  • 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…

  • i stopped wearing my apple watch…

    I’ve been wearing my Apple Watch every day for the last 3+ years and this week, I took it off. When I first got it, I thought it was great–I’m notoriously known for leaving my phone everywhere & hard to get a hold of. So, the watch was the perfect solution. People could get in…

  • So…

    Life has changed drastically since I last wrote! 2020 started out ok, then the pandemic hit. Life as we know it got flipped upside down. My kids & husband were now just always around…still are. Our social lives completely changed–all the family get-togethers stopped. My son’s ABA went completely virtual, then ended. Life was crazy,…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • What’s a “perfect mom”?

    Let me be clear, I am in no way a perfect mom. I had someone make that comment to me the other day and it has bothered me since. I’m not sure exactly what a perfect mom even is. I love my kids, but they drive me nuts. I love spending time with them, but…

  • 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…
