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 →
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).

A couple months ago I received an email saying that my primary care provider was no longer going to be in practice this Summer. I literally just started seeing her this last year when my other primary doctor left the practice. Anyways, I wasn't sure what that would mean for continuing my meds, so I... Continue Reading →
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 →
Day 29. GET RID OF A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP. I can honestly say that I do not have any toxic relationships left in my life. About 2 and a half years ago or so is when I decided NO MORE! I had zero tolerance for relationships that didn't bring me happiness. I didn't let blood (family)... Continue Reading →
