As we are preparing for our first family vacation, I’ve had to make myself take a step back. The past couple weeks have been weeks of lots of  breakdowns, therapy appointments for the kids, doctors appointments and adoption paperwork has been crazy. Add that on top of our normal schedule with activities and school. I […]

Motherhood has many seasons, just like the four seasons we have. Well in NC we have some fake seasons. Like right now as I am typing this we are having Fake Fall. I know the Summer heat is coming back soon. Motherhood and my life is like that. August was all about growing as a […]

Lele and I were talking about dreams the other day and how she stopped chasing dreams. I felt like a ton of bricks hit me, when she said that. A few seconds later she goes, I am starting to want to chase them again because of you and daddy. You guys are helping me want […]

I can’t believe August is almost over.!! July came and went like a blink of an eye. It has been awhile since I have written a blog. I am really not sure why that is, I had intentions to write some blogs, but I just didn’t for different reasons like…in July I didn’t really work, […]

So it has been almost four weeks since my hysterectomy.  I have to tell you that I frustrated that my move and exercise streak would be broken on my Apple watch. I was on a 238 streak of beating my goal. In fact in the past year I had only missed 3 days. See everyday […]

So on a walk recently I was listening to a podcast and they said something that hit home with me. It was about finding joy. It got me thinking about all the things I do and can find joy in. Even when it is tough, there are things that I can find joy in. First […]

Have you ever gone through a phase where it is hard to stay motivated? Whether it’s being healthy, chasing a dream or to get up early in the morning? After moving into our apartment I had a week that I was having a hard time staying motivated to eat healthy, work on my business and […]

In the past year or so I have been pulled out of my comfort zone and other times I have chosen to step out of my comfort zone. You know what? I am totally okay with it. A little over a year ago, we did our first hiking trip and had a blast. Since then […]

Ever since I was a child I have loved cookbooks. I remember looking through my mom’s and wanting to try recipes. I know these days it is so easy to use Pinterest or google to search recipes, but for some time I have had a dream of writing my own cookbook. I actually collect cookbooks. […]
