  • It’s ok to not always be insta-worthy…

    Lately, I’ve been quite frustrated with Instagram. I follow a lot of home decor/renovation accounts & with their new suggested content, it’s all I’m seeing all the time. But, I have a big problem with that. If you go by what you see on Instagram alone, everyone has these grand homes that are always clean…

  • How to be content with what you have…

    This is something I struggle with on a daily basis. But, it’s complicated. I love my family completely–I wouldn’t change a thing about them. What I’m talking about is material possessions. I feel like with so much social media, all we see are things we should have, want or strive for. We should aim for…

  • Sooooo ready for summer…

    Sooooo ready for summer…

    Our whole house–seriously, summer can’t come soon enough!! My son is ready for school to be over & getting him up in the mornings is getting to be more of a chore. My daughter is eagerly waiting for the beach. I’m just ready for a break from the daily grind. We planted our flowers weeks…

  • Vacation!

    Vacation!

    It’s been a week since we got back from vacation & I still feel like I haven’t adjusted! We took the kids to Legoland in Florida, stayed at the Legoland beach resort…basically went all out so that Dex & Piper could have a blast. The kids loved it, and while my husband & I had…

  • Mother/Son Night…

    Mother/Son Night…

    So, Dex & I went to our first Mother/Son night tonight through his school. My goodness, it was crazy!! I seriously felt like we were at a rave for kids. There was laser robot dancers, a crazy strobe light dance floor with a dj…laser tag, a Mario Party truck, trucks & k9 dog attacks. All…

  • New Year, New Plans…

    It’s been months & months since I last posted anything. Lots has been going on! We’re 3 months in to my son’s ABA therapy. It’s been a big adjustment. And every time we feel we’ve gotten used to it, one of the PARAs quit, so then we have to start all over again with a…

  • Easy fencing!

    Easy fencing!

    September was super busy! With all of us still getting used to Dex being in school, we’ve been a bit sluggish. But, we’re also still trying to have as much fun while the weather is nice and with the weather changing, that means I’m racing to get all the home projects that I had planned…

  • A big problem with healthcare in this country…

    Isn’t it crazy that life would be so much easier if my husband & I divorced? Hear me out–we are considered to have excellent healthcare, so everyone keeps telling us. But in order for us to continue having excellent healthcare, my husband has to pay about $1800 a month through his employer. That’s $1800 a…

  • Opening back up my shop…

    Opening back up my shop…

    The plan is to reopen my shop this fall. I’m so conflicted though–a part of me wants to just redesign the whole shop. The other part of me just says to keep it the same. It’s been about 2 years since I went on hiatus & that’s a lot of time to fall behind. I…

  • So far…

    So far…

    So, after all that worrying I did about my son, Dex, starting school…he’s been doing amazingly well. It’s hard to get him to eat and get dressed in a timely manner, but other than that, it’s been great. It’s been 2 weeks, and as crazy as it sounds, he’s been even better at home. I…
