’m about to lay out there. The truth. The pain. The things I am […]

It’s been a week since we received the news that we are moving to Kodiak. I’m going to be quite honest…it’s taking some time to settle in. We aren’t talking a move to somewhere relatively close by. We are talking a major life changing move. A move that so few others have the courage or […]

If you are here for No Mom Talk Monday…WELCOME! Grab a button, some coffee and go sit in the corner {or on the couch or wherever you can find a quiet space…if anywhere} and get some YOU time! This is the time during the week where you leave the motherhood and the parenting behind for […]

I just seemed to have completely and totally lost sight of everything that did matter and focused instead on a bunch of junk that doesn’t. The separation is taxing and exhausting. Especially on the days where […]

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.
