Do you ever have those moments, usually in the midst of chaos, where you just suddenly realize that you have absolutely no idea what you are doing? It’s as if you are no longer an adult, capable of making decisions, but more like a child trying to navigate an insanely huge world. I’ve had that […]
We all know not to judge a book by its cover, but who doesn’t really? If the cover isn’t appealing to you, why would you even bother picking it up? People are the same way; we’re attracted or turned off by what we see, but sometimes we miss out on some truly amazing people because […]
I cannot believe that it’s been six weeks since I started my first round of the 21 day fix. The time has flown by, and by default, so has the summer. Soon, it will be September and that’s crazy! What a whirlwind year. I also can’t believe that I’m heading into my third round of […]
19 months! So hard to believe that every day the girls are getting closer and closer to two, though right now they’re only 16 months corrected.

There’s a lot of differences between typical parenting and special needs parenting. There’s lots of ups and downs and there’s a lot of things that as a parent, you need to accept. But, I think one of the most wonderful parts of being a special needs parent is finding the joy and excitement in everything, […]
Worth is a very subjective thing. Some people say the price of high fashion is insane, while others say the absolutely gorgeous pieces are worth every penny. But, self worth is even more elusive. It comes and goes based on how our relationships are, how work is, even how we look. What happens when you […]
I did it! Wait. Let me try again: I DID IT!!! I have officially finished my first ever 21 day fix. And although there were moments where I wanted to throw in the sweat soaked towel, I didn’t. I did the food plan. I used those teeny containers. (Like, wtf Autumn? We’re not squirrels.) I […]
Have you ever been in your car and looked over and the person next to you was crying? You don’t know why, and you don’t even know them, but you feel like you should do something? You offer a sympathetic smile or wave as you make eye contact before both of you driving off. Last […]
