This morning I wrote in my journal : “Today, Emmy went to preschool.” Except she did not go to preschool, she went to Kindergarten. Maybe this was my subconscious not wanting to admit she is gone. The years have gone so fast- faster than I could’ve ever imagined they would. So many new beginnings. Jayde […]

Over the last few years I’ve been trying to eat less processed food and more “real” food. I am definitely not perfect and have to admit I have a slight love affair with McDonald’s french fries; but my goal is better not perfection. The other day I tried this homemade coffee creamer recipe from Fed […]
Some days it can make my insides scream, the constant doing and undoing. Chores to be done again, again and again. Much like a factory worker on a line, the same motions, day in and day out. Not all days are bad but every now and then, rage bubbles up in me. I dread wiping […]

Hello! Last week my mom and dad took my girls for the week which meant lots of cleaning, organizing and some projects for me! I literally took a carful of items to donate and Matt took a load to the dump. I went through school papers, decor, clothes, etc. It felt SO good getting rid […]
I saw her- a woman I aspired to be like. In a white Yukon XL, dressed in the latest fashion trends (whatever they were back then), shiny blonde hair in a ponytail. She was pretty, put together, obviously had money, with a car full of kids in the back. As I drove by her in […]
I definitely am overdue on this blog post! It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all on the back addition- so here is your update! So, electrical is all done! I had to figure out where I wanted lights, can lights, how many can lights to do, outlets, etc. Lots of little decisions! We […]
Photography Source She hates me and I don’t know why. For real though. Maybe you think I should use the words “irritated by”, “dislikes” or something more like “not a fan of” or “allergic to”. You might be thinking I’m being dramatic and exaggerating. But no, drama is really not my thing and while I […]
