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…

That was a blur. I had a birthday somewhere in there and ate some good food with family on Thanksgiving but that’s…

Okay guys. My heart is heavy tonight. It could be exhaustion from teaching, working out, doing the dishes, working out some more, cooking dinner, allowing my son to drive me to pick up a prescription, giving my daughter a bath, reading with her, showering, and then reading a book for school. Or I’m PMS’ing. Ugh……

It’s been six years since my mommy died. Actually, it’s been six years today that my mommy died. Somewhere around 3:15 pm to be exact. Every year I post a picture or two or more of my beautiful mommy on social media and say, “Six years ago today, I lost my beautiful mommy.” It seems…

I grew up on Monopoly. My three big sisters would come over for the weekend and my dad and my mom would get out the vintage game of Monopoly. There would be cardboard pizza, Doritos, Deans dip, and Pepsi. Mind you this was the 80’s. I remember my mom scratching the middle of the board…
