Pregnancy, when you’re growing life inside of you and it’s this beautiful, magic time of your life. Or it’s not, and the ‘pregnancy glow’ you have is actually just sweat and you now come with your own sound effects when you move (grunt, grunt, moan). Sometimes it’s both of these things, sometimes it’s both within…
Have you ever given much thought to, who you really are? I mean, outside of being a mom, or daughter, friend, employee/employer? When that person at the party says, “So tell me about yourself.” What do you say? “Oh, I’ve been married for twenty years, and have two kids. My youngest is starting high school…
We’ve all heard it time and time again, marriage is no walk in the park. But until you’ve been married and faced troubles, you don’t realize just how true that statement is.

Have you ever been asked a question, found yourself gushing out an awkward explanation for an answer, and then felt pretty silly afterwards? Yeah, me too. It’s called over-explaining. We all do it sometimes, and we’ve got to stop. This habit of over-explaining ourselves can be a major problem. I’m not talking about meaningful back…
I’m one of those people that likes to eat healthy, but I’m also pretty lazy when it comes to cooking. It’s a tough combination. Which means when I make something for dinner it has to be quick to make, easy to do and tasty enough that my 4 year old son will eat it. Enter…

We love connecting with others and finding awesome cat videos to entertain us, but in the same breath spend way too much time watching said cat videos and stalking following our friends.
