I will start this post with a warning that it is not going to be an easy one to read. It’s not light hearted, and off topic of what I usually write about, but it’s life, it’s reality and it has to stop being ignored. Heroin addiction needs to be talked about. More than 50,000 […]
An Ode To My Girlfriends
This is an Ode to my girlfriends… of sorts. I believe an ode is actually sort of like a poem or lyrics, but since I don’t write poetry and you definitely don’t want to hear me sing, I guess this could be more considered a dedication to my girlfriends. Now that Christmas is over and […]
2 Years Ago
Two years ago today I started this blog. I really didn’t have any expectations for it, but just wanted to have an outlet to talk about motherhood, marriage and just every day life. It started off with a few friends, my mom, my grandma and my sisters reading it, which I was so excited about, […]
The Gifts of Christmas
So as many of you may know by now, I love Christmas. I mean I Loveeeeee Christmas. I set up the tree before Thanksgiving, the outside of my home is decorated with all sorts of lights, we watch Christmas movies for a month straight and start the Christmas music in November (okay maybe October some […]
When Your Cup Feels Empty.
This is a difficult post to write. One I wasn’t sure I would even share, but I feel it’s important to be honest and open, even if it only touches one person. September used to be one of my favorite months of the whole year. It was the month I got married in, the month […]
Let’s take a minute and get real:
Three times in the last week I have had another mom say to me: You have three kids, and you make it looks easy… How do you do it?” These words stun me every time. Like legitimately stun me. And I am fairly certain that they can tell by the look on my face (for […]
It’s Okay, Not to be Okay
It’s okay, not to be okay. Those were the words I received in a text from a dear friend of mine at a pretty low point in my life. I remember reading it, and instantly crying. It was like she saw the pain I was feeling deep inside, without any other words being exchanged. […]
#ThisonesforyouB
As most of you know by now, I lost one of my very best friends to Ovarian cancer back in September of 2011. Her name was Brittany, and she was one of the most incredible women I had ever known. She worked in the city schools, where she stuck out like a sore thumb with […]
When Your Last Words Were Not Enough
I left her house knowing deep down that was probably the last time I would talk to her. The last time I would hold her hand and the last time I would hear her voice. Yet I didn’t say good bye. I couldn’t. I sat next to her bed and we talked about marriage and […]
Forgiveness
Forgiveness: It’s the hardest thing to give away, and the last thing on your mind today. It always goes to those that dont deserve. It’s the opposite of how you feel. When the pain they caused is just too real. It takes everything you have just to say the word, Forgiveness. Forgiveness. It flies in the […]
