What makes autumn a seasonal favorite? The bright reds and yellows? The cool breeze? The smell of crisp fresh air? Whatever it is, it’s intoxicating. Even to the animals. The musty smell of life can finally escape the house as it breathes in the season. Windows wide open, lights dancing around the floor, giving the…

Do your kids have it all figured out? Do they know how to live in this crazy world and constantly give YOU advice? I mean, when did they get so smart anyway? (Hand to face emoji here). Sometimes my kids make valid points and I am grateful for their advice. I mean, let’s face…

…in me. I’m not quite sure how to describe it. I’m in a weird season…oh wait. You know what it is? I think I’m starting to actually feel like an adult now. I know, I know, it’s weird. I’m kind of a whirlwind of a person. I’m extremely carefree and spontaneous driving all the type…

I still miss my mom. At 3:15 pm, on August 9th, 2011, my mom took her last breath. I probably should have a better way to cope with this day, which trust me, I am doing great compared to the first few years. But I hate that this day looms over me. We celebrate her…

Mental health is real. It’s mean. It’s ugly. And it’s present. Everyone battles some form of it. My friends and I joke that we are all on the spectrum somewhere (no disrespect to those on the spectrum. I have family members actually on the spectrum). But for some reason it’s so hush hush. No one…

Does anybody remember October? I don’t. I was excited and got pumpkins out near the first of October and then, boom it was Halloween. But everything in between is gone. Oh and November? That was a blur. I had a birthday somewhere in there and ate some good food with family on Thanksgiving but that’s…

I probably shouldn’t be posting so early in the evening. Something is bound to happen. But for now, I am going to vent. As I sit in a waiting room, I can’t stop thinking about all the different parenting blogs and articles that I have read since adopting three beautiful kids. Love and logic Choose…
