I like to think I am a goal oriented person. Sometimes though, my wants and needs get pushed aside to take care of others first. 2020 taught me a lot about taking a step back and putting myself ahead. In a way 2020 was a blessing in disguise. There weren't any forceful feelings of obligation... Continue Reading →
Blogmas 2020: Day 6
What an eventful weekend we had! Yesterday we spent all day running errands and building the kid's big gifts while they were gone. Today we celebrated my birthday (which is actually tomorrow).

Find The Gratitude part 2
Last week I decided we were going to do this Find The Gratitude idea that I had. Every night after dinner we would tell each other what we are grateful for. After the first day, I figured, maybe we should write it down somewhere. So, I decided to make a gratitude tree. I found a... Continue Reading →

Trying To Keep Sane
We have all seen it. The world seems to be in a dark and scary place right now. Before the start of 2020, I thought surely 2020 would have to be better than how my 2019 went. 2019 was a hard year for me personally. Had I known 2020 was going to come in the... Continue Reading →
Mental Health Update

Time Flies
One year ago today I was 29 weeks pregnant, walking into Walmart for our typical grocery shopping. Immediately after walking through the doors, my water broke and panic set over me. I KNEW it was my water, but was hoping it was in fact pee. We rushed to the bathroom and quickly rushed back out... Continue Reading →
