It's been a month since I've made time to post new content. Heck, it's been a month since I have even written anything new, although I do come up with ideas for stuff, almost daily. The hardest part is making time to just be long enough to get the creative juices flowing again. Life is happening all the time, there is always something going on. Something new, something old still unresolved, always something to occupy our minds. Once my mind gets bogged down with everything else it makes it extremely difficult to gather the motivation (if I ever do find a moment where someone doesn't need me for something) to be still long enough to get the computer on, open up a page and start writing.  The other day on my break, I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a post of a new blogger, who had written her very first post and wanted some feedback. I was for sure reading her post, somehow, I knew it would make me feel better about my own posts (that sounds shitty, doesn

Everyone feels defeated in life from time-to-time. I know I do... My Current State of Mind 5/10/2018 @ 6am With so many things going on right now, sometimes I even forget to take a breath. For the last few years, it seems life has been kicking my behind. I don't feel like I want a whole lot out of life, just to be able to enjoy simple things, would be refreshing. I am mentally exhausted from this roller coaster ride. Too many downward spirals, not enough ups. I am trying, but perhaps not hard enough? I suppose there has to be some reason I keep ending up on the losing end of everything! I am feeling a little defeated if you couldn't already tell. It is so very hard to carry on day to day, being positive when inside your soul is just tired. Sometimes all I want to do is curl up in the bed and just cry for a while, just be alone, for time to just to stand still and give me just a few minutes of solitude to make sense of all the mess. I keep pushing forward, but c

One of my all-time favorite things to do is be creative. Unfortunately, with so much momming to do, it sometimes leaves very little time for mommy to get her creative juices flowing. So, anytime my little comes to me and wants to create something, I jump at the opportunity to squeeze in some creative time with my little! My two favorite things in the whole world! Over the weekend my son asked me if I would start measuring his height against the wall in our hallway. My first thought was Ya! that sounds like a cool idea, but then I started thinking, we are renters so we would lose the memories when we move. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to get some ideas of how to make a height chart for them, that would actually work for us. I even created a board with some of the cool ideas that I found! I really liked the height chart made of wood, but who has time and money for all that! I wanted to spend no money on this project, 1. because I don't have any to spend and 2. because I

Don't get me wrong being a mom is hard work! But it is one of the most wonderful things in this world. I love my two littles more than anything! Here are 4 reasons to Love being a Mom!   1. Unconditional Love! Oh, my goodness, the feeling of knowing those little faces will love me forever, no matter what silly thing I may do, no matter how silly I dance, no matter how much weight I gain, no matter how lousy I play PS4, or how bad I am at cooking! Guess what, they still love me. They love me when I forget to put on deodorant, even when I forget to bathe them for a few days! Eek! But I am their number 1, their back up, their Momma! And I am proud!   2. Unlimited Kisses & Snuggles! Yes, now I know at some point they are not going to allow this, so I soak up as many as I can possibly handle now! There is nothing more comforting than a snuggle with my two angels. They are so warm, so full of love and life. They are amazing! My favorite place in the world, is snug

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my luscious long locks, but let's face it, my hair spends most of its time in a bun! I have to put it up before bed, I wear it up at work and on weekends, it also spends most of its time in a disarrayed ponytail on the back of my head! Long hair is a beautiful thing but it takes way too much time, effort and energy to maintain! Who has time for all that non-sense? I need as many things as possible to be easy, simple and virtually effortless, that way I have more time for the things that matter most! Like enjoying my littles! 1. Beat the Heat!

It gets soo hot here. Plus, you’ll even look good coming out of the pool, no need to deal with all that long tangled wet mess, with your new short bob! 2. Money Saver! Less hair means, le
