Today we celebrated the seventh birthday of our Littlest Ladies. We always seem to do it in March even though their birthday is in February. In a way though, it’s fitting. They were born in February but we didn’t get to enjoy them at home until March. The Twins were born at 33 weeks andContinue reading “Looking Back on The Early Days”

468
468. That’s how many days it’s been since I last posted on this blog. Just a couple of months shy of a year and a half. My last post, Today, was dark. I’d just lost one of my best friends, a woman who helped raise me, and had such an incredible impact on this world.Continue reading “468”
The Story Behind the Pictures
I’ve always done my best to keep this blog open and honest so in the spirit of transparency, I decided to share some pictures in here instead of my other social media, so I could share the full stories behind them. A reminder to everyone out there that you shouldn’t compare yourself to what youContinue reading “The Story Behind the Pictures”
New Year’s Day!
Eight years ago (my God has it really been eight years?!) I got my heart broken on New Years Eve. A couple days later I adopted The Little Bad Dog and five months later I met the love of my life. Six months after that I met my oldest children and so on and soContinue reading “New Year’s Day!”
September Thoughts
I have miraculously been granted a moment of peace by the entire family and so it is with great pleasure that I take some time to relax and gather my many scattered thoughts. September has held a shadow of sadness for me for almost as long as I can remember. The terrorist attacks on 9/11Continue reading “September Thoughts”
Who Loved You Into Being?
The other night The Hubs and I decided to watch “A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood,” the Mr. Roger’s movie with Tom Hanks. It made me cry on three separate occasions because I’m a sap and it’s just a damn good story. What stopped me in my tracks though was one line. As Lloyd VogelContinue reading “Who Loved You Into Being?”
Finding Joy
I didn’t realize how much I missed writing to you all until the other night. I’ve been writing since October of 2018 and took my longest break from writing this year. Life was crazy and I was depressed. I normally share about that here but I felt short on time and motivation. Since I startedContinue reading “Finding Joy”
Dia De Los Muertos
I’ve struggled with my faith and Catholicism a lot over the years but even as a kid I loved the celebration of All Souls Day. It’s a time when we remember the loved ones who have gone before us. I remember visiting the cemetery and leaving flowers. As an adult, when I learned of DiaContinue reading “Dia De Los Muertos”
Hindsight In 2020
Well, my life as a housewife was blessedly and painfully short lived. Haha! While I did enjoy getting a lot done around the house and watching TV and relaxing, my bank account wasn’t pleased with the new arrangement. I’m pretty sure I was getting on my Husband’s nerves too. By the grace of God aContinue reading “Hindsight In 2020”
Why I Share My Story
My two year blogging anniversary is rapidly approaching. It’s hard to believe that it’s been this long. I talked about writing a blog forever but it took a long time to muster up the courage to do it. We’ve come a long way since that first post. You can read it here. My second postContinue reading “Why I Share My Story”
