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 […]
Home. I’ve lived in an old white house, corn fields surrounding. My dog, Roosevelt on the cement block of porch. My horse, Brownie in the field. My sisters all about. As I grew, so did the house. Rooms added on, one by one throughout the years. I was brought to that home a baby and […]
Hello!! We just got back from an 8 day vacation in beautiful Colorado- our family’s vacays overlapped which worked out for us! We split up our time between the two and had so much fun! Swimming, rafting, horseback riding, jeeping, hiking, and lots of eating was all done. I was SO excited to see what […]
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 […]
Hello friends! Happy July 1st!! I feel like I am finally in the groove of summer- it always takes me a while to get used to the new norm. Brielle played her last softball game last week and Jayde has her last softball tournament this weekend. After that, we are activity free for the rest […]
One hundred degrees – too hot for anything, even the pool in my opinion. We’ve had multiple 100 degree days thus far this month and I’ve been trying to think of some fun things we can do indoors- besides watching tv. Pinterest is my go-to when searching crafts and diys; I found these adorable clay […]
They feel never-ending – the days that seem to stretch on forever and bedtime feels too far away. The bottles made and washed, put out on a towel-lined counter to dry. Diaper changes, too many to count. Every day the same, but different. Open tired eyes, feed and change, snack time and naps. Laundry is […]
