For real?
Have you ever just had one of those day? Like the day started out pretty ok but then at the end of the day you are like, “what the crap?” Yep, I had one of those days. I simply was getting up early (very early) to take my mom to work because she had hit…

It’s Really Tough Sometimes…..
Have you ever had one of those days? The ones that make you question everything about your life? It seems like I have those days more and more often here lately. I have had so many questions, concerns, and crying sessions than I wonder sometimes if it will ever get better. The truth is that…

Friends and Family
We all have friends. They are the family that we choose for ourselves. I have been so blessed over the years to have many friends that have turned into family. My husband and I have added people to that list over the years that are aunts and uncles to our baby girl. Others of those…
