Give the best of you. Not the rest of you.

Many things have happened since my last blog over a year ago. Since life decided to toss me into a roller coaster without a seatbelt, I took time away from writing to focus on myself and my family. I lost who I really was though the downward spirals and twist and turns. In order for […]

New Year’s Resolutions starting in February. Is that even allowed?

What is my New Year’s Resolution? To keep a New Year’s Resolution! See, when the New Year hit, I created a long list of New Year Resolutions that I was pretty positive I was going to achieve. This year’s list was probably the longest one that I have ever made. There are many reasons as […]

Follow Through or Falling Out

When life throw us stones, do we reach from them once they have landed on the ground only to throw them back? Do we stare at them while we ache after they’ve hit us? Do we just stand there and take it with out ever fighting back? Or do we take the stone and destroy […]

Girls Trip or Guilt Trip?

My life has been beyond crazy lately.

Summer on a Budget

Now that it’s summer in my area, I have been trying to figure out budget friendly summer activities that will keep my kids completely entertained. That concept is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Today is my son’s 8th birthday and all homeboy wants to do is play video games. Talk about […]

Spring Clean or Shop

This blog is long over due and for that, I’m sorry. Having my husband out of town again for the military, I have been super busy being a “single mom”. The fact that I didn’t pull all my hair out is a good sign that the trip with the hubby away wasn’t too bad. It […]

Ripping Off the Band-Aide

Comfort zones can be a tricky thing. We all think that we are gaining strength, confidence and independence until we have to move out of our comfort zone and are forced to make a home in a new zone. It’s then we realize we were the hero in our old comfort zone and now a […]

A Great Day to Find the Real Me

When life throws more downs than ups, having a way to escape it or to numb the pain seems to be much needed. For me, life has been rough. There’s been way too many situations that I haven’t been able to control or fix. I’ve been able to see the truth in a lot, but […]
