Throughout my life, I have been given the “stuck up” label. By acquaintances who I’ve gotten to know better and after some time, have straight up said to me, “I used to think you were stuck up when I first met you.” In the past I would smile and say, “no, just a little more […]
It has been about a week since I started my happiness project; am I happier you may be asking?! Lol, it’s probably too early to tell but I will say some of the things I focused on this week, did bring me more happiness. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go here for […]
Recently I finished the book, The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin. If you have read this book then you know how great it is and if you haven’t, well then I suggest you purchase it! I have been inspired and motivated to start my own 1 year happiness journey. I turn 35 this month, a […]

It is only the 7th but this month has already felt super busy! May is always one of our busiest months, end of school stuff, 2 of our daughter’s birthdays, sports, graduations, and landscaping projects. In-between games last weekend we decided to try out black mulch instead of the typical lighter brown we usually lay […]
Home Lately, I’ve been thinking about home and what it means to me. So many times I put an emphasis on the design of our home; what color of paint to use in a room, what item to put on a wall or what color of throw blanket to drape over the couch. While I […]
Who knew I’d be almost 35 years old and still struggle with acne?! Any one else well past their 20’s still struggle with this annoyance? I always thought, and was always told, that I would grow out of my acne. But that really hasn’t been the case for me. Is it better than in my […]
