In Pieces- Book Review
There is an extreme vulnerability that biographies possess that I find so intriguing. Now that I am a sophisticated grown up, I have come to find that I really get into reading all different kinds of memoirs. I can relate to the transparency and appreciate the authenticity of a person sharing their life experiences. Reading […]

When Is Nap Time
Nap time is so important. Not just for moms but babies too! It is pretty crazy that a nap can dictate an entire day but man….does it ever. I was miserable until my little miss finally got her schedule down. This girl is completely different than her older brother. Back in the day when he […]

Journey: How her story unfolds
Early in the year 2017 I had noticed this overwhelming complacent feeling! I felt that something needed to change. Something different. Stuck in a rut. Same house, same story, no money to move, never satisfied with where I worked. The most rewarding place I’ve ever worked is home and that is where I longed […]

My Very First Blog Post
Ahhh, my first post. Here it is. This is it! How Did I Get Here It took me a long time to come to fulfill this idea of blogging. The idea seemed to gradually unfold in my mind over the past couple years. I would dismiss it knowing that blogs are a dime a […]
