Navigating my life with laughter and raw honesty.
I know I am not alone when I say, I hate the start of school. I don't hate it because I'm going to miss the endless bickering, or hearing Tik Toks on repeat. I hate it because my job gets harder. I love summer break, it's a break for me too. No lunches to pack,... Continue Reading →
We've always heard the saying, opposites attract. I'm not saying that occasionally they don't, what I am saying is sometimes, opposites are just opposite. In my younger years I was a searcher. A searcher of all things that resembled a soulmate. I obviously had no idea who I was, or what I was looking for,... Continue Reading →

My date is hot The swing set got picked up this weekend. I wasn’t nearly as sad as I thought I would be. Addison on the other hand has shed a few tears. As a matter of fact there is now a chair in the exact spot that her swing was in. A memorial of... Continue Reading →
1 year ago today. We finally settled on Bailey. Technically Bailey Boo if she’s signing any legal documents I have a friend who has told me several times that a collection of my Facebook posts would make for a great book. When memories like this one from last year pop up I’m certain she may... Continue Reading →
My morning view I remember when birthdays were a whole day of celebration. Shoot if I'm being honest, I've been known to draw them out into whole weekends and may have occasionally tried to stretch them into weeks. I'm going to blame that on my only child syndrome and the fact that my husband rarely... Continue Reading →
Dear 42, I’m not sure where to start. I dare say, you have been the most pivotal year yet. You and I rode quite the roller coaster. Here’s just a few of the highlights. 42 taught me that not everyone is in my corner, and that’s ok. I’m a lot, and I mean that in... Continue Reading →
