Through This Storm

I didn’t want to go to church today. Honestly, I didn’t. Our church is doing a series on finances, and while it’s definitely had some takeaways, it’s not been feeding my spirit the way that I want it to... So when I overslept this morning and while my three-year-old made everything a fight, I wanted …

Combating “Mom Guilt”: The Bubble Theory

Happy (late, but better than never) Mother's Day! I'm not a psychologist. Or a philosopher. However, I established a theory called the "bubble theory" and it's the perfect way to eradicate some of the mom guilt that we may be carrying around with us. Mom Guilt is real and frankly, irrational. It's that annoying feeling, …

Grieving and Parenting: My Life Can’t Stop Because Their’s Did

  "Grief is the price we pay for love."- Queen Elizabeth II I've recently lost people in my world who I never expected to lose. At 21, I never imagined going to so many funerals of my friends back to back. I never imagined that I'd have to learn to navigate a world where my …

An Open Letter to the Man Who Will Love Us Forever

One day, I'll marry you. And rather than getting a super hot wife (which you will), you'll also get a super cool kid. And I hope that you're either hot or cool. Both are preferred, but not necessary. Dating as a single mom is one of my serious insecurities. You'll know that. And you'll think …

Heartbreak & Healing

I'd first like to apologize for my hiatus. I took a brief break to practice some self care and to prioritize some things. But I'm back! To begin, I'd like to state that the past few months were filled with heartbreak, grief, and frustration. I don't have the tips or the advice on how to …

Love: An Action

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I decided to squeeze in an additional blog post before tomorrow's official V-Day post. As the days have passed and as we've moved closer and closer to the holiday, many people have been sharing things that they want as gifts for Valentine's Day or they've been sharing photos of …

Here's a mini blog for all the mamas who have somehow squeezed enough time into their very busy lives for a Netflix subscription/addiction. Truly, though, if you have found some free time to watch tv, you do not want to waste 15 minutes of that precious time by scrolling through all of the titles that …

#pottytrainingprobs

  Who'd have ever guessed that something we do every single day, without flaw, was once an impossible task? Pottytrainig my child, like so many other things in parenthood, have made me appreciate my mother even more. When we, as adults, use the bathroom, it's mindless. We don't have to think about it. It just …

THIS IS A FUN ONE!!! Let's forget about the kids this post-everything can't be about them all of the time! I am a firm believer in "If you look good, you feel good." I think that it is so important to occasionally throw on lipstick or eyeliner or mascara or ALL so that you don't …

Picky Eater Problems

There is a video on my phone of Chloe, at five months, trying baby green beans for the first time...and gagging. In the video, she gags, clearly repulsed, and spits them out. I laugh because it's truly hysterical to think that a five month old can have such a discerning palette. After that, she turns …
