Happy Friday! I haven’t done a Friday Chit Chat in quite some time, so I figured I would do one today! I want to share my new favorite fall hat (it’s SO good), our trip to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Gretna, NE, my why for taking the rest of the year off Instagram and reality. […]
Working moms. Stay at home moms. Who has it the worst? Online, you can find a myriad of thoughts, opinions and facts on the subject.

Life can be hard. But it can also be wonderful. It is filled with magical, soulful moments, beauty and love and goodness, mixed with laughter, the kind that makes you cry, and lots of joy. So much joy. The hard parts of life will happen to you in one way or another. You’ll be left […]
