I am grateful for Saturday mornings. Saturday mornings are the only day that I get to sleep for more than 4 hours. As a mom of 3 young kids and person dealing with mental illnesses (on top of currently having been sick for nearly 2 months), sleep just doesn't come easily. Then when it does,... Continue Reading →
Yes I am a large woman and No I am not ashamed of it. Perhaps it is the social anxiety, or years of bullying I endured simply for having "extra" amounts of fat or skin, that makes me feel as though people think I am, or should be, ashamed of my body. I can honestly... Continue Reading →
One, two, skip a few... I can't believe this month is halfway over already! Fall is finally hanging around here in Nebraska. The leaves are taking over the yard in pretty red, yellow, and green tones. It is roughly 53 degrees and I am loving it! Part of the Fall season that gets me excited... Continue Reading →

Today was the first day I took my antidepressant. I decided last night to take it in the mornings because I read it could cause more insomnia problems (which I already have enough of). I also told myself last night that when it came time to take it I was not going to overthink it,... Continue Reading →
I definitely am an advocate for honesty. I have always strived to teach my children to be honest. Sometimes though, they are brutal and unwarranted in their honesty. I thought it would be fun to share some of the things they have said lately. 1. On the way to the doctor's office. Monkey (2 going... Continue Reading →
Names names names, there are so many names! After getting married we began brainstorming ideas for our future children's names. At the time, I had just quit working at a daycare and had really liked the name James. It was one of my favorite kid's names (yes there were favorite kids) at the time. It... Continue Reading →
